Understanding the solutions that our products provide can be somewhat confusing because quiet frankly, there are just too many options and solutions. With that said, we will start by breaking down the solutions into two categories; Exterior and Interior…
Since we have already discussed Exterior Options in an earlier post, (click here for that post) here we will focus on Interior Options and how you can use Decorative Concrete Inside your home or business for a different flooring Alternative to conventional flooring.
Interior:
– Splatter Texture Overlay: Applied approximately 1/16″ to 1/8″ thick to existing concrete to create a non-slip texture. Can be applied as plain gray or unlimited color and design choices. Patterns can replicate that of brick, stone, slate, tile, etc. Ideal for indoor pool decks, water parks, public restrooms or locker rooms where water may be present but a non-slip finish is required.
– Slate Trowel Overlay: Very similar to splatter texture overlay but typically a smoother finish.

Elite Crete Systems has entered REFLECTOR™ Enhancer Flooring Systems in the Most Innovative Products content put on by Hanley Wood for the 2010 World of Concrete exposition.
Exceeding Our Expectations… When we designed and then released the REFLECTOR Enhancer Flooring Systems over a year ago, we anticipated the new product line to be no different than any other new product release. Much to our surprise, the demand for these flooring systems absolutely exploded. In just a few months, architects had specified these new systems for commercial flooring products that originally had either acid stain, waterborne stain or dye stain in mind. Projects such as restaurants, hospitals, automobile dealerships and more were lining up to have REFLECTOR Enhancer Flooring Systems installed in place of other systems. Benefits Beyond Belief…
Although from a distance REFLECTOR Enhancer Flooring Systems might resemble the look of conventional acid stain or other staining products, up close the look is completely different. The colors are more natural and wild at the same time. Typical acid stain blemishes are not present and in their place is mottling and antiquing that simply cannot be achieved with other staining products. However, aesthetics is just the tip of the iceberg. As great looking and unique as these systems are, the real difference is the level of durability compared to other stained floors. In fact, these systems are so tough that they can withstand heavy forklift traffic. Unbelievable Ease of Use. Imagine not having to rinse or neutralize a stain. Think about how great it would be to complete a large project in 1 to 2 days instead of 3 to 4? REFLECTOR Enhancer allows this..
