FLOORING //
For a polished finished: CONCRETE FLOORING
GET THE LOOK Concrete flooring can also be versatile. To achieve different looks, you can stain, score in grid pattern lines or use an acrylic sealer to give it that wet look.
The days when concrete flooring was only used in commercial and industrial buildings is long gone. Now polished concrete floors have become a popular option for residential spaces thanks to their versatility, durability and sustainability. Aside from providing a trendy industrial look, this flooring option has a long list of benefits. Concrete flooring is an eco-friendly option with very low maintenance required.
tip
Polished concrete floors can last for many years with minimum maintenance as they have a strong protection against any kinds of stains and marks. Most times, sweeping and mopping are the only cleaning you will need to maintain the concrete’s high gloss. Concrete floors are easy to clean and are fire-resistant, which makes them the ideal option for high-traffic areas such as the kitchen and living area.
To achieve a seamless transition from indoor to outdoor living why not try honed concrete? Honed concrete is very similar to polished concrete, but designed for external surfaces. Honed concrete can be used as an alternative to tiles and pavers.
