Why More Pacific Northwest Businesses Are Installing Polished Concrete Flooring

In the thriving Pacific Northwest, thousands of new businesses are established every day. Of these thousands of potential success stories, only a fraction will end up in brick and mortar spaces. From large scale manufacturers to independent boutiques, each of these new businesses has one thing in common; they need to create engaging, functional workspaces that are efficient and dynamic. For these reasons and more, Oregon and Washington commercial spaces are installing polished concrete flooring.

Polished concrete is a superior flooring option for businesses of all kinds for four very simple reasons: cost, maintenance, durability, and aesthetic. When each of these incentives is considered, the choice is clear—there is no more intentional choice for flooring than polished concrete.

Cost

Polished concrete flooring is especially cost-efficient in manufacturing or other warehouse commercial spaces where an existing slab on grade is used as the finished floor surface.

Maintenance

In smaller commercial spaces, polished concrete requires very little maintenance. Polished concrete requires no additional cleaners or treatments and will retain its luster with regular dusting and mopping.

Durability

There is no commercial flooring option more durable than polished concrete. While wood floors are susceptible to water damage and tiles may crack and chip, polished concrete will maintain its appearance and strength regardless of traffic or water exposure.

Aesthetic

Regardless of the overall design of your space, be it industrial or decorative, polished concrete can meet your needs. Available in a wide variety of hues, polished concrete can mimic hardwood, decorative tile or opulent stone for a fraction of the cost.

Consider polished concrete floors for your commercial space, not just to create a functional space, but to exceed your flooring expectations.
