Newcastle Concreters

Commercial

Besides domestic applications, concrete is heavily used in commercial areas such as industrial buildings, warehouses, business centers, restaurants, and retail stores. All commercial buildings heavily use concrete in all areas including walkways, driveways, floors, walls, pavements, and other architectural details. In terms of durability and structural performance, commercial concrete has to be more resilient than residential concrete. A stronger reinforcement and a heavier concrete mix is required in case of commercial concrete because it has to support greater loads and with greater frequency. Normally post-tensioned concrete slabs are used for the purpose.

Durable for high traffic areas​

In places like salons, restaurants, retail stores, and other commercial places with high traffic and increased movement, commercial concrete flooring can present a great alternative to carpets, wood, and vinyl tiles. The reason is that concrete flooring can present with unlimited opportunities in terms of design schemes and theme selection. Besides, concrete flooring is much more rugged and can a lot more ‘beating’ than other alternatives.

Residential vs commercial concreting

​There is a significant difference between the method in which concrete is prepared for commercial and residential applications. Commercial concrete has to be a lot more durable because it has to face a lot more exposure that residential concrete. Often, the load requirements are also greater for commercial concrete. This extra durability is provided through the use of extra coatings and re-enforced finishes that makes the flooring more resistant to abrasion and staining. While working on the floor finishing, extra care must be taken so that the floor doesn’t end up being too slippery and pose a risk for staff members of the area. The finishing requirements also vary from place to place. In restaurants, for example, the flooring needs to easy to clean because they are frequent food spills that might cause permanent stains. ​
Aesthetic requirements​
​
Apart from superior durability, concrete floors in commercial areas must appeal to the aesthetic sense of the customers in that area. In the case of restaurants or hotels, for example, the flooring has to be of a certain type to generate specific vibes suitable to the area. This is where concrete flooring can be decorated with desired designs and themes to create a specific atmosphere. It might come as a surprise to you, but certain types of decorative schemes have known to increase traffic through the area. So proper designs can be used to attract people to specific places.
​
The flooring can also be personalized to reflect the theme of your business. If you are looking for a mix of design and durability, then Epoxy terrazzo might be a great choice for you. Besides, metallic epoxies are a new trend because they give a shiny outlook to the floor. Specific concrete flooring can also be used to brighten up your business area. High gloss polished flooring is becoming immensely popular for retail areas because it can reflect the overhead lights and further illuminate the pace.
