| Accentuating the atmosphere of an
old-fashioned Mexican cantina, the 4,000-sq.-ft. floor
was completed in five
days using 4,000 psi concrete placed in the normal manner,
screeded, bull floated, and edged. A dry-shake color
hardener was cast over the slab at a rate of 50 lbs.
per 100 sq. ft. The color was then floated and finished.
Expansion joints were cut to ACI standards after drying
of the concrete. Two coats of Earth acid stain were applied,
followed by Seal Hard and a coat of 14 percent acrylic
sealer. An Iguana template was used in sandblasting the
pattern over the floor's surface. Acid stain was applied
to the sandblasted iguanas, in addition to a last coat
of acrylic sealer after drying of the pavement. |
