If u engage someone to do the cement imprint floors, I dont think it is cheaper than tiles.

My friend did the floor on her own. She ordered the ready-mixed (I think can ask for color too). Her indon worker did the work for her....

but how did your friend get the imprint itself? i presume there needs to be some mat or mould to imprint the design onto the concrete right?
