Durability pertains to the ability of a material to last without significant deterioration. Concrete is known for its durability, which allows it to resist weathering action.
It’s a great bathroom material because it does not easily succumb to abrasion, chemical attacks, and weathering.
Concrete does not have many organic ingredients, which means it is impervious to rotting and rusting. This special quality is useful in bathroom.
Moisture, though, can enter through joints, so inspecting the floors at least annually is necessary. If there are cracks, repair them immediately to minimise joint damage.
Concrete is a sustainable material. It’s easily recyclable and does not usually require special packaging. Concrete can contain limestone, one of Earth’s most abundant minerals.
Limestone makes the moulding of concrete surfaces and structures so much easier. Manufacturers create powders for limestone out of power plants and steel mill by-products.
Old concrete from demolished buildings, for example, can be reused as an additive for new flooring mixtures.
Bathrooms have one of the highest risks of accidents in a home. That’s why, as much as possible, you should make sure the bathroom floor is not too slippery, especially when wet.
A professional concrete installer will know what to do, so you can walk around the bathroom without worrying about dangerous slips and trips.
Typically, a sealer or a non-slip coating is applied, which helps increase traction. This sealer is also valuable for making concrete more waterproof and abrasion-resistant.
