Consider Concrete For Your Floors

When it comes to your flooring there are a few reasons that you should seriously consider concrete. Now, most people when they think of concrete floors they think of a blank gray floor. However, most people do not realize just how versatile concrete is. You can choose carpet, tile, or wood, but there are some serious reasons that you should consider concrete. This article is going to articulate why concrete might just fit the bill for your home:

Color

When people think of concrete most people will think about a sidewalk, but the truth is that gray is not the only color that you can choose from. When the concrete is being mixed, the contractor can add different color additives that will turn the concrete different colors. Talk with the contractor about the color scheme that you would like to put down for your floors. The different colors that are possible truly are almost limitless, and all you need to do is talk to your contractor and see what colors they are comfortable with creating. Whether you want to partition your floor into different areas, or if you want the entire floor to be one color it is possible to get the colors that you want.

Stamping

If you are choosing concrete as your floor you actually have a lot of different finishing options. A skilled contractor can actually take a stamping tool and create many different types of finishes on the surface of the concrete. Some of the most popular stamping patterns are timber, tile, and stone. When the concrete is still wet and setting up the contractor will take the stamp and create a unique surface on your concrete surface. This type of surface can create a great deal of character in your home.

Durability

One of the best reasons that you should consider concrete for your floors is that it is extremely durable. If you have driven on a freeway, highway, or city road in the past few days, you have likely driven on a concrete road. If it is durable enough for roads then it is most definitely durable enough for your floors. Not only is concrete durable, there are additives that can be added that give a little bit of texture and also give it more durability. It can be very frustrating to put down a type of flooring that simply does not hold up. If your floors are concrete, you will know that your floors will last.
