From a sustainability standpoint, flooring contractor is the most environmentally friendly flooring option. It maximizes the use of what’s already in place, avoiding needing extra construction materials like tile or vinyl, and it utilizes low-VOC sealants that are healthier for indoor air quality. It also helps lower energy consumption by bouncing light around the space, decreasing the need for artificial lighting and saving on utility bills.
The durability of polished concrete also reduces environmental impacts by reducing the need for frequent replacements and material waste. The durable surface can withstand heavy machinery, foot traffic, and moisture without deteriorating. It can even be made to look like a tiled surface or incorporate other materials into the concrete for design flexibility.
Eco-Friendly Polishing for Sustainable Floors: Why Green Flooring Solutions Are the Future
In addition, the non-porous nature of the surface makes it easier to clean. This requires less water and cleaners to maintain, and it eliminates the need for chemicals to clean stains, mold, and bacteria. It’s also a great choice for facilities seeking to achieve green certifications.
Concrete itself has a high global warming potential, but Holcim’s ECOPact green concrete products can drastically lower that number by using innovative admixtures and supplementary cementitious materials. By using these products, it’s possible to achieve a 30 to 90% reduction in embodied carbon. This is especially helpful for projects that require a large amount of concrete, such as data centers and warehouses. This is accomplished by replacing conventional concrete with a higher strength and density product, which uses significantly less energy to produce.
