Both polished concrete floors and tile floors have their pros and cons, but keep in mind that you should choose flooring that is suitable for the room or environment where it will be installed. If you’re flooring a bathroom, for example, slip resistance is a priority. When deciding on a new floor, the smoothness of your floors should top your list of considerations. Polished concrete floors and tile floors are great choices for a cool-on-your-toes flooring surface.

Tiles are less expensive than polished concrete per square foot. But polished concrete is easier to maintain and more durable, so polished concrete is generally a better value. You can polish concrete floors in a variety of ways to achieve the look you want, from a satin, low-gloss finish to a high-gloss shine. They can also be polished to achieve a colour variation achieved either by polishing natural stone or by polishing resins until they produce the desired depth of colour.

While tiles are a good choice for flooring as they’re usually inexpensive and come in many beautiful colours and patterns, you can save money by using polished concrete, which doesn’t require expensive coatings to protect it, like paint or wax. It is the most widely used domestic and commercial flooring because it is strong, easy to maintain, and can be easily polished to look like smooth marble. Polished concrete is an extremely durable and versatile material for flooring. It is resistant to staining, does not show wear easily, and is easy to clean with the proper cleaning materials.

Polished concrete floors are now available in a variety of colours and finishes, creating beautiful surfaces. Long-term, the care and upkeep is less expensive and easier. Overall, polished concrete offers greater value overall.
