Concrete floors in the home is something that should be seriously considered before making that investment. If possible, find somewhere that has a concrete floor that you can spend some time in. Take notice of how the floor makes you feel.

In commercial applications, though, there are not many downfalls. As you mention, it is more cost effective than other types of flooring, and it looks spectacular when finished.

As with anything other type of commercial flooring, you’ll want to take precaution to avoid slips and falls – such as rubber mats in high traffic or high-moisture areas.

I would not specify concrete floors for the senior center, as a designer. Although there are matte finishes that make it less slippery when wet, there are other factors to consider. A floor with more cushion would be senior-friendly: laminates and even vinyl might be a consideration. Creative new styles in vinyl make it worth researching for your project. It’s warm, inviting, easier to stand on, and wheelchair friendly. Hope that is helpful…

Would you use concrete floor in a senior center?
When the floor gets wet is it slick how safe is it for our seniors who stand to play pool? and are in walkers and wheel chairs?

I live in the Los Angeles area and I have been looking for the materials to add a concrete floor to my bathroom. All I find online are contractors but I just need the right material for the Job. I know there is a special concrete that is purposely for indoor use. Can you lead me to a vendor where I can find it? Thanks!
