Floor looks good, I like the look. Butttt why in the world didn't you pull the baseboards up, do your concrete floor and then put the base back in? Way better finished look.
It was nice you left a little gift for the future owner by not taking out the cabinet. Oh honey look they just poured around this now we have a hole in our floor.
Agreed - this is a sloppy install in that sense, only done for the current homeowner with no notion of future re-sale value. Anyone who buys this home in the future and decides to renovate will have a nightmare on their hands ... the baseboards and the cabinetry are below-grade. So you can’t replace them easily. And if you do rip them out, you now have massive gaps in your flooring. That’s just a terrible long-term idea. Given the amount of effort put forward for this overlay, it’s not that much extra work to rip out the baseboards and cabinetry. I feel terrible for whomever buys this home in the future. Surprise!
I have heated floors, but I hate the tile, they have small holes that make sweeping dust out of the kitchen a headache, the floor never feels clean, because these small holes traps dust. Can this product be used to cover my floor?
How thick you add on to the tile surface? I can see that there are still tiles on the hall way. Can you level the new floor with the existing tile floor?
This pour was 3/8" thick over the tile. The only way to level this new floor with the other tile is to rip out that tile in the room that we poured. We ended up pouring over the floor in the hallway as well so thats why we weren't worried about that.
Thank you for your response. I would like to do this in my existing bathroom/shower old tiled floor, is that possible? Do you have the products for shower wall? Can I get this products in Australia?
Better hope your subfloors aren't weakened and never get any rotted panels. Bad sections of floor are a common problem in manufactured homes, at least in humid areas - and having to chop through concrete to lay down a new board will make it a giant job!
So u put the blue tape on for the cement then u put the red on top of blue !! So wouldn't the blue tape be 1/4 into the concrete how do u remove it and not tear up the edges ??
Spiked Shoes ... whenever you install epoxy, you wear special “sandal”-like spiked platform shoes that wrap around your normal workboot. Given that each spike is like a small needle, the second an entire shoe steps out of the wet epoxy, the spikes don’t leave a single trace.
I know it didn't look like it but that was the "finished" result. I like polished concrete floors and would not do this based on the look of the finished product.
Craft men of the old world quality with new world technology. 100 mph wind and blizard in newfounland today. You were great to occupy the mind as the house shakes. Love from canada. Remember to vote.
Perfectly good tiles covered over with red goop...mesh...and idiot cement...why not just burn your money...at least some warmth is created instead of this absurd venture!
@@redmusichouse im from cali, yes i know what vocal fry is 😉 i dont think you know what is it, if that's the sound you think he was making. Lol - i recommend getting new speakers
@@ec339 based on what you just typed, YOU obviously have no idea what vocal fry is; and for your information, I'm listening on $2000 reference monitor speakers. Total face palm. Run along, you troll.
Can that stuff be used over plywood subfloors ? We have 6 dogs and live in a house that may soon have to be a rental house. So, we are looking for inexpensive flooring. Will this work and if not would you have any suggestions ? Thx very much !
Like what they call luxury vinyl plank flooring ? We looked at that but it was about $2/sq ft. If we do it ourselves. We were hoping we could find something less expensive but perhaps that is about as inexpensive as we are going to get for something decent.
@@bananapatch9118 2$ a sq. Ft is not bad price and you can do it yourself. I do self leveling floors also and you better know what you are doing! 😲 The video dose not talk about maintenance of the floor and resurfacing it when needed.
We have a similar self leveling floor put into our restaurant (2 plus years ago) and there is little to no maintenance required. It is much better than the tile we had when the place was built.
Great video! Thanks ElastoCrete for recommending the Makinex Mixing Station for mixing self levelling compounds. For those of you who would like to know more about this product, check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-phEkaCJC_EI.html
What is it with youtubers and their stupid music. LOSE THE MUSIC. Seriously. Other than that an informative video but painful to watch and gave me a headache.
Looks not bad, but what if I don’t like it and want to remove it, that is going to be a big deal! I can’t just keep adding tiles on the top, right? You guys were already add this on the top of the existing tiles.
I am going to do a curb less shower with concrete floor and walls, but also the rest of the bathroom will have concrete floors. Would your product hold up to that environment and would it stay water proof?
never thought of using a blower to help even out a self leveler, Ill try it next time to see how it works. I use the wire roller from Rapid Set after gauge raking and it does a really good job of leveling off any high spots and release any entrapped air but will leave an orange peel type finish which I dont like. I like your idea of mixing the two separate colored batches to get a mottled look.
I have a question guys: I am moving into a house with polished concrete flooring. it is still under construction and there are these marks in the attached pic. imgur.com/a/A5s7Jek What should I say to my contractor? do they need to grind again? what is the solution Thanks
Well I don’t get it ? This new cement floor is the same color of my basements,and I don’t like it and I’m already purchase the epoxy kit for this new beautiful marble floor which I only spend like $400 dls And I’m going to do the work my self in one day,about this job why not just remove the ceramic floor and then polish the cement then finish the cement floor with a high gloss sealer,It would be much cheaper and less work,is my opinion without offending anyone,good luck.....
I'm wondering the same thing, but tearing out ceramic tile is expensive and a huge dirty Job. I have been looking at homes in the desert and every once in a while, a home will have 3 or 4 Different types and colors of tile in it
I would say if the tile is in good shape and is on a good and solid substrate there isn't any real reason to pull it up. Just understand the density of terracotta or ceramic isn't quite the same as these high performance concretes. Therefore if something gets dropped on the floor and it is very hard it could damage the floor easier than it would of if you had removed all of it and finished the concrete that is there.
yeah, a lot of work and expensive material for nothing, they could just do a light grinding and apply a primer before pooring a 5mm thick leveling concrete (fine sand + cement) or glue new tiles on it.
Thanks, just sent email--I love the process and professional care your team takes in the video. I can only hope the people in Phoenix are equally as diligent.
I'm trying to find out what this process is called, but over here in the UK. This is exactly the job I need done but I'm strugling to find anyone that does it here.
yeah I totally realise that. was kinda commenting out of desperation as I couldn't find someone who did it where I live haha. not sure what to even search for!
Is that by any chance polyurethane flooring? There's a great product in Europe called "Ucrete" very resistant and insanely tough. Give that a shot, but it is expensive.
So, I have a concrete floor in Costa Rica that was poorly sealed and cured, I want this look. I don't need the mesh, just the effect. The concrete finish on the floor is a sort of a stucco (they call it "paint" but it's a powder) they mix, trowel, then sponge it in irregular circles to a sort of a soapstone or slate looking varied surface finish. Could we use this product and is it something we could bring and mix there? Costa Rica has a really limited selection of supplies.
With our system you always want to use the mesh. But yes, we are usually able to ship overseas. Email me at jay@elastocrete.com and I can send you more info, thx.
Hi , you may take a look at my facebook page, ConcretosyEpoxicos , we work with similar floor systems here in Costa Rica, under the company Elite Crete Systems a U.S.A. company.
