Commercial auto garages have very limited flooring options. Any type of flooring that you choose has to be capable of withstanding the chemicals, weight, and abuse that auto garages face. At Colorado Concrete Repair, we work with a lot of mechanics and car repair shops, creating flooring that fits their needs, and in almost every case, the type of flooring they need most is epoxy.

There are situations where you may find yourself wanting to change your space. Often times, this requires new flooring and cabinetry that relies on having a very level floor. But most properties do not have level flooring. Settling and improper installation (both of which are common for most properties) causes the ground to be uneven, and uneven ground means problems with any new flooring and installations that may not look as sharp and attractive as they are supposed to be. Often, the contractor you have in charge of renewing your property is the one that is also in charge of leveling. But this can be a mistake. Concrete may be one of the most durable materials we have, but it has to be installed correctly. That is why so many people contact us at Colorado Concrete Repair for professional leveling services. What This Looks Like Below are some photos of what poor leveling can look like. And here is what it looks like after we’ve flattened out the high spots. We find what areas need flattening out, and we set […]

One of the reasons that concrete is considered such a versatile flooring option is that it can mimic other forms of flooring while still maintaining the advantages of concrete. Concrete can be made to look like wood, like tile, like stone – almost every type of flooring except for carpet. There is no better example of this than the way concrete can be designed to look like terrazzo, one of the most popular styles of a terrazzo floor and interior wall décor available. What is Terrazzo Flooring? Terrazzo is a world-famous flooring method with origins in 16th century Italy. Sitting on a considerable amount of excess marble and stone cuts, designers in Renaissance Italy placed the marble in cement and ground it by hand. It eventually created a very unique style of flooring that remains popular even today: A genuine terrazzo floor is rarely used in today’s construction. But a terrazzo floor style tile is still extremely popular, used in everything from mid-century modern homes to casinos to commercial properties all throughout Colorado and the United States. Instead of creating […]
