The Benefits Of Concrete Flooring
In an age of tile and wood-style flooring, concrete flooring doesn’t always get the kudos it deserves. Royalty has a quick list of the great reasons to consider upgrading your concrete flooring today!
Low-Maintenance
As-needed sweeping and a weekly mop is all concrete floors require as far as maintenance. Royalty will properly seal any stains or designs to protect them, so all you have to do is a quick clean. No fancy brooms, no expensive specialty products…just a little soapy water and a mop!
Versatility
Any number of looks can be completed with concrete flooring, from glossy to matte finishes. The high shine “wet” appearance can create a marble or granite illusion and more matte finishes can create a softer look. Just ask us how!
Uniqueness
Most concrete floors are poured at the time a house is built. While there will be some cracks due to settling and time, these imperfections are actually a huge bonus for creating unique looks! No other home or office will have the same appearance.
Cost Savings
Natural hardwood and some tiles like travertine are incredibly expensive. Since concrete is already part of your home’s architecture, it’s just a matter of adding some polish and elbow grease to create an amazing look. The price difference between using your existing structure and having to pay for new materials can be substantial!
Sustainability
Concrete can LAST! No need to worry about spilling red wine on it like you would for carpet or about indoor pets scratching your hardwood. It’s incredibly durable and with a professional, it will be made to last.

Painted Floors
Should You Paint Your Floors or is that Cray Cray?
The new trend is painted floors. They are striking, fascinating and well…awesome. People will walk in your room and gasp…and say, “ We love your floors and you will pat yourself on the back and know that you are the trendsetter in the neighborhood! However, a poorly prepped and painted floor will make you home look like the a “Pinterest Fail.”
Here is the sure way to make them great and not a fail. If your wood floors are in bad shape & need to be re-done anyway then you should go for it and not feel guilty! Painted wood floors can be elegant or funky, bold or understated. They are really versatile. Thing is, this trend is not forany house, any room and it works in some houses, some rooms, somespaces.
My very general guidelines for the go ahead on painting your wood floors is for use in:
- cabins
- beachy, rustic, or old (100+ yr old) homes
- eclectic, one-of-a-kind homes
- artist, designer, or photographer homes & studio spaces
- guest houses
- very contemporary homes
- offices
- kids rooms and play rooms
- sitting rooms
If your space doesn’t fit into any of those categories, traditional flooring is probably best. But if you are looking to make a statement in a room and want more than a bold paint color, painted floors might be the answer!
