Polished Concrete Flooring Melbourne Is On Trend
Polished concrete is one of the hottest trends in flooring at the moment, and for good reason. It’s not just good-looking and long-lasting, but cheaper over the decades it should last, making it so much cheaper than all the other options as well!
Why Do Commercial Properties Use Polish Concrete?
Concrete floors are perfect in an industrial setting with their heavy traffic, huge open spaces and need for durability. All the things that make it so perfect in the industrial setting also make it perfect for a commercial setting as well.
Hard-wearing, easy to clean and stain-resistant, polished concrete flooring Melbourne are perfect for high-traffic places like restaurants where after a quick sweep and mop, they are ready for another busy day.
These floors don’t need to be constantly coated with wax or polish to maintain their sheen (so yes, cheaper to maintain) All they require is a sweep and maybe a mop for mud, spills and stuck-on grime. In terms of appearance, maintenance and durability, polished concrete floors have a huge advantage over traditional flooring options.
Keeping a lobby, showroom or large store looking good is easy with so many colours, patterns, and textures available to choose from. You could have a floor that steals the show and looks far too good to walk on, or maybe create one that blends in and showcases your products. You can get one that is in your corporate colours, has seashells in it or is just a sea of dazzling sheen!
Polished Concrete Is Great In Residential Settings
In the residential setting, architects are using polished concrete floors in new and imaginative ways, creating works of art where we used to have boring carpet or lino. Truly, when it comes to polished concrete floors, the sky is the limit!
Then there is the gloss level, aggregate type as well as surface finish to choose from. With so many variables giving you so many options, it would be a shame to limit this hard-wearing long-life flooring option to only commercial floors!
Concrete grinding and polishing are perfect for new builds. Make sure you let your concreter know that you have plans for grinding and sealing so that they can do a finish that helps, not hinder, the polishing process.
If you have a concrete floor under the old and worn flooring in your home or office, we can remove the flooring, and add another layer of concrete to smooth things out physically and visually before we start the grind. Old floors are easy enough to bring up to standard if you have your heart set on one of the many looks that polished concrete floors can give you.
Polished concrete flooring Melbourne give you the best of all worlds. You can place mats on them to warm things up a bit. Embrace their waterproofness in a bathroom. Love the durability of them in a busy kitchen. And enjoy how stunning they look in large open spaces like foyers and entrances.
With concrete being the likely base flooring in a lot of citations these days, you already have the base to work from, even if you have to rip up the flooring on top of it. This makes it a cleaner, greener option, so you have fewer new products being purchased as well as sending less waste to landfill. It’s a much greener option than you might have first thought!
