I've built a huge concrete dining table (same method as counter tops). It's a pain to seal it as it needs some prep and then plenty of coats of wax (3+).
You get marks from heat (to the wax), or wine spillages (through the wax). If you sponge up spills quickly then it's meant to be ok. We've embraced the marked/spilt/spoilt look and it's great but I'd think twice about the same approach for the floor. Perhaps concrete floor sealants are much, much better however?
We used a cheap bulk buy of Brazilian slate tiles with black grouting for our whole ground floor... similarly: hides the dirt, easy to clean and a nice contrast to comfy rug 'zones'.

Not sure where to put this but has anybody had polished concrete floors put in?
I love the way they look and they appear easy to keep clean, work well with underfloor heating etc.
Just wondering how they wear and look after a few years. Is there much maintenance involved?
Same question for concrete worktops.
