Concrete Polished Floors for Bathrooms

Waterproof Concrete Polished Flooring for your Bathroom

Polished concrete flooring in bathrooms offers inherent water-resistant properties that are amplified with professional sealing techniques. The sealing process involves the application of high-quality sealants that create a barrier on the concrete surface, preventing water infiltration and potential damage.

The bathroom, always being subjected to splashes, spills, and high humidity, requires a flooring solution that can withstand these conditions without compromising integrity or appearance. Polished concrete, with its dense, non-porous surface, resists water absorption, ensuring the floor remains unaffected by the common challenges associated with moisture. It repels water effectively, reducing the risk of mould, mildew, and bacterial growth, contributing to a hygienic and healthy bathroom environment.

Anti-Slip Concrete Bathroom Floor

Although the polished surface is smooth, various treatments and finishes can be applied to increase its grip, reducing the risk of slips and falls, a common concern in bathroom environments.

One popular approach we find is the incorporation of textures or patterns into the concrete during the polishing process. These textures not only contribute to the aesthetic appeal but also increase the surface traction, even when wet. The granularity and roughness can be adjusted to strike the right balance between comfort and safety, ensuring the floor is not overly abrasive to the touch yet provides adequate grip.

Additionally, specific sealants and coatings designed to enhance slip resistance can be applied. These products imbue the polished concrete surface with increased friction, ensuring stability underfoot, especially in wet conditions.

Heating your Polished Concrete Bathroom Floor

In the colder months, polished concrete can sometimes be cold to the touch. To mitigate this, we often advise opting for integrating underfloor heating systems. These systems ensure that the floor remains warm, offering a comfortable surface to walk on post-shower or bath.

The thermal conductivity of polished concrete makes it an excellent candidate for efficiently distributing the heat from underfloor systems. It ensures even heating, eliminating cold spots and contributing to the overall ambient warmth of the bathroom. This combination of warmth and texture enhances the comfort level, making the your bathroom experience pleasant and safe.
