Polished concrete is fast becoming Perth’s most popular hard flooring option, yet we keep hearing that a lot of people won’t consider it for their home because the thought of walking barefoot on icy-cold concrete is off-putting. In fact, the opposite is true! Polished concrete is the ideal flooring solution for Perth families!
Polished Concrete Flooring and the Perth Climate
We all know how recently the weather in Perth can be cold one day and then a scorching 40 degrees the next. Concrete has thermal qualities that make it perfect for effective heating and cooling. Not only is it the perfect solution for the eco-conscious homeowner, it’s the ultimate solution if you’re looking to cut back on your power or gas bills.
The thermal mass and associated qualities of polished concrete floors mean they absorb heat (through direct sunlight) during the day, and then release it at night when outside temperature drops. During summer days, they keep your home cool, as it takes longer to heat up than other flooring options. It’s perfect for the budget and the environmentally conscious family!
