Polished Concrete Floors
So you’ve heard something about polished concrete floors, or maybe the fact that some of the most high-end homes have them, but what are they all about? A floor made from polished concrete can be a great investment for both residential and commercial properties. In addition to being naturally beautiful, there are many other benefits to having this type of flooring in your home or place of business.
Who knew that a floor can be so versatile?
Concrete floors come in many different finishes, from polished to textured. The color and appearance are also customizable. You have the option to choose your finish based on what best fits you and your space, and you can customize the colors by adding pigments.
You can also alter the surface of your polished concrete floor to have just a little more texture, something which is beneficial in areas that are heavy traffic zones such as around entryways and kitchens. Polished concrete floors are easy to clean, increasing their convenience for any home or business setting. They’re water-resistant, meaning they are perfect for areas with high moisture content such as a bathroom or wet bar.
These floors are also incredibly durable, making them an excellent choice for any commercial setting. Try having your polished concrete floor installed in the kitchen of your restaurant where it will be exposed to heavy amounts of traffic and spills regularly. The longevity is sure to please.
And the most important benefit?
Polished concrete floors are incredibly energy-efficient. They require very little heating and cooling during the summer and winter months, making them a great choice for those who are eco-conscious. You will also experience much lower utility bills due to their insulating qualities. So when you’re looking to upgrade your home or place of business, keep in mind the benefits of polished concrete floors. Use them in your kitchen, bathroom, foyer, basement, or garage. Polished concrete floors can truly add enjoyment to all areas of your life!
Not just that but they’re water-resistant, heat reflective, are durable, and last for a lifetime! No need to worry about replacing your floors again.
As with most types of concrete flooring, it can be installed on slabs (concrete foundation), over old tiles, or even over the carpet at an extra cost. Most importantly this is one of the most durable and suitable flooring types for any area in your home.
As far as maintenance goes, it’s simple!
These floors are very easy to clean with a mop or wet vacuum cleaner and don’t require special treatments. You can use soap and water on these beautiful-looking floors without any worries. There is also minimal risk of cracking and they are resistant to mold so you can breathe easy knowing your floors won’t be causing any damage to your health.
Also with the recent “green” movement, these floors have become even more popular due to their eco-friendly properties. By saving energy and money on heating and cooling throughout the year, as well as being safe for people with allergies it’s easy to see why more people are choosing polished concrete floors over the carpet or other floor surfaces.
Polished concrete floors are a great option for any home or business owner and as you can tell from the benefits stated above they’re almost impossible to go wrong with! So what are you waiting for?
