Are you thinking about that horrible concrete floor that was left when you took out the carpeting from your home? Worry no more! If you want something that’s totally fresh and totally new, then you can try sticking with that concrete permanently? Here’s why:

1. Polished concrete is almost maintenance free. I say almost because there is no available flooring material out there that’s 100% maintenance free. But concrete, by itself is already easy to maintain, so you wouldn’t have to worry about vacuuming dust from carpets, or waxing hard wood floors. The sheen on polished concrete almost never dulls out.

2. Polished concrete is relatively IN-expensive. The actual cost is actually between the high prices of marble, slate, or ceramic tiles and cheaper materials like vinyl tiles and carpets. But if you’re considering the long run, concrete can outlast all of these materials by a hundred years and still look like it was installed yesterday.

3. Polished concrete is excellent flooring material for your home. You might start thinking concrete is too hard or too cold and damp. Well, you’ll be glad to know that these trivial drawbacks can be rectified with simple solutions. Installing vapor barriers prevent moisture from migrating to the surface keeping the floor dry and radiant heating cables make sure that it’s warm enough for your feet. Ask your FULL-TRACK contractor about those. One of the superb characteristics of radiant floor heating is the warmth of the floor. You can lie on the floor and be amazingly comfortable. Other floors are cold or uncomfortable. A floor thats heated is a dream to walk on with bare feet or just in socks. You will not believe it until you try it.

Concrete slabs that contain the radiant-floor-heat piping become massive radiators. Once the concrete gets heated, the thermal mass radiates the heat into the room for hours. You can get the slab up to temperature and then turn back the thermostat. Ive had my basement floor radiate bone-warming heat for up to 12 hours after the thermostat was turned back.

4. Polished concrete is slippery. false. When kept dry and clean, polished concrete is an excellent way to maintain traction between your feet and the floor. In case you’re still worried, there are floor conditioners available that you can apply to prevent hypothetical and accidental slips.

5. Polished concrete is decorative. True. The possibilities are endless. You can add some coloring pigments in the cement mixture and it will make a big difference when the concrete hardens. You’ll even be more impressed once the floor is polished.

These are just some of the many advantages of having your concrete floors polished. If you want to see it for yourself, try visiting some known establishments using the material and see for yourself.

6.It has become the new material of choice for designers and homeowners across the United States. Concrete floors in stained, colored, painted, and personalized glory are popping up in retail stores, trendy restaurants, offices, and homes everywhere. A concrete floor offers numerous options for interior rooms including nearly limitless designs, colors, and even health benefits.

One of the most common places youll see decorative concrete these days is under your feet. Whether its acid-stained, painted, overlays, micro toppings, radiant floors, or a unique personal floor, concrete floors offer a range unlike any other material. Concrete flooring, sometimes referred to as cement flooring, no longer has to be gray and boring. Nownbsp;coloring concrete, or applying textures, patterns, saw cuts, etc., can bring new life to this traditional substrate. Concrete can be so uniquely designed or so naturally colored that it blends seamlessly with other elements in a room--oftentimes, you dont even realize its a concrete floor youre standing on!

Many are welcoming, embracing, and anxiously pursuing concrete floors for their own home projects. All it typically takes is one look whether its in a magazine, on a home tour, a television show, or in someones home and youre hooked.

a host of reasons why concrete is a popular material for concrete (or cement) floors:

• It enhances the integrity of architects designs.
• They are easy to maintain.
• Its easy to change, especially if you sell your home; the next owner can place carpet or wood on top of the concrete slab.
• They are great in regions with a lot of sand or snow.
• They are a good alternative to carpet if you have allergies.
