I wanted to put it on my front and rear patios but the price was prohibitive. The porches were 15 X 25 and 10 X18. The additional expense was $2700 for the 2 pours. I think this stuff looks great, I just couldn't fit it in the budget. This was for the Cobblecrete design, kinda looks like like stone cobbles.

I do not have it in the garage, but my porch and whole house except for the bedrooms and one bathroom are finished with the colored/textured concrete. I have radiant heat and I think the floor rocks! I never would have thought to put it in the interior of the house, but I must say, it beats the hell out of carpet for cleanliness and care.

It is nice with all the snow, to not have to fret over the floor so much.

Is the color throughout the cement/mixed in at the plant? I thought it was just a powder thrown over the top of wet cement once it was poured? Can't see how it would add all that much to the cost?!?!
