Adam & Tracy … almost any slab of concrete should have a minimum thickness of 4″ (and I know nothing that would indicate otherwise) … all the best but being on the first floor in a condo, the hope would be you already have the concrete and would just need to do the staining. cheers.

My wife and I are considering pulling the carpet and tile in our first floor condo and putting in a stained concrete floor. We have heard all different responses to our question of: How thick the concrete should be? Answers range from 1/2-inch to 4 inches.

Please help!

A smaller number makes sense because 1) It’s residential not industrial and 2) You have to allow for the doors.

Whatever light you can shed on this will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

A & T
