What led you to your decision to install Betonepox® polished plaster on your floors?

My wife and I were in search of a flooring option that emulated the look of concrete without visible joints. Additionally, we desired a surface that efficiently conducted heat due to the electric underfloor heating system installed throughout our home. Opting against traditional tiles, we found our solution in polished plaster. After a quick search on Google and a visit to the showroom, the decision was clear.

What type of flooring did you have in your house originally?

It was a complete renovation, requiring us to replace floating floors, tiles, and boldly colored carpets throughout the house.

Were you satisfied with the polished plaster installation process and the communication with the Němec company?

We were very satisfied. I scheduled a meeting over the phone, where a friendly representative guided us through the showroom, and I later discussed all technical details with her colleague. The technician arrived to take measurements the same week, and I received the quote within 2 days. After placing the order, we waited for about 5 weeks for the actual installation.

You've had the polished plasters on your floors for three years now. How pleased are you with the resilience of Betonepox® against damage, stains, or wear and tear after three years of use?

We have two young children, so our floors have endured a lot right from the start – from toy trucks zooming back and forth to the constant shuffling of tables and chairs. Occasionally some smudges of cream on the walls, crayons, watercolors or spilled wine.

Here, I must say, Betonepox® has truly impressed us. It cleans up beautifully, with the only hiccup being some stubborn marks from the children's markers from IKEA. Fortunately, a technician from the Němec company was able to resolve that issue promptly. Aside from that, Betonepox® has proven easy to maintain.

In terms of warmth, Betonepox® does an excellent job of conducting heat. Within just 10 minutes of turning on the heating, you can feel the difference. I initially worried about potential cracking after the first heating season, but I'm happy to report that hasn't been an issue. Subsequent seasons have been just as trouble-free.
