Concrete has long been a highly desired surface for retail, restaurant and office settings – providing a durable finish along with a cool, urban aesthetic that contrasts perfectly with woods, metals and literally any colour.

Architects and interior designers however are often restricted in its use due to sub floor issues, spiralling costs and tight installation programmes.

That's why Concreate floor panels, a new type of concrete flooring product, are increasingly becoming the concrete surface of choice for commercial fit-outs.

The pre-cast, lightweight, polished concrete floor panels can be laid on virtually any subfloor, mezzanine or level. Concreate flooring is ready for installation straight out of the box, and featuring a simple tongue and groove installation method a concrete floor can become a reality in a day.

Once installed they offer an incredibly durable surface that delivers a soft texture underfoot. On top of that they are environmentally friendly, slip, fire and water resistant, easy to clean and maintain and available in five stylish shades.

Another key consideration in commercial spaces is acoustics and Concreate flooring has excellent built-in acoustic properties along with super efficient thermal properties, storing passive heat during the winter and working efficiently with modern under-floor heating systems.
