Also perfect for various other applications including kitchens, conservatories, utility rooms, hallways, porches, and fireplace hearths also can be used for paths and patios. These products are the ideal alternative to reclaimed flooring materials which are now becoming hard to locate and very expensive. The Antique Style Flooring Centre is a small independent family run company that has been established since 1985. My name is Chris Keseru and I am the sole proprietor. I started up running the business with the help of Margaret Thatcher’s enterprise allowance scheme and started manufacturing concrete products, mainly paving and patio slabs with great success. In 1996 after an informal chat with a builder friend over a pint down the local pub when we were discussing the scarcity and exorbitant price of reclaim floor pamments, (a Suffolk colloquial term for a floor tile) an idea came to mind to try and reproduce them in concrete. Concrete is a versatile and durable product consisting of purely natural elements, including cement and comes from the Latin word concretus†(meaning compact or condensed) and is used more than any other man-made material in the world, archaeological evidence has revealed that the Romans used cement, (a mixture of burnt lime, volcanic ash and crushed brick to obtain a hydraulic setting binder) to create concrete to produce tiled floors.
