No more Cold and Boring - Polished Concrete's Increasing Popularity
It is not only the industrial buildings where the concrete flooring is used but many home owners have also begun to recognize the importance of this type of flooring. In fact polished concrete is the first choice for number of builders. Its durability is the prime reason for concrete being the favorite of many.
On the other hand, stained concrete has been in frequent use nowadays for manufacturing floors by several builders.

If you have wood flooring then there is every chance of wear and tear of the floor within the next few years leading to a complete replacement of the floor. This is where concrete flooring comes as an advantage.
One of the factors for increasing popularity of concrete coatings is that they do not require any extra cost like other types of conventional floorings. When you build a new home, there are several additional expenditures that eventually pile up to a huge one. With concrete flooring, you can minimize this additional cost by a substantial level. Once the concrete is laid and polished, it adds to the beauty of the interior.
Another reason for the concrete flooring being the top choice is the least expenditure on repairing concrete or other maintenance. Carpets need to be cleaned every now and then; wood requires varnishing frequently but decorative concrete floors are much more sustainable. To clean a concrete floor, all you need is soap water and a trusty mop. Once you are done with mopping, leave it to dry and the floor will be back to new again. This is also the reason why this floor is a must for warehouse floors, garage floors, school floors, basement floors or office floors where the traffic and chances of spills is very high.
