We discuss all different aspects of polished concrete every week. This week we want to reiterate a few reasons why you should choose concrete over other flooring options. Concrete has been considered a “green†material for a lot longer than anyone has discussed sustainability. Many concrete structures have endured and stayed strong for centuries showcasing their durability and resilience. What makes concrete “green†is the fact that it is almost always produced locally with recycled materials. Some of concrete’s sustainable attributes are more recent and target improvement areas. Some examples include using alternative fuel sources during manufacturing and using industrial by products in place of cement - both of which reduce the total amount of energy required to produce concrete.
