Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Common Room flooring

[whitney (whitneybeers]

I have a concrete floor in the activity room/studio at Brindledorf - used an 
acid treatment on it - and it's gorgeous AND won't need replacing or even more 
than a mop!

Here at Santa Rosa Creek Commons, we sometimes use our laundry room as 
a Commons Room .  After 23 years, the original vinyl needs replacing.   
We liked Vinyl Tiles the best until we were told they needed to be 
buffed at least once a year and how much that would cost.  Remember all 
those school corridors that were buffed so shiny on the first day of 
school?  Buffing apparently extends the durability of the tiles.   So 
now we are going to use commercial sheet vinyl.  From personal 
experience and to diminish cost, I would recommend against coving.

Have you considered just finishing the concrete?
