Artistic Flooring Systems
Birmingham, MI
For the second year in a row, the Grand Prize from Scofield's Decorative Concrete Awards was given to Lou DeCillis of Artistic Flooring Systems of West Bloomfield, MI. for his innovative use of stain work on the floor for Lido Gallery and Gifts. Even though this wasn't a large job (the lobby and reception area for a new art gallery), the owner wanted a very dramatic and stunning floor. "Art on the floor," was the way DeCillis described it.
Described as "an impressionist painting on concrete" the floor was created with a combination of LITHOCHROME® Chemstain® Classic, LITHOCHROME® Tintura™ Stain and SCOFIELD® Formula One™ Liquid Dye Concentrate, then sealed with SCOFIELD® Selectseal-S™. Departing from the "graphic design" look of most decorative concrete artisans, DeCillis used the colors in a loose, painterly fashion, creating a floor that is as much a work of art as the pieces that the gallery houses.

Staintec
Rancho Cucamonga, CA
In Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., this damaged, existing concrete floor was poorly finished, and caused Staintec owner, Glen Roman, to reconsider even taking on the job. At EJI’s Corner Shop/Candy Bouquet, owners Chito and Emily Alcantara wanted to improve the look of their concrete floor on a budget. To add a touch of design to the floor, Roman and co-op installer Marty Meewis of Colors on Concrete, created a circular pattern mirroring the circular track of lights above. The floor was colored with Concrete Coatings Mahogany stain. The circular area was colored with an Amber border, a Walnut ring, and then was faux-finished on the inside with Amber and a heavy cast of ironite, and a diluted mixture of Mahogany. Seal Tech 25 was applied and then the entire floor was given six coats of a wax finish. The project size was 2,300 square feet. Average cost: $3 square foot.
