At the 2009 Parade of Homes this year we used a product in the garage known as diamond concrete polishing. There is a fantastic company here in San Antonio called K Stone www.kstoneinc.com . Rick, the owner has a crew that will come in and use progressively lighter abrasion wheels to finish the color to a mirror-like finish. This is quite different than acid-stain concrete applications that you may be use to. In the past, companies such as Bass Pro Shop and HEB have utilized products like this because it is very low maintenance and friendly on the budget when compared to tile or wood options. It is also becoming more and more mainstream in general living areas of the home. The price point is around $6 per square foot and can go up from there, which is a little higher than traditional acid stain. However, the long term maintenance costs are quite less. As stained concrete becomes more accepted in residential construction, it is a great option to consider when planning a flooring surface for your next home.
