Polished concrete is a new trend for tradies to consider, as the demand from clients builds for an easy-care and visually appealing flooring solution.
The high practicality attained when you polish concrete is a win-win all around for everyone.
One of the biggest reasons that clients are switching on to polished concrete floors is in order to save money. Without the need for expensive overlays, timber care or carpets that need regular maintenance, concrete makes a lot of sense financially.
Furthermore, the strength and durability of concrete means home owners don't have to worry about scratches as they would for timbers, or rips and tears as they would for carpeted areas. Concrete is a long lasting option that won't need replacing anytime soon.
This option is also ideal as an easy-care flooring solution. A regular sweep will keep the dust away, and a simple mop will clean up any spills. There's no need for washing or steaming when it comes to concrete.
Another thing to consider is the climate. Some areas such as those in the Northern Territory, are often warm or hot all year round, and concrete flooring can help to regulate the temperature on those really scorching days.
