There may be no flooring stronger than concrete. That’s why it’s used in warehouses – it can handle cars, forklifts, truck, stacked crates, and much more. In your home, this durability means it can handle high heels, pets, furniture scratching on it, etc. Just be sure that you have your concrete professionally stained for the right look.
If you have Fuller Concrete Staining seal your concrete, then it requires very little maintenance. It will needed to be resealed at some point, depending on the type of traffic it gets. Besides that, all you need to do is use a gentle cleaning agent and mop it once in a while. If you have stubborn stains, pull out a blue utility pad.
It’s almost always true that there’s already a concrete subfloor under whatever type of flooring you already have. As a result, no new material is needed and no carbon footprint exists. It’s just a matter of uninstalling whatever’s on top of the concrete.
All you need to do is make sure that the concrete you have doesn’t have blemishes such as holes, bumps, or other defects. If that’s true, then you can add a different flooring on top of it whenever you want.
Unlike carpet, linoleum, and other popular flooring options, concrete will last pretty much forever, provided it’s sealed and maintained. Not only will this save you money, but it will prevent the inconvenience of having new flooring installed every few years.
