Polished Concrete: A Great Green Floor Option
When it comes to green flooring, polished concrete is a fantastic option.
The obvious reason that polished concrete makes a great flooring option is that the greenest product is no product at all.
Tile and epoxy floors aren’t nearly as green – and they don’t offer nearly the same amount of green benefits and reduced maintenance costs as polished concrete.
Polished concrete offers the following green benefits:
- Recyclable – Polished concrete is the only flooring option that can be recycled/renewed at the job site
- Lower Energy Costs – Concrete flooring uses the thermal mass of concrete to reduce heating and cooling cost
- Reflectivity – Polished concrete is so highly reflective that it increases ambient lighting by 30%. As a result, you don’t need to use nearly as many lights as you would have to use with other types of flooring. You end up saving on energy costs.
- Safe Flooring – The fact that polished concrete is so highly reflective makes it look as if it is slippery – it isn’t. Polished concrete is a high traction flooring option. The CPAA recognizes the ANSI B101.1/B101.3 standard for slip coefficient field testing and recommends customers to have their floor tested on a regular basis. Concrete Floor Systems can even perform a slip abrasion test for insurance purposes after your floor is completed.
- Low Maintenance – After installation, polished concrete requires very little maintenance compared to other flooring options. As a result, you save money and on energy costs required for floor maintenance.
The advantages over a coated floor make polished concrete the far superior choice.
