Is Polished Concrete a good floor option for basements?

Posted at April 16, 2007 by Teresa Morrow

I was asked this question when I was attending an online chat at Business & Learning room (www.businessandlearning.com) last Wednesday, April 3rd. I had the opportunity to talk about our company and I had asked the ladies in the room if they had any questions.  One lady asked me about what I thought about having polished concrete floors vs. wood floors for her basement. My initial reply was another question to her. I asked her if the basement was also being used as a laundry room. Her reply was yes. This allowed me to give her a more complete answer based on her needs for her home.  If the basement was going to be used also as a laundry room, it would be more beneficial to her to have the concrete polished rather than installing wood floors. This is due to the possibility of having plumbing issues  and the moisture generated by washing machines and dyers. The moisture would most likely have an affect on the wood floors over time and the concrete wouldn’t be affected. Also, she could have the concrete be dyed (colored) to look like wood, if that is something she chose.  The maintenance on a polished concrete floor is much less than a wood floor, especially when having to deal with a high moisture level area such as what she was talking about for her home. buy cialisbuy cialisbuy levitrabuy levitrabuy propeciabuy propeciabuy somabuy somabuy levitrabuy cialisbuy propeciabuy levitrabuy somabuy cialisbuy propeciabuy levitrabuy somabuy cialisbuy levitrabuy propeciabuy soma
