4 Reasons Why You Should Consider Concrete Floors

April 17, 2019by Jerald Sargent0

Concrete is used more than any other manmade material in the world, and for good reason. A surprising number of our roads, buildings, and varying structure rely on the sturdy combination of cement and aggregates to hold their shape and form in a wide variety of conditions. Whether you’re installing a driveway or a showroom floor, you’ll want a material that can stand up to heavy loads, varying temperatures, and constant traffic. Let’s take a look at four reasons why concrete is the perfect material for the job.

 

    • Cost: Sealed concrete is remarkably affordable, and can cost just a few dollars per square foot installed. Even the long-term costs are lower than traditional flooring options; as a simple surface — which can be polished to the Nines thanks to concrete grinding services — it is easy to clean and care for, especially when compared to other options such as tile or stone.

 

    • Durability: The average concrete strength is around 3,000 psi, but some concrete can reach strengths of over 20,000 psi. If you know that big, heavy vehicles will frequently be traveling across your floors, you want to guarantee that your flooring isn’t going to fracture under the weight. At the same time, concrete grinding can be followed with sealants that keep out oils, fluids, and any other spills that may occur.

 

    • Maintenance: That being said, no flooring material is impervious to damage. With concrete, you have options beyond the expensive replacement of entire slabs; concrete crack repair can be performed through concrete leveling (also known as slab jacking). As the name suggests, this technique can also be used if your slabs have settled and become uneven.

 

  • Appearance: Concrete may not be the most expensive flooring option available, but that doesn’t mean it won’t look high class. Concrete grinding and polishing can contribute to a modern aesthetic without the added costs generally associated with modern design.

 

Concrete is simple. When you choose a simple type of flooring, you reap the benefits of its affordability, durability, and ease of care. Whether you’re showing off your collection of sports cars or just want to install a clean and uncomplicated walkway leading up to your home, concrete has you covered.
