Decorative stained concrete floors

[steph96]

Our sunroom flooded during a recent storm, so we had to rip the carpet out. We were looking into doing ceramic tiles, but it is just more expensive than what we feel comfortable spending. It is very possible that this room could flood again, so I need the flooring to be able to withstand flooding.

does anyone have stained concrete floors? Is this something I can DIY or should I hire it out? How would you compare the cost to ceramic tiles? The room is only 170sf if that makes a difference.

Easy to DIY in a weekend. My ILs have done it both to new and old (like yours) concrete with good (but slightly different) results.

my sister did it in her basement in a weekend, too. she picked a corner or a closet area to practice her technique in first, then ventured into the rest of the space.

if you do it, please come back and share pix of before and after!

Do either of you know what specific products they used?

MIL said she used Cameco(sp?).

I don't have experience, but I do like the look of some stained concrete that I have seen so I wouldn't hesitate to look in to it in your situation.
