Not sure where the home is located, I think concrete floors are a great choice for homes in warmer climates, the lime color would be neat.. but may not be attractive to many if thinking about re-selling home anytime in the future.. usually rusty tones or grays tend to be more neutral.

I think that is more about what you like, concrete usually denotes a more modern feel, almost industrial if that is your style do concrete if not find a tile you love and do that.

Hi, I am building a house and would like to go for the polished concrete flooring. Appreciate if netizens can advise the process/procedure for laying the concrete and different stages of polishing, any specific additives/hardeners required, grades of discs to be used for polishing etc etc. Cheers

Hi Mr. Nitin, I am working as a Technical Sales engineer in one of Indian leading Acoustic Company. Everyday I receive minimum three calls for the same problems which you stated here. There two types of Sound transfer First is through Air borne like person Voice, speaker, sound horn. Second is through Structures like person knocking the door, neighbour people jumping the floor, elevator noise, etc. Yours problem comes under second type. This problem in ceiling concrete floor occurs due to lower steel usage and thickness of the concrete. The exact solution for this problem is to install the acoustic underlayment GETZNER AFM 23 under the Flooring tiles, which is specially designed for this kind of issue. But, it should be done during the construction stage of the building only. It can not be done after construction. If you use Acoustic panels and ceiling tiles, this products will reduce only the noise transferred though Air borne. So there is no solution reduction of this structural borne noise currently. Please don't spend your precious money in Acoustic Ceiling tiles or Wall Panels. Best regards, Bala Vishnu Murugesan
