Concrete resurfacing has emerged as an increasingly popular option for modern homes and businesses in New Zealand. Beautifully resurfaced concrete can add sophistication, improved visual appeal and dependable practicality to any space.
The Major Advantages Of Concrete Flooring
Why should you consider polished or enhanced concrete?
Enhanced Style. Gone are the days of concrete floors being simple grey slabs – polished concrete can have an elegant appearance, revealing the unique look of the aggregates used to make the concrete. Although concrete can be mixed with polishing in mind, most concrete can be polished to look wonderful – even concrete that was meant to be covered with carpet or tile.
Polished concrete offers homes and businesses a classy, shiny look that’s ideal for nearly any space.
If you’re not sure about the colour of your concrete, deep-penetrating paints or stains can be applied to affect your floor’s look before it’s polished. Coatings also add a visually appealing sheen to your floors.
Durability And Long-Lasting Performance. Polished concrete floors have exceptional resistance against wear and tear, especially when compared to other options like carpet or wood. These floors are highly resistant to damage caused by foot traffic, heavy furniture, weather exposure and moving objects. This makes concrete a comprehensive choice for indoor and outdoor areas, as well as for both high- and low-level foot traffic spaces.
The penetrating sealer applied on polished concrete floors protects the concrete from harmful materials and stains.
Affordability. Polished concrete is an affordable alternative to more expensive flooring solutions. It’s also an effective option for transforming worn tired, old looking or damaged concrete without completely removing and replacing it. Floor enhancing is a great choice if you already have concrete floors that are worn down or damaged.
In addition to saving money now, beautiful polished floors can improve the value of your property, making it easier to sell for a better price in the future.
Low Maintenance. Polished concrete is remarkably easy to care for. The top layer is very easy to clean with a simple mop or broom. So, you should have no problem keeping your lovely new floors in great condition with minimal effort.
This low-maintenance means polished concrete is ideal for any home or business owner. Regardless of whether you don’t have the time to meticulously care for your floors or if you simply don’t want to put that much effort into cleaning, polished concrete is a good choice.
Easy maintenance also eliminates the need to use potentially hazardous cleaning chemicals, making your space safer for your family members or customers. Cleaning chemicals can contain substances that are potentially harmful and can cause negative side effects if used improperly.
Enhanced Hygiene. Did you know that polished concrete also has health benefits? Unlike other flooring options, polished concrete is immune to moisture damage and mold, making it a great choice for families with allergy vulnerability or asthmatics. Additionally, unlike carpet, concrete has no fibres where dust mites and insects could hide. These pests can bother allergies and cause more issues, and properly polished concrete gives them nowhere to congregate.
Consider polished concrete for your home if you or anyone else has allergies that could be triggered by dust or dust mites. Or, consider it for your commercial space to make your business friendlier for all of your customers and staff.
Sustainability. If you’re enhancing an existing concrete floor, you’re making a sustainable choice by making use of your concrete rather than having it removed and disposed of. This minimises the environmental impact of improving your flooring.
Concrete itself is also a sustainable material. It’s durable and long-lasting, so you most likely won’t have to have it replaced anytime soon. Overall, it’s a wonderful investment that can benefit you for years.
