concrete flooring for bathroom

mlsquared | Posted in Construction Techniques on

We are remodeling a bathroom and finally decided on a stained concrete floor. The bathroom subfloor is currently pocked concrete over which leveling compound and more concrete and then tile had lain. Would Quickcrete be sufficient for a new concrete floor? How can we keep it from cracking? Our home is built on a concrete slab, the bathroom’s square footage is approximately 87 cubic feet.

Thanks

    quickcrete- no. not enough cement to counter act the acid stain. My bathroom is acid stain concrete, and boy is it slippery when wet.

      Thanks for the info. Hadn't considered the slippery issue.
