< Hi,
< We recently faced the same questions concerning our cement floor finishing < here's what we found. < < Oringinal Plan: was for stamped and pigmented (color added at the cement plant) < with stained accents and highlighting to simulate a sautillo tile. Our project < is rather large 2900 sq ft SB house with 1800 sq ft porch surrounding it. Lot's < of cement approx. 160 sq yds. After looking at the costs we changed our minds < rather quickly. < < Labor for Stamping Crew $2500.00 < Davis Color Stain 4lbs per yd x 100 yds x $18 lb $7200.00 < < These are above and beyond the cost of the concrete. < < Actual Result: Took a truck and trailer to Mexico and handpicked Sautillo tiles < for inside the house. Changed the color of the cement on the porch to 1lb per yd < mix color, added the overrun tiles we had left over as stringers in the porch < and accented with acid etched stain. < < Tiles and Transportation $3000.00 < Labor, mastic and beer. tile setting (did it myself) $1400.00 < Acid Stain for porch $ 350.00 < Davis Pigment $15 x 40 yds $ 600.00 < < I can get you the info on the stain if you like, I ordered it from a company the < web, can't remember off hand who. I ordered a sample kit for $35.00 which has 7 < colors you can mix and match for the results you want. It was easy to work with < much like painting in water colors on a large scale. < < Hope this helps you out, < < Matt Kizziah <
