Decorative Screeds & Stone Carpet in Cape Town
Choose a finish that works with the rest of your space. Our decorative options include colour screeds, Cretecote finishes and stone carpet, with the final system and appearance agreed around your project.
In short
Decorative finishes include colour screeds, Cretecote screeds and stone carpet. We install these in Cape Town and the Western Cape, agreeing the final system and appearance around your project. Because these finishes vary, the exact specification is confirmed against the product information for the system selected.
Options
Finishes and systems
Each option suits different spaces and appearances. Gloss level, decorative effect and slip resistance are separate considerations, not interchangeable.
Cretecote screeds
A decorative screed finish used for coloured, seamless surfaces. The exact terminology and specification are confirmed for the product selected before publication of technical detail.
Stone carpet
A resin-bound aggregate finish with a textured, decorative surface. The blend and texture are agreed around the space and how it is used.

Preparation
What we check first
Preparation is agreed before any finish is applied, because the result depends on the surface underneath.
- The existing surface is assessed for soundness and suitability for a decorative screed or stone carpet.
- The colour, aggregate blend or appearance is discussed and agreed before work starts.
- Indoor and outdoor enquiries are both welcome; suitability for a given location is confirmed against the selected system rather than assumed.
- Curing and finishing times depend on the chosen product and site conditions.

Questions
Decorative Screeds & Stone Carpet FAQs
Answers to the questions we hear most about this service.
Can I choose any colour?
Colour options depend on the system selected. We discuss the colours available for the finish you are considering and agree the appearance before work starts, so there are no surprises on site.
Is stone carpet suitable outdoors?
We do not assume outdoor suitability. Whether a system is appropriate for an outdoor area is confirmed against the specific product information for that system, and we will tell you if we cannot confirm it.
What exactly is Cretecote?
Cretecote is a decorative screed finish. We confirm the exact terminology and technical specification with the product information for the system chosen before publishing product-specific detail, and we do not imply a manufacturer relationship.
How do I maintain a decorative floor?
Care instructions depend on the system. Once the finish is agreed and installed, we provide practical care guidance suited to the surface rather than generic advice.
