Go with the flow

Opening up a house to the outdoors is probably the most common home renovation undertaken in New Zealand. And it's scarcely surprising our temperate climate is ideal for indoor-outdoor living.

To ensure a close connection between inside and out, the designers of these houses specified Peter Fell coloured concrete flooring. The concrete is not only the same shade on the interior and exterior, it is also scoured so the large flagstone look extends beyond the living areas.

Builder Warren Pointon of Town & Country Residential says the durability of Peter Fell coloured concrete flooring makes it a highly practical option. As the colour is an integral part of the concrete surfaces, it won't chip off or wear away, even in high traffic areas.

Peter Fell coloured concrete is available in a wide range of colours, including terracotta, sandstone and numerous other earthy tones. The system can also be used to introduce an aged look, and will work in with a variety of exposed aggregate finishes. This ensures it is just as effective for traditional, European-inspired villas as it is for contemporary architectural designs.

The Peter Fell system is not limited to flooring, patios, paths and driveways it can also be used wherever concrete features around the home. It frequently appears on hearths, island benchtops and vanity tops.
