SUNSHINE COAST POLISHED CONCRETE SPECIALISTS
HYPO ALLERGENIC
If you're looking for allergy relief, removing your carpeting and opting for decorative concrete floor is a great option. Unlike carpet, linoleum and wood flooring, concrete flooring has a sealed and smooth surface that won’t trap dust, mites, or pet dander. These allergens create an unhealthy environment in your home. Polished concrete floors maintain clean air through the lack of dust and dirt being harboured and circulated through the air and do not support the growth of toxic moulds and bacteria.
LOW MAINTANANCE
Throw away those harsh cleaning chemicals and endless hours of housework! The same properties that allow concrete floors to be so durable also make them super easy to maintain. Polished concrete surfaces are tightly compacted and when sealed correctly, shrug off dirt, grit, stains, spills, and hard impacts and do not require any waxing or stripping to maintain the sheen. A little sweeping and damp mopping with water is all that’s required to keep them looking shiny and new.
COST EFFECTIVE
Apart from adding value to your home, who doesn't want to reduce the cost of living? The reflective properties of a polished concrete floor increases the lighting in facilities with improved reflectivity and ambient lighting. The thermal mass properties of polished concrete absorbs heat from direct sunlight and release that stored heat at a required rate according to the temperature of the air, so you can look forward to cooler rooms in summer and warmer floors in winter. Increased ambient lighting will most certainly reduce the energy bill as well as look stunning.
DURABILITY
A concrete floor that has been hardened and polished will have an extremely long life expectancy compared to other flooring. For example, Epoxy has a short life span of 1 to 5 years and easily peels, some tile floors may only last 10–20 years, but a polished concrete floor that has been properly maintained will give you decades of service.
DESIGN
Your concrete floor is limited by your own imagination. The applications of decorative concrete designs for outdoor and indoor living spaces and driveways for your home or business can be created in many forms. For example stained concrete, stamped concrete, coloured concrete, exposed aggregate and finishes and you can even embelesh your floors with decorative toppings. You can create the very ground you walk upon!
