As Salem grows and evolves into a commercial center in Oregon, we see many new businesses sprouting up daily. Many of these businesses may not require brick and mortar storefronts, but many more of them do. As those businesses plan their spaces, trend focused business owners and developers are opting for polished concrete flooring.  Polished concrete is a well-kept secret in commercial design, offering varied finishes that can rival opulent flooring as well as stand up to the heaviest of warehouse traffic.

There is a myriad of reasons developers are choosing polished concrete over other types of flooring, however, these four reasons should be enough to convince anyone that polished concrete is the superior commercial flooring.

Maintenance

Polished concrete requires very little upkeep. It is an exceedingly durable flooring choice and necessitates no harmful cleansers or chemicals to retain its trademark shine. A simple cleaning regimen consisting of a push broom and a warm water mop will keep a polished concrete floor looking as flawless on day 2001 as it did on day 1.

Allergens

Polished concrete repels dust and allergens. With no crevices, cracks or flaws to harbor dust, pollen, and other allergens, concrete flooring is singular in its ability to support a healthy atmosphere, particularly to those with sensitive constitutions.

Durability

Hardwood can splinter, tile can crack and natural stone can be extravagant. Not only can polished concrete mimic each of these flooring options, it can withstand far more in terms of foot traffic, weight and moisture. Polished concrete is inarguably the most durable flooring option available today.

Aesthetic

More than just a common commercial flooring, polished concrete can be austere, opulent, decorative, playful or artistic. There is no other flooring appropriate for both bustling manufacturing facilities and high-end retail boutiques.
