Red Mountain Light Is the Reason Polished Floors Work Here
Late afternoon in Ivins, the cliffs throw a warm red light straight through west-facing glass. Polished concrete floors pick that up and spread it across a room instead of swallowing it the way carpet or dark tile does. Kayenta homes in particular were built around that effect, and a satin polish reads far more natural in them than a high-gloss coating ever will.
We can dye the slab warm or cool depending on the stone and stucco already on the house. As a decorative polished concrete contractor we also cut panel lines where a long open floor needs some visual break. Concrete polishing Ivins architects specify usually leans matte for exactly this reason: less glare off the glass at sunset.
