Benefits of Polished Concrete Floors for Your Project
Flooring is an important part of any building project, whether it’s a pool house or renovations in your own home. And when it comes to flooring, polished concrete floors may be the way to go. Not only can they be customized to your space, but they are also durable and far easier to clean than rugs or other types of flooring.
While polishing a concrete floor can be labor-intensive, the material costs to create concrete flooring are minimal. This means that polished concrete floors are a cost-competitive alternative to other floors. In addition, the polishing process leaves the floor with a topical sealant, which helps provide stain resistance.
These concrete floors are also durable. While other flooring, such as epoxy, carpet or tile, shows its age over time, a polished concrete floor does not. When it begins to lose its shine, all you need to do is scrub the floor and then apply fresh topical sealant. This can keep your flooring looking as good as new for years to come.
In addition, there are energy savings to be had with polished concrete floors. They’re also environmentally friendly. The Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design has set guidelines to help achieve green project goals. Polished concrete floors fall within those guidelines, and also can increase ambient light reflection by up to 100 percent to decrease the need for overhead lighting.
If you’re worried about style, these floors can also be stylized to suit the space. The surface can be colored using water-based reactive dyes, and designs can be cut into the floor to give the effect you want.
