Concrete Flooring
Concrete is great for those looking for an easy–to–maintain floor. A smooth–finished concrete floor
offers virtually no space for allergens to move into, and any dust that settles can be swept or rinsed away. This can help
reduce the amount of allergens on your floor at any given time.
Pros
- Resistant to mold and bacteria
- When properly sealed, concrete floors can resist mites, dust and allergens
- Moisture resistant when properly sealed
Cons
- Unfinished concrete is porous and can trap moisture and allergens
