This is the belief behind what makes Floor Seasons happens. Behind this company stands one artist with a
dream. As the only certified in Las Vegas, Cary Grant, owner and artist, has a resume and work history that
would make the ordinary man squirm in his seat to be in the presence of such a dedicated person.
Stores and boutiques at Lake Las Vegas boast his artistic floors, along with Kreiss Furniture show room, Ellis Island,
Malibu Chan's, Ligne Roset, and that barely starts the list of commercial references. With new projects approaching
such as the street of dreams and the "Home of America", Floor Seasons has come a long way in its two-year legacy.
"Concrete staining is not just a fad," says Cary Grant, "you' ll see that it will be around permanently." He means this
very literally, as the process is permanent. Artistic concrete staining is a unique process involving a chemical reaction
between an acid stain and the concrete slab. There are many colors offered on Floor Seasons color palette, and can be
mixed and matched to create some of the most unique floor canvases. When the stain is applies to the concrete is turns
into a luxurious floor resembling marble or glazed stone.
To compare staining to tile and carpet, staining your floor is a fraction of the maintenance of with of the other choices. The
floor will never wear and with a once-a-year wax application the stained concrete will never lose its luster. Eventhough it
is permanent, everything needs a little T.L.C. Other than the wax, just sweep, or mop, and go! Carpets need to be
replaced, get stained, absorb unwanted odors, and tile can break, the grout gets dingy, and will eventually need to be
replaced as your styles change. The stained concrete floor is a lasting work of art.
Stained concrete is not just a pretty addition you add to your driveway or garage anymore. Stained concrete is evolving
and growing into a piece of you residence, office, business, exterior or interior environments. It is a floor that gets noticed
and adds that certain touch of class, again, with low maintenance.
The concept of staining concrete comes from the reaction of the stain with the minerals already in the concrete. Each
concrete slab accepts and reacts to the stain in varying degrees, giving it the look of marble and the feel of natural stone.
Through experience and inquisitive practice, Floor Seasons, Inc., has developed many new concepts of making other
unique and creative effects. Such as adding miracle grow or ironite to add a greenish-blue oily look.
Whether working to achieve a southwestern, contemporary, art-deco, Tuscany, neo-classic, or strictly traditional artistic
concrete staining adapts to enhance any setting ad décor. Floor Seasons is there ready to work with the clients individual
ideas and needs.
