Concrete Alternative for Allergen Sensitivities
April 2, 2009
Concrete as a healthy building material
“Its been reported that indoor air pollution is the cause of up to 50% of illnesses. Common sources of this pollution include out gassing from toxic paints and finishes, carpeting, manufactured wood products containing glues high in formaldehyde and cleaning products.
Carpeting is one of the worst offenders. New synthetic carpeting can outgas over 100 different volatile organic compounds (VOCs). And whether made of synthetic or natural materials, carpet is difficult to clean and becomes a haven for dust particles, pollutants, and bacterial growth. Tens of millions of microorganisms can be found in a square foot of carpeting. Carpet can also be a major source of mold, especially if it becomes wet and the water isn’t removed completely.
Clean environments, free of dust, mildew and other pollutants can be achieved with interior concrete floors. Concrete floors, stained with nontoxic pigments to be aesthetically appealing, are a healthier alternative to carpeting because they do not emit harmful VOCs and are easy to sweep clean.”
(Excerpt from ‘Why Concrete Is A Healthy Alternative’ by Anne Balogh of The Concrete Network)
Green Concrete Countertops?
March 30, 2009
CONCRETE — A “GREEN” BUILDING ALTERNATIVE
Making concrete countertops and surfaces locally is a sustainable and green alternative. Compare the carbon footprint of concrete to granite which is quarried in Italy, hauled to China to be polished, then shipped to the United states, and finally trucked to a person’s residence. The materials in concrete are typically all harvested within a local 100 mile radius of a person’s home. Additionally, if a different finishing is preferred in the future, resurfacing can be an effective solution during a remodel avoiding a tear out and eliminating landfill waste. And, if removal is necessary, concrete is a recyclable material.

Epoxy Decorative and Waterproof Floor Coatings
March 20, 2009
Another advantage of decorative epoxy coatings and overlays is that they’re waterproof. So, for instance, if you have a multi-level home, surfacing your bath or laundry room with a seamless waterproof overlay material will create not only a solid durable decorative surface but eliminate the huge potential mess or damage from water seeping below the surface or to lower level floors in the event of minor unexpected “floods” or overflows.
