Many commercial, industrial, and residential building owners recognise the apparent benefits of stained concrete floors. A beautifully stained and finished concrete floor is a wise choice over carpet, linoleum, marble, tile, stone, or wood floors.
From minimal maintenance and durability to cost savings, stained concrete flooring are an excellent choice when building or renovating a property. Here are some of the reasons why commercial property owners prefer stained concrete.
Aesthetic
When choosing a professionally laid concrete floor, you will experience elegance and sophistication at a reasonable price. With skilful staining processes correctly designed and installed, it can look as beautiful as any of the more expensive flooring materials available, effectively imitating flagstone, granite, marble, travertine, sandstone, and slate.
Durability
Professionally stained concrete floors have a high compressive strength capability and are durable. As a result, they are exceptionally resistant to wear and strain. Other flooring solutions wear out with time, but stained concrete does not. There is no warping, buckling, flaking, chipping, or peeling. Stained concrete floors are also resistant to the sun’s UV light rays, preventing fading or discolouration with other flooring options over time.
Versatility
Concrete can be stained in many colours to fit the appearance of your property. It can be textured to provide unique designs and visual appeal or polished to provide a smooth, glossy finish. Resurfacing your business’s original concrete floors beneath an old carpet surface is a cost-effective and ecologically beneficial flooring choice. Additionally, ornamental coatings and other components can be added to a concrete floor design to improve the aesthetic appeal of a commercial or industrial structure.
Low Maintenance
Maintenance is one of the most important post-installation considerations to ponder for your flooring options. A stained concrete floor that receives a lot of activity may require a little extra buffing or repolishing to preserve its original beauty, but stained concrete floors require a fraction of the upkeep that other flooring options do. Simple sweeping or mopping to remove debris on a beautiful concrete floor is all that is required to keep it looking fantastic, especially if the floor has been sealed with a clear finish.
Energy Savings
Concrete floors, unlike very few other floor alternatives, can collect and gently release both heat and cold stored up due to their thermal mass quality. This enables property owners to adjust energy usage to both warm and cool a property by limiting temperature swings within, even if the outside weather varies radically with temperature shifts.
Water Resistance
There is unlikely to be a more water-resistant flooring option available. Because stained concrete floors allow only trace amounts of moisture to pass through them, you won’t have to struggle with rot or other problems. Other flooring solutions can encounter warping, rotting, and discolouration, as well as mould and mildew impacts, but stained concrete floors are so water-resistant that you’ll never face the same level of severe water damage effects.
Sustainability
Staining concrete flooring is becoming increasingly popular and sought after for both commercial and residential properties, not just for its beauty and adaptability but also because it is an environmentally friendly and sustainable product. Concrete production continues to be energy efficient. It is typically made from locally obtained materials and recycled, or waste materials can be included in the manufacturing process. As a result, when deciding on the type of flooring to install in your commercial building, stained concrete flooring is a top choice for the environment.
