Is the floor is concrete, was it polished at the time of construction or was it done later as a remodel? I am planning on having concrete floors for a new home build and have been noticing the locations of joint spacing on other concrete floors.
Yes the floor is a 4" thick, radiantly-heated concrete slab, and the owners applied the 'charcoal' stain (I don't have a record of the manuf.), and sealed the floor themselves during the initial construction, after most of the construction was done. The 'control' joints were saw-cut into the floor after the concrete was set and cured for just a couple days, while it was still 'green'. Good luck with yours!
Thx for quick reply! Good information, especially regarding the saw-cuts for control joints. I believe the density of control joints (or lack of) is part of the design and finished look of the floor. I like the spacing in this photo.
