Why concrete is the ideal flooring material...
- Polished concrete is extremely easy to maintain and clean. No routine resurfacing or painting is required.
- The raw materials used in the production of concrete are abundant, making it a very sustainable building material and an integral part of any successful “Green Building” program.
- Lower electricity bills – Because of a phenomenon known as “Thermal Mass,” concrete helps maintain a constant temperature all year round. Cooler in the warm months and warmer in winter.
- Concrete floors produce minimal waste unlike carpet, laminate, or tile, all of which continually contribute to landfill waste as they are replaced every few years.
- Concrete floors are not as susceptible to damage by water, fire or mould as are many other types of flooring.
- Practical and naturally durable. With minimal maintenance, it never needs replacement.
- Concrete is hypo-allergenic – it does not store dust, dirt, pollen or other allergens.
- Made from natural, earthy elements rendering each flooring or countertop design absolutely unique.
- Blends very well with other natural materials such as marble, granite, wood, glass & metals.
