| Decision | What to review |
|---|---|
| Appearance | Color, pattern, visual movement, and sheen in your room’s light. |
| Texture | How the surface fits footwear, wet conditions, and cleaning. |
| Coating system | Products and layers selected for concrete condition and actual use. |
| Care | Approved cleaners, equipment, and your ongoing routine. |
Review physical samples before a final selection. Screen settings and room lighting can change how a color appears.
