Decorative concrete from CMS pairs design with durability for retail, offices, schools, healthcare, and manufacturing show spaces across Milwaukee and Wisconsin. We install systems that deliver color, depth, and movement while standing up to foot traffic, carts, and routine cleaning. Options include metallic epoxy floors with a flowing, three dimensional look, acid stained concrete for natural variegation, water based dyes for vibrant custom colors, and commercial concrete stains with protective sealers for high use corridors and lobbies.
A successful finish begins with proper surface preparation. Our crews clean, repair, and profile the slab to the required ICRI concrete surface profile so stains, dyes, microtoppings, and resinous coatings bond as intended. Moisture and pH testing is performed when specified, and epoxy vapor barriers are available for slabs with elevated readings. Edges, joints, and transitions are detailed so color is consistent and wear resistance is uniform from wall to wall.
Performance and safety are always considered. Clear urethane or polyaspartic topcoats improve abrasion and chemical resistance and can include fine texture additives to reach slip resistance targets in wet areas. Where low odor is important, CMS offers low VOC materials and coordinated phasing so spaces can remain open with minimal disruption.
Your design can be subtle or bold. Metallic epoxy produces a modern, marbled effect that photographs well for brand storytelling. Dyed and stained concrete enhances existing polished concrete with translucent color and protective sealers. Flake and quartz blends add color and traction for entryways and corridors. Each system is customized to the palette, light levels, maintenance plan, and budget of your facility.
Based in Milwaukee, CMS delivers decorative concrete flooring across Wisconsin and the Upper Midwest. Share your drawings, inspiration images, or RFP and we will recommend a decorative concrete system that fits your schedule and performance needs while elevating the look of your space.
