The Benefits of a Polished Concrete Shower Floor
For many years, tiles and shower bases have been the standard in bathroom floor design but have you ever considered a polished concrete shower floor?
There are so many benefits to having a polished concrete shower floor in your Melbourne bathroom and we would like to share just a few of them with you.
Out with the old
Tile mould. It’s nasty stuff. Mould requires water, food, and oxygen to grow and thrives in damp, humid, and wet conditions. Lucky you don’t have food in your bathroom, right?
Except, you do. Soap residue and body oils feed mould and grouted tile joins between your shower tiles are the ideal place to serve it up.
This can be avoided with prefabricated synthetic shower bases but though lightweight, you’ll need to deal with having a large bulky piece delivered and installed.
They are designed for standard showers so you will be limited in the size, shape, and design, and if you get a leak in one of those suckers, you’ll have to replace the whole thing!
In with the new
These days, there are many more options available that overcome some of these problems.
Some, create new problems, and others are too expensive for most of us to consider, but one option many overlook is often already installed and waiting for a little TLC.
You’ve already figured out what I’m going to suggest – a shower floor that is polished concrete.
Easy and stylish – Just what you deserve
Can you imagine anything easier to clean than a polished concrete shower floor?
No more worrying about tile grout (and that pesky mould) and finally, you can have the design you want, your way.
What about hardwearing and durable?
t’s concrete after all, so naturally, it’s scratch resistant.
How many other shower floor options can you say that about?
Not to mention the all-natural materials make it allergy free and safe for the whole family, even the furry ones. Unlike other materials, your concrete shower floor can’t be damaged by water.
Finally, what better addition could there be to the modern style décor of your Melbourne home?
It’s easier than you might think
We can work with newly poured concrete but if you are looking to upgrade your existing bathroom, we can often work with the materials that are already there, hidden beneath those cracked tiles or that bulky but boring shower base.
Every concrete pour is completely unique so when it is allowed to shine, be it through acid etching, partial exposure, or full exposure, a polished shower floor will bring out the essence of your home through creative design.
