For those living with upper respiratory complications such as asthma or allergies, indoor air quality is a top priority in your home. And fortunately for them, there are several options for improving and maintaining a healthy indoor air environment. Homeowners have turned to purchasing and installing hospital grade humidifiers, air ducts, air purifiers, filters, and more to remove airborne pollutants and persistent dust. But what many do not know is that there is also an option for anti-allergic floors! Indoor concrete floors are a great option for homeowners with upper respiratory tract or children with upper respiratory tract conditions. Read on to find out why!
Better than carpet and tile combined
Carpets are one of the most common household staples that retain dust, pollen, mold, dander, and more, all of which irritate and complicate upper respiratory conditions like asthma and allergies. They trap these contaminants in large quantities and are not completely removed by routine aspiration. Tiles are as bad as carpets at collecting large amounts of dust, dander, and other interior pollutants. Dust and more piles on top of tiles, and even with a regular mop, builds up inside the grout and is difficult to remove without intensive scrubbing and cleaning.
Elegant and versatile
Not only are concrete floors a fantastic alternative to allergy-enhancing flooring like tile and carpet, they’re inexpensive and extremely versatile in terms of style! Over the past decade, concrete flooring has become so popular with home and business owners; So much so that today there are infinite colors, styles, designs, textures and more to choose from. So you don’t have to worry about your kitchen or basement looking like a standard gray warehouse floor! Indoor concrete floors can be installed to resemble high-quality items like bricks, pavers, marble, and more, all for a lower price.
Impenetrable and anti-allergic floors
Decorative interior concrete floors are impenetrable because they are sealed with a clear protective coating. This makes it impossible for dust, dander, pollen, mold, bacteria, dust mites, and other contaminants to stay inside, causing irritation to allergies and respiratory problems. It’s also much easier to clean and maintain, further reducing the ability of airborne pollutants and foot traffic to linger.
