Your floors are also a highway of sorts, and concrete flooring is the perfect solution to those numerous scratches and dents in your floor! Besides the durability factor, it's also quite beautiful. Simply add dyes or etching techniques to that boring grey color, and you've just turned your floor into a stunning masterpiece. One objection most people might think of right away is the weight. Concrete is heavy of course, but weight won't be a problem if you're putting new concrete floors on grade. The only time you might run into issues is if you want to install concrete on a subfloor supported by joists. In this case, you'll have to consult a structural engineer to find out if your floor can support that kind of weight. Lightweight concrete is a possible solution. pros of concrete floors

Concrete floors are a great alternative to linoleum, carpet, wood, tile, stone or marble flooring. Concrete can be stained nearly any color, resurfaced in a variety of textures and finishes, or polished for a smooth, shiny look.

Land size and building envelope planning limits may force you to make a decision. Terrace row houses with small yards are common in inner city suburbs such as Prahran, Richmond, and Brunswick. Because there isn't enough space on the bottom level, it's best for a second-story extension. The lot size is generally large enough for a ground floor restoration in suburbs.

A commonly desired concrete floor that we place in homes and businesses are interior stained concrete floors. The difference between interior and exterior stained concrete floors are the extra steps

I love that you talked about how easy it is to maintain concrete floors, because they are durable and will not have stains or dents when sealed well. I will suggest this to my husband when we get our garage constructed this year, so we might need polished concrete services for this project. We have been saving up for this because we have always had our car on the driveway which is quite a concern for us, since it can damage the material over time if the weather is harsh.

Concrete floors have gone from being unremarkable to magnificent thanks to modern concrete finishing procedures. Concrete may be dyed a large variety of earthy hues by adding dyes as it is being mixed with the wet concrete. Concrete may be transformed into stunning, one-of-a-kind finishes using surface treatments including acid stains, concrete stains, and paint designed for concrete floors. Rubber stencils may also be used to imprint concrete to provide texture. Concrete that has been completed can be colored or dyed to resemble ceramic tile, natural stone, brick, or even dirt.

It got me when you said that concrete would be low maintenance because it is durable. I guess we should hire a concrete contractor for the flooring of the garage and even for the driveway. It's durability and properties will be perfect for the wear and tear that it would be subjected to when our home gets constructed in 2024, so I hope to find a concrete contractor to hire by then.
