Is a concrete floor too difficult to walk on?
Concrete is probably the most popular flooring material for tough-working commercial and residential areas such as warehouses, garages, basements as well as retail stores, its toughness is definitely a positive thing! Additionally, concrete is the most well-known option for hardscapes for the exterior, such as pathways, decks for swimming pools as well as driveways, patios outside and patios.
Concrete is a highly popular surface for interiors and outdoor floors due to many great reasons:
- Durability--it's resistant to damage from weather, foot traffic vehicles, tools or chemical spills
- A floor that is sealed is resistant to spills, stains, bacteria and dust, so an easy sweep and a mop with a damp cloth is enough to keep your flooring in good order
- It can be stained or resurfaced, or stamped to create beautiful individual designs that resemble natural wood, stone, and brick (at only a fraction of the price that "real")
- In terms of replacement, concrete floors last longer than other flooring options, including tiles, carpet, linoleum , and wood
- Environmentally-friendly--in most cases a concrete subfloor already exists beneath whatever flooring is in place, so removing that material to get to the concrete surface eliminates the need for newly produced material to have a new floor
- Temperature "wise"--concrete keeps rooms cool during summer and warm during winter by holding temperatures and gradually releasing heat or cooling
