The recent urban development in Vancouver, Washington is changing the landscape of the enclave to something decidedly more metropolitan. This bustling city’s new construction has afforded numerous fledgling businesses the space to flourish and provided thousands of young residents trendy places to call home. The most popular trends in these new developments are sustainability, connectivity, and urban renewal.  The historic charm of Vancouver is being reinvigorated, and new developments and renewal projects alike are opting for polished concrete flooring.

Although often associated with manufacturing, shipping, and industrial warehouses, polished concrete has fast become the flooring choice for modern mixed-use developments. Polished concrete is cost-effective, efficient, sleek and strong, making it the perfect flooring option for businesses that require a heavy-duty flooring and a modern touch.

Polished concrete is impervious to water damage, which in the Pacific Northwest is a requirement. For retail businesses on busy streets, manufacturers with large shipping and receiving areas and other businesses that battle cold, wet conditions, there is no better choice for flooring than polished concrete.

Concrete is surprisingly versatile when it comes to appearance. You might not think that polished concrete could replicate the warm hues of a hardwood floor, or the artistic detail of custom tile, or the rich texture of natural stone, but concrete floors can imitate these and more.

Concrete flooring is as low maintenance and sustainable as a flooring can be. No hazardous coatings, cleaners or adhesives are required to maintain a perfectly glossy finish. This marriage of sustainability and opulence is quite the sophisticated juxtaposition.
