Re: Interior brick paver flooring?

I'm sure the application has been modified for interiors.  Or the product is manufactured differently.

Re: Interior brick paver flooring?

We had it in the entry of our last house.  It is a pain and it is a 1980's country look (like with duck wallpaper boarders in the kitchen  and navy blue and mauve countertops).  I hated it because it was rough on your feet, and hard to keep clean, plus it looked dark and sort of grungy.  If you put a top coat on it it is shiny, which I don't like either.

 

I wouldn't recommend it.  We looked at a beautiful house that had it in the kitchen and dining area off the kitchen, and I walked away from buying the house because of it.  It makes a floor look really busy and calls attention to itself.  If it is red brick color, it also clashes with a lot of colors you might want to use. 

 

Maybe it's just me, but not at all my cup of tea.

My husband is a brick layer and he would tell you "don't do it."

 

We built our house -- it is all brick -- but inside, on the floors?

 

Never.  For all the reasons others mentioned.

@Alicew

I saw this kitchen and I thought of you, with the look of bricks.

 

 

What do you think of it?

Re: Interior brick paver flooring?

@Alicew  I have seen this done and done well but it requires a lot of maintaining and especially if in a kitchen or dining area.

 

Also, one has to be really careful with moving dining chairs about as the chairs and the floor will be damaged if not treated very carefully. People usually do not place area rugs over this kind of treatment.
