Why Choose Polished Concrete over Sustainable Hardwood or Recycled Fibered Carpets?
Sustainable flooring has come a long way in the last five years, and consumers now have a vast choice in color, texture, and material choices for their cork, bamboo, or carpet fiber flooring. However, with even the most sustainable of flooring choices, the materials used to produce them are harvested, transported, and then installed on the jobsite. When they wear out, these materials end up in landfills only to be replaced by additional harvested, transported, and installed materials. Using bare concrete flooring and polished concrete floors does not require any such harvesting. Concrete slabs are a part of construction, and can be beautiful flooring options. The durability and stain resistance of polished concrete floors is unsurpassed in the market, and when a repolish is finally desired, it is done at a fraction of the cost with almost zero waste. Only a very small percentage of the concrete surface is removed, so there is little landfill waste.
