There are numerous reasons why indoor concrete flooring is preferable to carpeting. For starters, any type of liquid or mess can be easily wiped away when it comes to stains and spills. Concrete flooring eliminates the need for costly professional carpet cleaning services on a regular basis.
Carpets, in addition to stain removal, can serve as a breeding ground for germs, mold, and bacteria. This can have an impact on the overall air quality in your home and pose a number of health risks that you are unaware of. While regular vacuuming can help, your carpet will still require a thorough deep clean every six months. Concrete can be easily sanitized by wet and dry mopping the surface.
You may need to reseal your concrete floor at some point, but this is only necessary every three to five years.
Wear and tear is another issue that comes with carpets. Carpets in high-traffic areas tend to wear quickly, revealing their age and use. Concrete, on the other hand, can withstand the same amount of foot traffic and more.
The most significant advantage of concrete is the ease with which it can be resurfaced with a different pattern or color to match your future renovation. Carpet, on the other hand, would have to be completely ripped up and replaced if you wanted to change the color of your flooring.
