In this beautiful modern home, concrete floors are used as the  finished flooring surface.  Installed with radiant heat tubing in the slab, the concrete floor acts as a “thermal battery” in the home, storing heat to consistently release even temperatures in the winter and offering a refreshingly cool surface in the summer months.

These floors were finished by Jon Meade from Portland, Maine,  http://www.jonmeadedesign.com.  The finishing process included multiple levels of grinding, an acetone stain and then a final polish.  The result is a surprisingly luxurious floor…  in both look and feel.
