I flew this year to vacation for the Holidays and went through 3 different airports. I must say they all have done really well trying to make the passenger as comfortable as can be. I was most impressed with 2 different airports. Ft. Lauderdale, which has beautiful Terrazzo work in it. Shining and clean with sea life mosaics put into the work. Yes a work of art no doubt. When I returned however I stopped to see friends and family induring my connecting flight, I saw some beautiful decorative concrete in 2 of my connecting flights. Using the already foundations floors that the building had, the designers of the airport used that plain concrete to cut designs to make it look like tile, added color, which gave it a variegated look. From subtle browns to bright blues and reds, I saw concrete design being used in those air ports.
To understand why I know so much about this is to know that a good friend of mine owns a company that does restoration work with Terrazzo, another beautiful flooring service along with other natural stone such as marble,granite and even the new design trend concrete!. The company actually does all types of cleaning, polishing on natural stones, such as marble tile or slab, granite, and repairs and acid stains and colors concrete. So I took some pictures and preceeded to go to visit my family and friends.
Just happens I am so excited about my vacation and what I saw on some of the airports floors I am showing off the pictures at the party that night and my friend told me he had a property he was selling and pulled up the carpets. I told him to look into concrete acid staining. I showed him the airport pictures, but also show him some of my friends company’s pictures of Acid staining concrete foundation floors, and depending upon the look you wanted to achieve, color and texture could be placed on his concrete, or just repairing and adding a densifier and sealer with polishing could be done. Acid stain reacts to the concrete’s specific make up and creates a unique finish to the floor. I couldn’t recommend Colonial Floor Care, as they only service Palm Beach, Broward and Miami/Dade County. However, I would highly recommend them to anyone who would like to discuss and look into the possibilities of turning that usual concrete we see every day, and transform it to the color and design of your choosing. Call Colonial Floor Care to day for all your concrete and natural stone needs. 954-566-4555
