The Benefits of Polished Concrete Instead of Tile or Carpet

Tile chips, delaminate and cracks – longevity is key. When compared to the prices of tile or carpeting, polished concrete wins.
For tile, the square foot cost can range from $2.50 to $5.00. Carpeting can be higher. 
The average polished concrete floor of a one-car garage at 600 square feet could be $4.00 per square foot, which would last a lifetime.
Overall, polished concrete sustains aspects like staining and cracking. When you grind the concrete down to aggregate, before you polish it, you get a sustainable floor for years.  Clean up is easy, and you can hose it down without the risk of slipping or falling.
