Are you thinking of installing new floors? Not sure which type of floor you want?
Rather than going with the usual carpet or timber floors, why not consider concrete polished floors?
Concrete polished floors are the result of continuous grinding of concrete surfaces with industrial diamond tools multiple times, with concrete hardener and later polish applied. If you think that concrete floors may be grey, bland, colourless and limited design-wise, you would be wrong and pleasantly surprised.
The colour in concrete polished floors is created through the additions of dyes and/or coatings. You can stick with the neutral look or go as bright as terracotta or blue. The aggregate mix of the concrete itself—the sand and cement mixture will also determine the colour. Monochrome (black, white and brown) aggregate can lead to the concrete looking grey. While aggregate with river rock and its bleaching tendencies, lead to brown concrete floors.
The designs of concrete polished floors, like any floor, can vary however they are unique in that their natural characteristics alone can add great texture and beauty to a modern home. That being said artistic designs are possible with paint or dye, a stencil and the right sealer. Artistic designs are great way to add a permanent artistic flair to any modern home.
Concrete polished floors are a great long-term choice for a home. They are easy to clean, and the composition of the polish protects the concrete from stains and keeps it durable. Concrete polished floors offer benefits for almost every room in the house—its durability provides benefits for high traffic rooms such as the kitchen and lounge, while sealers with slip-resistant qualities are ideal for rooms susceptible to moisture such as the laundry and bathroom.
You might be surprised to learn that having concrete polished floors comes with health benefits. One major benefit being that concrete polished floors don’t absorb bacteria or bugs or accumulate dust, so it’s a great choice if you or your loved ones suffer from allergies.
So if you’re looking for durable, easy-to-clean, artistically or naturally designed floors for your home, concrete polished floors are a great way to go. Contact us at EcoGrind for a quote today.
