Light-colored concrete floor

10 years ago

Hello,
I am planning to use a self-leveling product over an existing concrete floor and I am hoping to get the look of the photo below -- fairly matte, ivory colored with a bit of texture. Is this something I can get from a product, or do I need to pour the floor and then paint it? Would love to avoid painting if possible.

Thanks for the help!

You need integral colored concrete with white cement instead of the usual gray to achieve a truly light concrete floor. And to get it to actually stick to what you have already will be difficult. A pro would probably just do a gypcrete flow with some rebar pegs in it to tie the two sections together. And that's who you need to call.
