Concrete flooring is one of the most cost-effective and long-lasting solutions for industrial and commercial settings. From warehouses and workshops to large-scale manufacturing plants, concrete delivers outstanding durability with minimal maintenance, making it a smart long-term investment.
When calculating the cost of a concrete floor, it's important to understand what you're paying for. Concrete is made from widely available materials- cement, water, sand, and aggregates - which keeps material costs low. The bulk of the expense typically comes from:
Although concrete flooring may require a higher upfront spend than some alternatives, its longevity and durability often make it the more economical option over time. With the right installation, a concrete floor can last upwards of 50 years, far outlasting most resin-based or temporary floor systems.
If you are working within an industrial sector, for example, as a manufacturer or mechanic, then you will require a flooring option for your factory, warehouse or workshop that is built to last and can withstand heavy traffic. This means that your options are limited, as there are relatively few flooring options durable enough for areas that use heavy machinery and vehicles frequently.
Epoxy resin flooring is one viable alternative to a concrete floor; however, whilst epoxy resin can sometimes be cheaper to install initially, when compared to a finished concrete floor, it is worth acknowledging that it has a much shorter lifespan.
When installed by professional concrete finishers such as ourselves, concrete floors can last for 50 years or more. On the other hand, epoxy resin flooring has an estimated lifespan of just 10 years when installed in a busy industrial environment. Concrete flooring is therefore your go-to option when looking for long-lasting, durable and attractive industrial flooring.
