Polished concrete floors are more affordable than most other types of floors in terms of the purchase of materials and cost of installation. Unlike other types of floors, polished concrete does not break or wear, and requires no maintenance after installation. There is no chance of mold or moisture damage in the concrete, and the floor prevents mustiness, fungus, and allergens from forming. Polished concrete floors are completely seamless and can match any color scheme with endless different colors of stains and dyes. No harmful products are used in the installation, and regular cleaning only requires a neutral cleaner and water. Contact us today for more information.
When properly installed by professionals, and well cared for, polished concrete flooring can generally last up to 20 years. With cleaning, and minor maintenance, the floor will remain strong and aesthetically pleasing for decades. Concrete floors can sustain high amounts of foot traffic for many years without showing any signs of damage or wear. The use of heavy machinery on these floors can reduce the lifespan of the polished flooring. Polished concrete floors can save property owners money from having to refinish and redo the flooring every few years with long-lasting concrete floors.

While polished concrete flooring can look slippery, that is just the smooth finish of the polish. When the polish sets, the excess is ground to ensure that all holes in the concrete are filled and the floor has a nice even finish. The remaining polish may be shiny, but the floor has the same amount of grip as normal concrete. However, it is important to keep in mind that polished concrete floors can be slippery when wet so take care when walking on a polished concrete floor that is wet.

Polished concrete flooring is a very environmentally friendly choice of flooring. It doesn’t use dangerous chemicals that can harm the environment. The polish reflects light in spaces with windows, increasing the natural light in a space and lessening the need for power usage to light up a room. Very few raw materials are used in polished concrete floors, with most of the materials being recycled. The floor is also very low maintenance which helps to reduce the use of strong cleaning chemicals. Polished concrete also lasts long periods of time which reduces the quantity of materials used to fix floors. For more information about polished concrete floors, contact Talavera Tile today.
