New Floor Covering Available
Poured or canned floors are a new type of
surfacing material sometimes described as per
manent floor coverings. The covering is ac
tually poured or rolled on a floor in a series
of steps. Usually, this type of floor is installed
by professional floor men, but some brands
may be bought in a kit form for the do-it-your
self homeowner. While primarily intended for
floors, this new type of surface covering can
also be used for table tops, counter tops, and
walls. There are advantages and disadvantages
you need to consider.

Some advantages are:
