As concrete contractors in Hamilton, we’ve heard a lot of myths about concrete floors.
Despite being the most commonly used material used for flooring, there are still quite a lot of misconceptions about concrete floors.
If you’re unsure about whether concrete flooring is the right choice for you, this article will debunk some of the most common myths.
A common myth about concrete floors is that they’re always cold, but this is not true.
On the contrary, concrete floors can be warmer than the alternatives due to their ability to absorb and retain heat.
Concrete floors are also good for underfloor heating, although this needs to be a gradual process to allow the concrete to sufficiently cure.
Concrete floors are actually very easy to clean and maintain, as they are naturally spill and stain resistant.
By sweeping often and occasionally mopping using light soap, you’ll be able to keep your concrete floor clean with minimal effort.
When you think of concrete, you might immediately think of dull grey concrete often used in construction.
However, there is a wide range of options when it comes to customising concrete floors, with plenty of colouring, texturing, patterns and finishing options so you can find the perfect design for your home.
Many people believe that concrete is harmful to the environment due to the large amount of carbon dioxide produced by the cement industry.
However, concrete is one of the more environmentally friendly materials thanks to its durability, which means that concrete floors and buildings can potentially last for hundreds of years, provided they’ve been constructed correctly.
Concrete floors can potentially develop microscopic hairline cracks after many years of use, but thanks to sophisticated reinforcing techniques, concrete floors are now significantly more durable and can last for many years without any damage.
Provided you use experienced concrete constructors like us, your concrete floor will last for many years to come.
