The charming college town of Corvallis is a city on the move. With new development changing the landscape of not just the delightfully perky city center, but the commercial centers and residential areas as well. A common trend seen in these new developments is the use of sustainable materials; for these developments concrete flooring is a popular flooring option for four significant reasons.

Polished concrete is being utilized in much of Corvallis new development for four reasons: cost, maintenance, durability, and versatility. Developers are featuring these floors in a huge percentage of new developments, and your commercial or residential space could be reaping the same benefits.

Concrete repels dust and allergens and can actually improve the air quality. The texture of wood or the porosity of ceramic tile can harbor dust, pollen, and other allergens. Smooth, breathable polished concrete a healthier alternative to all other flooring types.

Polished concrete can appear just as an opulent and luxurious flooring when customized in warm wood tones, decorative tile patterns, or with finishes that replicate natural stone. Polished concrete is as just as perfectly suited for a warehouse as it a showroom, a ballroom, or a high-end retail space.

Polished concrete repels and withstands water damage — quite the necessity in the moist Pacific Northwest, even in the high desert of Bend. While other types of flooring can be destroyed beyond repair by water damage, concrete will suffer no damage whatsoever.

Polished concrete requires no special cleaners, solvents, or caustic chemicals.
