When you think about concrete floors, the words “prison-like” and “industrial” likely come to mind. However, concrete is a stylish choice for your home’s indoor and outdoor floors because of its versatile finishes. You can have fun with its colors, stains, aggregates, and texture.
Find out why concrete floors rock.
The Benefits of Concrete Floors
Concrete is durable, making it the perfect material for streets and highways. As a flooring material, it can match the resistance of a highway, and it’s resistant to dents and scratches. Best of all, it can make a fashion statement thanks to dyes and etching techniques, which can take your concrete from boring to glamorous. Choose from the two main types of concrete floors:
- Existing concrete: You can enhance the concrete slabs already in your home with decorative treatments, such as polishes and stains.
- Decorative overlay: An expert can install a concrete overlay on top of existing hard-surface floors, which can mask damage and provide a fresh, new appearance.

Concrete is Environmentally Friendly
If you’re like most home or business owners, you’re looking for more ways to be environmentally conscientious. You can’t go wrong with concrete flooring because it doesn’t deplete natural resources, requires less energy than other types of floor to produce, and it’s made locally.
Furthermore, it’s perfect for indoor air quality because it can absorb mold, mildew, and odors. Concrete doesn’t contain Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), which are gases that certain liquids and solids release. If someone inhales these gases, they may face long-term adverse health effects. Fortunately, an expert can finish your concrete with a zero-VOC sealant to keep you and your family safe.
Best of all, you may experience energy savings because this material absorbs warm and cool air, minimizing the need for a furnace and air conditioner. Because concrete is recyclable, it cuts down on the need to discard wastes found in rival flooring, such as scraps and underlayment.
Concrete is Pet-Friendly
If your home is lined with carpet flooring, you know how much pets love it. Cats, in particular, have an affinity for carpet flooring, and they treat it as their scratching post. If your pets destroy your carpet, you’ll need to pay a pretty penny for an expert to repair it. Fortunately, when you switch to concrete flooring, you’ll never have to worry about your furry friend attacking your floor again.
Concrete is the gold standard for pet-proof floors, as it withstands scratches. Does your cat or dog tend to flip over their water bowl? No worries; when you switch to concrete flooring, you can easily mop up your fur ball’s accidental messes. If you have a sensitive nose, rest assure concrete flooring will absorb your pet’s odors.
