Concrete Floor Installation

Floor screeding is the crucial first step in concrete floor installation. We carefully prepare the base surface by removing any debris, dust, or uneven spots. This creates a clean foundation for the concrete to adhere properly.

Our team uses specialized screeding equipment to ensure an even distribution of the screed material. We can apply traditional sand and cement screeds or modern quick-drying varieties depending on your project needs.

The thickness of the screed layer varies based on your specific requirements - typically between 50mm to 75mm for bonded screeds. We pay special attention to proper drying times, as rushing this step can lead to cracks or surface issues later.

We employ various concrete pouring techniques tailored to your specific project requirements. Our team carefully calculates the right concrete mix ratio for durability and strength based on the floor's intended use. For larger areas, we use power trowels and specialized equipment to ensure consistent spreading and compaction. This prevents air pockets and creates a smooth, durable surface.

The timing of concrete pouring is critical. We monitor weather conditions and temperature to determine the optimal pouring schedule. Temperature control during curing prevents cracking and ensures proper hardening. Our installers use control joints strategically to direct inevitable cracking along predetermined lines, keeping your floor looking clean and intentional rather than damaged.

Self-leveling compounds and overlays are perfect solutions for uneven floors or refreshing existing concrete surfaces. We apply these specialized products to create perfectly level surfaces with minimal thickness - often just 1/4 inch. Our overlay options include:

• Decorative overlays with color options
• Stamped concrete patterns
• Smooth finishes for modern looks
• Textured surfaces for slip resistance

Self-leveling applications require precise mixing and quick work. Our experienced team handles this efficiently, creating flowing applications that seek their own level automatically.

Overlays are ideal for renovations as they bond to existing concrete, saving you time and money compared to complete replacement. We can transform worn, cracked, or stained concrete into beautiful new surfaces in just a fraction of the time.

Polished concrete floors transform ordinary concrete into sophisticated, glossy surfaces. Our multi-step grinding process uses progressively finer diamond abrasives to achieve your desired sheen level. Polished concrete is highly sustainable as it utilizes the existing concrete slab. The densification process we use hardens the surface, making it more resistant to stains and abrasion. Our polishing services include decorative scoring, staining, and dye applications to enhance the visual appeal of your floors.

Concrete staining is one of our most popular services at Las Vegas Flooring Company. We apply high-quality acid or water-based stains that penetrate the concrete surface, creating rich, translucent tones that won't fade or peel away. Our staining process highlights the natural variations in your concrete, resulting in unique marbled effects that can't be replicated with other flooring options. The colors range from subtle earth tones to vibrant blues and greens.

We can create multi-toned finishes by layering different stain colors or applying them with special techniques. This allows for truly custom looks that complement your existing décor. Stained concrete floors are particularly ideal for high-traffic areas where you want both beauty and durability.

Add dimension to your concrete floors with our pattern and texturing options. We use specialized stamps and tools to create patterns that mimic natural materials like stone, brick, or wood at a fraction of the cost. We can combine stamping with scoring techniques to create clean lines and defined sections in your concrete. This works wonderfully for creating borders or separating spaces in open floor plans. Our experienced team ensures precise pattern alignment and consistent texture depth across your entire floor surface.

Concrete cracks happen for various reasons including settling, temperature changes, or excessive weight. At Las Vegas Flooring Company, we identify the root cause of damage before beginning repairs. Our concrete floor repair process starts with a thorough assessment of the affected areas. For hairline cracks, we use specialized epoxy fillers that bond seamlessly with existing concrete. Larger cracks or spalling areas require more intensive treatments. We employ concrete grinding to level uneven surfaces and prepare them for repair compounds.

We also address more serious structural issues that might compromise floor integrity. Our repair techniques match your floor's original finish and color, making repairs virtually invisible. Don't wait until small cracks become major problems. Early intervention prevents moisture infiltration that can lead to more extensive damage.

Concrete sealing protects your floors from stains, moisture, and chemical damage. We offer various sealant options based on your specific needs and floor location. For high-traffic commercial areas, we recommend industrial-grade polyurethane or epoxy sealants that withstand heavy use and chemical exposure. These create a protective barrier that prevents oil, grease, and other contaminants from penetrating the concrete.

Basement and garage floors benefit from waterproofing treatments that block moisture migration. Our penetrating sealers bond with the concrete at a molecular level for long-lasting protection. We can also apply decorative sealants that enhance your floor's color while providing protection. Most sealed floors should be resealed every 2-5 years depending on traffic and exposure conditions.

Daily maintenance keeps concrete floors looking their best between professional services. Sweep regularly to remove abrasive particles that can scratch sealed surfaces. For commercial spaces, we recommend scheduled maintenance programs that include periodic deep cleaning and inspection. These help identify potential issues before they require extensive repairs. Heavy-use areas may need more frequent professional cleaning to remove embedded dirt and restore surface shine. We offer customized maintenance plans that fit your specific needs and budget while maximizing the lifespan of your concrete floors.
