Polished Concrete Dumfries

Sustainability is just one of the most important advantages of polished concrete flooring in these days of environmental consciousness. Having a relatively low effect on the environment is a key selling point for polished concrete. In properties that are built upon a base of concrete (as most are), there's no need for extra flooring materials, just the sanding down, sealing and polishing of the current concrete floor. There are also hardly any chemical vapours emitted by the substances used in polished concrete, thus the inside air quality and the exterior environment isn't compromised by the procedure. The substances and compounds used in polishing and sealing concrete flooring have also got no permanent smell.

Polished concrete is also economical and excellent value for money, especially in the long run. Concrete stands proud as being the cheapest flooring alternative on the market today. Because most residential properties in Dumfries are in fact built on top of huge blocks of concrete, the primary flooring foundation is already in situ. Things like vinyl, wood, carpet and tile will have simply been installed on top of the underlying concrete. In essence you're only covering up what might be your finished floor surface. The requirement for expensive air-conditioning will be minimized since polished concrete floors remain even on the hottest summer days. Furthermore, the reflective surface of polished concrete flooring helps in reducing interior lighting costs.

The fact that it is very easy to clean and maintain is another advantage of polished concrete. Routine cleaning is a necessity with most traditional floor materials. For example wood flooring needs to be waxed and polished, carpets and rugs really need to be frequently vacuumed and marble flooring is vulnerable to scuffing and needs chemical cleaning products. Given it is extremely resistant to scratching and staining, polished concrete flooring simply requires a swift mopping now and again. Along with the additional practicalities and convenience of this characteristic, time and effort can also be saved.

One of the key qualities of a concrete floor is durability. Some of the toughest floors in Dumfries buildings are built of concrete. The probable lifespan of a properly treated concrete floor is in the region of 100 years. Because of this, those individuals with their finger on the pulse in Dumfries have for some time employed this kind of flooring for high-footfall locations like shops, studios, office blocks, factories, bars and commercial spaces. Because it is able to "breathe" concrete simply isn't as vulnerable to rotting and moisture damage. Expensive repairs and replacements can often occur owing to trapped moisture with various other styles of flooring like tile, vinyl or laminate.

There are also health benefits to be gained with the implementation of polished concrete flooring surfaces. It has been well known for some years that dust mites and dust can contribute to breathing problems and allergies. The issue is that microbes, pathogens and contaminants can soon multiply in the cutouts and joins of tiles and wooden floorboards and the long fibres of carpets and rugs. There is no place for these unwelcome visitors to hide with polished concrete, as the finished surface is smooth and seamless. If you are aiming to end up with an "allergy-free" zone then polished concrete is obviously your best option.

Countless options are open to home and business owners in Dumfries, due to the fact that concrete is a highly versatile material. The a variety of treatments and stains that are readily available means that you can accomplish pretty much any appearance that you want. For instance, property owners who prefer the classic "wet" look, can achieve this with the use of silicon based sealing compounds. A faux tile effect is a popular style for concrete floors. When it's a wooden plank effect that's required, concrete can be imprinted to replicate floor boards. Astonishing designs can be accomplished by diamond grinding concrete floors to expose cross sections of the aggregate stones.
