Polished Concrete Flooring
McCoy Concreting provides a range of decorative concrete types to suit your requirements. Polished concrete flooring is just one of these styles and an increasingly popular choice for residential and
commercial
properties alike. This unique flooring option offers affordability, durability, style and market value, among many other benefits.
Affordable Flooring
Most polished concrete installations are relatively inexpensive, especially if you have an existing concrete slab to work with. If installing the concrete from scratch, you’ll notice the price savings over its lifetime, as these floors are incredibly durable and resilient. Polished concrete floors aren’t as vulnerable to damage when compared to other floor types; this means they won’t need replacing, and you’ll avoid costly maintenance, repairs and replacements.
Easy To Clean
Polished concrete is far easier to clean than other flooring options and is resistant to stains and spills, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas. It’s extremely difficult to damage polished concrete floors and nearly impossible to crack, chip, scratch or dent; they can withstand pressure from heavy foot traffic, vehicles and other
equipment. This floor type is relatively easy to maintain with regular dusting, sweeping, vacuuming and mopping to remove smudges, scuffs and water marks. Concrete floors can also be rebuffed to restore their original shine if needed. Finally, their resistance to liquids prevents contaminants from entering the concrete, with some coatings also providing anti-microbial protection. This, combined with its smooth surface free of cracks and crevices, stops food, dirt and bacteria from becoming trapped.
Trending
This style is a popular trend for residential and commercial designs, with a sleek, modern appearance that perfectly fits with contemporary style spaces. Available with various colours and texture effects, you can simulate the appearance of other pricier materials, add decorative engravings and stencilled graphics to the surface, or customise the appearance to match your desired aesthetic. This flexibility makes it an excellent choice for businesses looking to create a unique and inviting atmosphere. A lighter finish is most popular to achieve a more natural look. This flooring also maintains a healthy relationship with the environment due to a lack of hazardous coatings, adhesives and chemicals during installation and upkeep.
Benefits Of Decorative Concrete
As one of the most flexible construction materials around, concrete can be used to be craft decorations for homes and gardens, including cobbled footpaths, decorative hearths, and facsimile brickwork. The advantages of using concrete to craft decorative features include the fact that concrete has almost unlimited design potential as well as being considerably cheaper to build with than many other decorative materials. Concrete decorations are also long-lasting, and easy to look after.
