Hello
After completing the screed, we are considering installing a so-called skim coat floor with a concrete look. Unfortunately, there are not many providers, and if there are, they tend to be extremely expensive. If anyone knows of alternatives, companies that offer a good price-performance ratio, or if it’s okay to do it “yourself” with guidance and instructions, I would be grateful for any advice. Rooms and a bathroom are to be done. Maybe someone here has taken on this task themselves. I understand that there are many things to consider.

What makes this floor so expensive, please?
Serious question. Well... as I said, my wife picked it out. I also really like it, and the workmanship is excellent. The material price is 100 €/sqm (about 9.30 USD per sq ft), and the tiles—if I remember correctly—come from Italy. That doesn’t necessarily mean much...
Maybe it’s because it’s from a small, regional specialist company. You can get meat at Lidl, Aldi, or other places, but also at your local rural farm market.
I have no idea if it would have been cheaper elsewhere... 🙂
