If you love to spend most of the year enjoying your heated indoor patio, you may do all you can to make the room feel more comfortable for your family. You may even resurface your patio's concrete floor. But if you don't want to use the same type of concrete to resurface your patio's floor, you might leave the room alone. You can resurface your patio's floor with decorative concrete. Learn more about decorative concrete and how to resurface your patio's floor with it below.

What Are the Benefits of Decorative Concrete?

Decorative concrete is a special coating or material placed over existing concrete floors, walls, and other structures. The coating overlays, or covers, imperfections of all kinds, including scratches, skid marks, and stains.

Decorative concrete also looks vastly different from traditional concrete. Traditional concrete takes on a gray or grayish-white appearance after it dries. Decorative concrete comes in many colors and hues, including brown, taupe, and white marble. Homeowners can use the different colors to match or highlight the existing color schemes and ideas in their patios, living rooms, and garages.

Decorative concrete can also mimic tile, hardwood flooring, and other materials. Homeowners who want to make their patio floors appear more natural generally choose decorative concrete that looks like tile or hardwood flooring.  

If you think decorative concrete will make your indoor patio look better, consult a resurfacing contractor today. 

How Do You Resurface Your Patio's Floor?

A contractor will most likely need to inspect your patio's floor before they resurface it. If the concrete contains long or large cracks in it, a contractor may suggest you repair them prior to resurfacing the floor. The defects may make it harder for the overlay material to dry properly after installation.

If your patio's floor looks okay, a contractor will help you select the right decorative concrete for it. You can take the time to choose the color, style, or patterns for your concrete. If needed, browse a decorative concrete style guide to help you choose the right concrete for your floor. 

After you choose the right decorative concrete for your patio's floor, a contractor will prepare the room for resurfacing. You can make a contractor's job easier by removing everything out of the room, including your patio chairs, planters, and tables. If you have questions about preparing your patio for resurfacing, speak to a contractor right away.
