A little back story before i get on about how to make a floor like this .....
My twins have been old enough to bath themselves for a few yrs now but still like to splash water and not clean up after themselves and we ended up getting a rotten spot in the floor under the toilet that i had to cut out and repair
once that was done i needed a cheap way to cover the floor that was durable yet elegant ,and that was when I learned about the forever floor.
items needed:
roll shingling
liquid nails or flooring adhesive
caulking gun
cheap laytex paint and rollers
start off by cutting your shingles to fit and epoxying them one at a time to the floor making sure the seams are smooth and flat i had to weigh dow an edge that wanted to curl
then do the subsequent pieces in my case i only needed two.

I don’t have pictures of the painting process because that is pretty self explanatory but I will tell you this takes several coats to lock the gravel down and build bulk.
Dor this I used miss tinted paint that our local hardware store practically gives away. Once its cured good and the texture you desire then put a top coat of good paint in whatever color or pattern you wish .
Now you wonder why its called a forever floor ? Well that is because if it ever gets damaged in any way you can cut a section out epoxy in a new piece and just re paint. here is where I had a tear around my water line that i repaired prior to painting.
I Hope you have enjoyed this brief tutorial these floors are great for bathrooms , shops, cabins, and even kitchens
