Decorative concrete is a much more economical alternative to other high-end floor coverings (ceramic tile, slate, and marble). The textures of these coverings can even be replicated with concrete, so you’ll be able to have the look you want for much less. Also, since concrete is much more durable and has a longer life expectancy, you won’t have to worry about replacing a damaged floor.

If you’re having concrete floors installed in a commercial setting, a hard concrete floor is recommended. The hardness will allow for forklifts and other mobile machinery to move about without causing damage to the floor.
If you have these concerns for a residential area, there are ways to cushion the concrete, such as area rugs. You also do not need to worry about the concrete being abrasive to your feet. Unlike the road concrete you may be familiar with, indoor concrete can be polished and finished.

Are Concrete Floors Cold and Damp?
With the availability of radiant heating cables, these can be embedded into the concrete. Since concrete has thermal properties, it can store and radiate heat. You will be able to control the temperature of the floors. This is really great, especially in the winter.
In new homes, building codes require the installation of a vapor barrier under any concrete slabs in order to block out moisture which causes the feeling of dampness.
In summer and in hot climates, a cooler floor can be an advantage and can actually help lower air-conditioning costs.

Since concrete is less labor-intensive to install, they generally cost much less than other materials such as brick or natural stone. Concrete is a great choice for those wanting a stylish patio without spending a fortune. Concrete can be laid into a variety of patterns and can have a wide array of colors. In addition, since concrete is poured, it can conform to any shape you have in mind for your patio.

Concrete stains are great because they allow you to personalize your design even further. Since concrete stains are permanent and won’t wear away, it is important to choose your color choice wisely. You may want to consider a few things such as color schemes of the area and the future of the area the concrete is in (do you plan to redecorate in the future or not).
There are different types of concrete stains. They can be categorized as acid-based chemical stains and water-based stains. Acid-based chemical stains are great for providing earth tones. Water-based acrylic stains are able to provide a much broader variety of colors. Most manufacturers offer dozens of standard colors, and even metallic tints. Here, too, the different colors can be mixed, like water-based paints, to broaden your options.
