Granicrete Products, Anyone?


Although this site covers various aspects of home improvement, it is beneficial to be aware of existing home improvement solutions to the home owner. One such solution is those provided by Granicrete International.


Granicrete International is an organisation that provides innovative proprietory synthetic concrete solutions to various components of your home as well as office. These generally include flooring, countertop surfacing, shower, garage, BBQ and of course the ever popular lightweight concrete systems.


On their site brochure (for example) is a description for their flooring system:


"Granicrete’s Alternative Floor System has been time tested for over 12 years in the harshest of conditions including freeze-thaw, high salt, high humidity, and arid conditions. The proprietary formulas used for our modified synthetic concrete overlay system were acquired by Granicrete in 2006. Impressed by the durability of that system and the highly authentic stone finishes it had always achieved, Granicrete found the Alternative Flooring System to perfectly compliment the Countertop system.


Our Alternative Floor System is designed to go over wood or concrete and because of its light weight it can be used for upstairs flooring without the need for foundation reinforcement. The high-end look for stone, travertine, flagstone, and slate commonly asked for. We even have the ability to provide the look for wood flooring and barn-wood planks.


All of our work is done freehand using a trowel as well as being hand colored. Therefore, your work is custom. As for tile patterns and tile size, simply ask us for your most desired. There is no extra charge to provide you with tile sizes from 16” to 48” even if the contour of your floor is not level.


We seal all our custom floors to your preference from matte to high gloss finishes. Our outdoor sealers have exceptionally high UV resistance and all our sealers are designed to enhance the look and performance of your floors for decades. Our floors are easy to maintain."


In subsequent updates, we'll cover more other aspects of systems flooring solutions.
