By Anita Ortega


A lot of people wants a whole new decoration. Many of us wants to redesign some parts of our home for improvement. There are different designs that we can choose from and can surely do the necessary steps to install it by ourselves. As much as possible we look for a way where we can save. Being able to redesign our homes by ourselves is a good way since paying for a laborer is somehow costly.

One of the best part to start redesigning is the floor. It is the first thing that people see once they get in. Keeping it clean and attractive is a good way of re inviting guests. Epoxy pebblestone is a must choose adornment for your floor.

This kind of floor will absolutely take away your frustration over stained and old looking flooring. What is more exciting about it is that, it is very to install. Doing it yourself will surely excite you more. There is always a different feeling when you were able to do things on your own.

Start up with cleaning your floor. When you say clean, you must make sure that there are nothing on it anymore. Even the littlest dust may affect the process of attaching the stones. They might be the reason why the pebbles can easily be detached. Simply sweep the floor with a broom then mop it up so it will completely be free of any dirt.

In case there are cracks, make sure to fix it using wood putty for wood floors and repair sealant which is injected right through the cracks for stone ones. For this step, you need to wait for 24 hours. It is important so that the repaired area will surely be perfect.

Since you are done with cleaning and repairing, get your epoxy. Take a big bucket where you can mix it without spilling. Make sure that you already have 2 epoxy primer. Whenever you buy things like that, there is always a list of instructions from the manufacturer which you should follow. Read the steps properly and o everything perfectly as much as possible.

Then, spread your mixed epoxy on your desired area. You may use a paint roller to spread it onto your floor to cover the whole surface. A one half gallon of primer can cover 100 feet floor space. It usually takes an hour to dry.

Now mix another batch of two epoxy resin with the stones. Make sure to have only 100 pounds of pebbles in each gallon of your mixture. Immediately pour the mixture on your desired area after mixing. Use a trowel to create an equal layer of stones.

Check the work you have done after 24 hours. It is normal that there are some loose pebbles. You may simply sweep them but never throw it. You can use those loose stones on your next batch of pebble flooring. After you have taken the loosed ones, you can brush it with varnish so it will look shiny and will not hurt even if you step on it barefooted.
