Creating an Eye Popping Entry

Liquid Dazzle Floors

When you first walk into someone's home, you can't help but stop for a moment and take in your surroundings. Being a home builder and welcoming thousands of people into our homes, I must admit I'm always trying to gauge the reaction if people have a strong first impression or not. You can consider some things when thinking about an eye popping entry. Ideas might be a medallion of some sort, a cool lighting effect or beautiful flower arrangement that hopefully the kids and dog won't destroy. This picture features a product on the floor I wanted to show you. It's called Liquid Dazzle. The picture does not do it justice. This is normally a commercial product epoxy that we brought in from California. You hand trowel it down and it creates this deep, granite type of look that is truly remarkable. It's about $8/sf installed and comes in 5 gallon buckets. It does reveal fine scratches, but to me they pale to the overall effect.
