Today’s homeowners and businesses are much more savvy about reducing their environmental footprints. With polished concrete, it’s possible to achieve the most practical, aesthetically pleasing result, yet without the environmental impacts associated with flooring materials like carpet, hardwood and other types of coated or painted concrete floors. Floorlab’s diamond polished concrete is virtually chemical free, produces very little waste product, and makes effective use of existing material – recycled concrete – that can literally last for centuries.

What’s more, polished concrete won’t give off harmful VOCs during its lifespan, and because it’s so durable, it won’t end up in a landfill with mountains of synthetic material like carpet and laminate flooring. These products are all based on plastics that do not biodegrade, and are known to continue to off-gas for their entire lifespan. Imagine that in your home of place of business?

Concrete is also a recyclable material, and you’ll sleep better knowing that your design choices aren’t contributing to the production of pollutants. In fact, a polished concrete floor is destined to outlive its owners – how’s that for leaving a lasting legacy with a responsible ecological footprint? Floorlab’s polishing processes also filter out more than 99.9% of airborne dust and are odor free.
