Green Benefits
Concrete floors are better for the planet. The fresh concrete that goes into a floor slab is produced at a local ready-mix plant in the quantities needed for each project, so there is little waste. Using concrete also saves on the energy consumed to transport a factory-made product, such as tile or carpet, from the plant, to the distributor, and eventually to your home.
