The Pros of Concrete Flooring:
To people that are used to thinking of concrete as a utilitarian surface suitable only for driveways, garages, and sidewalks, the many virtues of concrete as an interior flooring material may come as a surprise.
*Durability: Concrete flooring is extremely tough and resilient
*Easy maintenance: Keeping a concrete floor looking its best requires a minimum amount of maintenance.
*Long-lasting: A sealed and properly maintained concrete floor can last indefinitely
*Design flexibility: Modern advances in mixing and setting have allowed designers to achieve an almost endless variety of color and texture.
*Versatility: As long as the concrete is smooth and free from holes, bumps, and defects, you have the choice of installing almost any flooring over it later if you want a change
The Cons of Concrete Flooring:
*Hardness: The strength and durability of this material can also be a liability. Falls and anything dropped on it tends to hurt... or break!
*Discomfort: The hardness of concrete also makes it uncomfortable to stand on for long periods of time.
*Coldness: Another drawback of concrete is that it has little insulating value.
*Slipperiness: When concrete is highly polished or buffed, or when coated with a gloss sealer, the surface can be very slippery, especially when wet
So it looks cool, but whether you choose to use concrete as flooring or not, feel free to ask M Squared any questions and we'll be happy to help make your space perfect for you and your family!
