BETON© gives you some advice before selecting your shade:

1. THE SIZE OF YOUR ROOM
The size of your room is the first thing to take into account when choosing your waxed concrete shade. Dark waxed concrete will visually reduce the size of your room, unlike light or neutral waxed concrete, which will give it greater visual amplitude.

Play with optical effects to give an impression of spaciousness.

2. ROOM BRIGHTNESS
Consider the natural light in your room before settling on a shade you love. You can opt for a dark shade if your room is exposed to the sun all day, but if your room does not receive sunlight, opt for a soft and less saturated shade.

BETON© advises you to use warm LED bulbs to intensify the heat of the waxed concrete. Cold LEDs to soften the color of your waxed concrete and white lights to perfect the colors of the waxed concrete.

3. THE ENVIRONMENT
Adapt the color of your waxed concrete according to the environment of your room if you want a coating in one room only.

For a bedroom, choose a soft and warm shade to make it a haven of peace.
For an office, a waxed concrete shade that won't let you doze off.
For a games room, a bright and intense shade will be preferable.

If the waxed concrete coating is applied in all your rooms, opt for full monochrome waxed concrete. It will give you a feeling of vastness and continuity through all your rooms. In this case, choose your color according to the style and atmosphere you want to give to your home.

4. 3 COLOR RULE
To avoid taking any risks, decoration professionals advise us to respect the rule of 3 colors.
A dominant color, which will be in the largest proportion of your decor (60%).
A complementary color, which you will integrate in smaller proportions (30%).
An "accent" color that will be applied by any small touch (10%).

Maintain your concrete coverings with the special waxed concrete floor cleaner.

On an interior floor and in common use , we invite you to vacuum your surface, clean then rinse with water.

On an exterior floor , vacuum or sweep your coating. Rinse with water then scrub with a brush broom. You can use a high pressure cleaner with a maximum power of 150 bar, make sure to keep a distance of at least 3 cm from the nozzle to the surface.

On a work surface and in a shower use the multi-purpose cleaner and degreaser
to remove soaps and greases. Dilute the cleanser by 1 to 2% then rinse with clear water.

Yes, waxed concrete is renovated every 4 to 7 years depending on wear for an interior floor, every 1 year or 2 for an exterior floor. Over time, the finishing coats become thinner and your floor becomes porous. This is when you need to plan for a renovation of the finishing coats.

A few tips :

In case of stain, immediately absorb the product then clean with clear water.
Do not place any hot object directly on your waxed concrete surfaces. For example, use trivets for your pots and hot dishes.
Standing water should be avoided . Do not leave your bottles in the shower, nor flower pots with saucers filled with water on your polished concrete floors.

As a general rule, the doors are placed 5mm from the floor.
Your waxed concrete coating does not exceed 2mm, the margin between the two is sufficient not to plan the doors.

Yes, you can choose several colors of waxed concrete on the same surface. The project must be well put together or, on the other hand, you can give free rein to our imagination to create an artistic painting with the colors you have selected.

The price varies depending on many factors.
We must familiarize ourselves with the project to establish a tailor-made quote for you.

Scratches and micro scratches from wear can be repaired or renovated but to anticipate this situation, do not cut directly on the coating , do not rub with abrasive objects (such as steel wool, sandpaper, stripping sponge).

We advise you to protect your waxed concrete on the ground by equipping your furniture and chairs with skates and not to move them by dragging them on the ground. For your wheelchair, place it on a carpet. Finally, place a doormat at the entrance to your house or store to avoid keeping small pebbles under your shoes.

After applying the varnish, it is important to ventilate the room to let the humidity escape and the varnish to dry properly. You will be able to set up your furniture and carpets from D+7 of the varnish coat.
