HOW NATURE STONE SOLVES COMMON CONCRETE FLOORING PROBLEMS

Are you experiencing problems with your concrete floor and seeking a solution? Perhaps you have noticed hairline cracks in your basement floor, uneven concrete slabs in your front walkway, or dark spotting on your pool deck. These are signs of some of the most common problems that people experience with concrete flooring. Fortunately, Nature Stone offers a permanent solution.

CRACKS

Concrete is an extremely rigid material and can be prone to cracking, depending on the circumstances. One common cause of cracks is shrinkage. Before concrete hardens, it is in a plastic state, meaning it is full of water. In this state, the concrete takes up a certain amount of space. As it loses moisture and dries, the concrete will shrink. This shrinkage sometimes results in cracks, ranging from hairline to larger cracks. Another common cause of cracks is expansion. In hot weather, concrete will expand, pushing against the nearest object, such as a wall. If the wall has no room to flex, the force can cause the concrete to crack.

Nature Stone epoxy flooring will not crack or chip. It is unaffected by extreme shifts in temperature, from freezing cold to hot.

SURFACE DISCOLORATION

Over time, you may notice discoloration of your concrete floor, evident in unsightly dark spots or large stains. You may think that nothing can be done about these imperfections unless you completely remove and replace the existing concrete.

However, Nature Stone flooring is applied directly over your concrete, hiding any evidence of discoloration and adding beauty.

MOLD AND MILDEW

Damp environments such as basements are breeding grounds for funguses like mold and mildew. If left unattended, mold and mildew can quickly spread to other areas of your home and pose a significant health hazard to you and your family. Nature Stone flooring is designed to be mold and mildew resistant. The special blend of stone epoxy is engineered with hydrostatic ports, allowing concrete floors to “breath” and moisture to evaporate. This lack of moisture prevents the growth of mold even in wet conditions, giving you peace of mind.

If you are experiencing any of these issues with your concrete floor, call Nature Stone today. Our stone epoxy flooring is installed directly over existing concrete, eliminating future problems and imperfections.
