When people think of concrete, they tend to think about its applications in driveways or commercial buildings. However, many homeowners are discovering the benefits of bringing concrete into the home, from flooring to countertops. Consider a few of the perks of stained concrete floors to decide if they would be a nice addition to your home.

3 Reasons to Consider Stained Concrete Flooring

1. Low Maintenance

Concrete is very easy to care for, so those hours spent scrubbing and vacuuming your carpets are behind you. It can be swept or mopped to stay clean. The protective layer on the top will prevent any staining or damage from moisture. You’ll simply need to have the floor resealed every two to three years to keep them looking brand-new.

2. Durability

Concrete is relatively low-cost at installation, and its life span makes it an even smarter investment. When you put the effort into sealing it, it can easily last for 20 to 30 years. It’s a hard and heavy material that will not chip, dent, or wear like other types of flooring. It will maintain its attractive appearance throughout its life span, even under heavy foot traffic.

3. Warmth

While concrete can be cold to the touch outside, it will be quite cozy inside your home. Add radiant heat into the floor with water tubes or electrical cables before having the concrete poured. You’ll enjoy the feel of luxurious and comfortable floors. If you want to make it even more cozy for bare feet, such as for bedrooms, place an area rug on top.
