Where & Why can I use Melbourne concrete polished floors outside my home?

When it comes to concrete polished floors, they serve a purpose that falls beyond the internal walls of your home.

At Eco Grind, we know the durability, aesthetic appeal and low maintenance aspects of concrete polished floors make them an excellent choice for many areas around your property.

Let’s take a look at where concrete polished floors can be used outside and around your Melbourne home, from garages to workshops, backyard sheds, patios/entertainment areas, pools and even the driveway.

Common areas for concrete polished floors

Garage

One of the most common areas for polished concrete floors outside the home is the garage. This is one area where you need a flooring surface that can handle the weight of heavy vehicles, spills from substances such as oil and other liquids along with the overall general wear and tear of a well-used area of the home. Polished concrete in the garage can turn it from a room that stores your cars, to an area that adds to the stylish feel of your home.

Workshops/backyard shed

Whether you are handy with tools or like to dabble in woodwork or metalwork, your workshop or backyard shed would benefit greatly from polished concrete floors. The surface is sturdy enough to endure the impact of heavy tools and machinery, while providing a smooth and even surface that is safe, comfortable for extended work periods and is even easier to clean.

Patio and pool areas

Melbourne is well known for its crazy weather conditions going from one extreme to the other. In external areas which can be impacted by heat or water, you need a surface that can handle all the changes, while still providing a comfortable surface to walk on. Polished concrete offers up a smooth surface that is gentle and cool underfoot and slip resistant where you need it to be.

Driveway/property entry

A polished concrete driveway not only looks good, but also offers up a durable surface for vehicles. The polished finish resists marks from your car tyres and even stains, keeping the driveway looking great for years to come.
