5 misconceptions about polished concrete floors

There are various misconceptions about polished concrete floors. Not all misconceptions are complete lies. But most are based on incorrect or incomplete information. The 5 main misconceptions at a glance.

A polished concrete floor is cold

Polished concrete floors are often thought of as being cold. Precast concrete feels unpleasant, particularly if you are barefoot. Concrete can indeed feel cold. But SENSO’s polished concrete floors are capable of retaining heat and radiating it outwards. This creates a wonderfully warm surface on which to walk. Even barefoot. And if that is still not warm enough, a polished concrete floor can easily be equipped with underfloor heating.

A polished concrete floor will crack

It is often thought that polished concrete floors eventually crack. Precast concrete floors can indeed crack, but not with SENSO. It is highly unusual for a SENSO polished concrete floor to crack. Because we use highly flexible material. If the floor should crack anyway, there are countless ways to conceal cracks under a new top layer.

A polished concrete floor is slippery

Polished concrete floors are smooth. You are more likely to slip when the surface is wet. SENSO therefore offers an anti-slip layer. That way, you enjoy a beautifully sleek and uniform surface, without disadvantages. The anti-slip layer can be applied in bathrooms as well as stores. Safe and invisible.

A polished concrete floor has an industrial look

Previously, concrete floors were used exclusively for industrial applications. These floors therefore still have an industrial image. Polished concrete floors have grown in popularity in recent years. We therefore install more and more floors in stores, showrooms, public buildings and homes. Nowadays, polished concrete is increasingly regarded as a sleek, modern floor, rather than something that belongs in industrial complexes.

A polished concrete floor is always grey

The now outdated image still lingers. It is often thought that polished concrete floors are only available in grey. Nothing is further from the truth. Our floors are available in every conceivable colour. It is even possible to combine colours with one another. This produces a unique result, such as the SENSO Fusion.
