Hi everyone,
This is a followup to my post last week about Marble Tile, Thanks for
all the replies.
We are trying to get a White or Very Light color on our DR floor,
continuos without significant grout lines and such and now wonder about
topping or resurfacing the slab rather than tile. The question is, can
we get a white/light cream color? All we have seen on the web is brown
or darker, is there a white portland base that would take minimal
pigment in a resurfacing application ?
Again , any help much appreciated

G

Take a look at "acid stained concrete" (google that). I did my
driveway and it came out great. I went with an earth tone adobe look.

Yeah we are familiar with the Acid Staining but you cannot get a light
enough color for us. The existing slab is grey concrete, so this is why
we wondered about topping it with a white portland base resurfacer with
minimal tint, if there is such a product. Again , we are looking for a
nearly white floor..

Thanks
