If you manage an apartment building in Minnesota, you already know how much abuse your flooring takes — from tenants tracking in mud, snow, and salt to heavy daily foot traffic. Traditional options like carpet, wood, or vinyl wear out fast and require frequent replacement.

That’s why more property managers are turning to concrete floors. The ideal combination of durability, energy efficiency, and modern design flexibility, concrete is a cost-effective, long-term flooring solution for apartments across Minnesota.

At ACT Restoration in Andover, our experts specialize in transforming plain concrete into beautiful, functional floors that enhance both tenant satisfaction and property value. 

Here’s why we think concrete flooring stands out from the rest!

Unmatched Durability for Minnesota’s Climate

From icy winters to humid summers, Minnesota’s extreme weather can quickly wear down typical apartment flooring. Concrete, however, stands up to it all.

A properly sealed and maintained concrete floor resists:

  • Wear and tear from heavy use, furniture movement, and salt or dirt.
  • Moisture damage and freeze-thaw cycles common in Minnesota.
  • Scratches, dents, and stains, reducing replacement costs over time.

Unlike other flooring types, sealed concrete also won’t trap odors or stains from pets, spills, or cooking, keeping apartments fresher, longer.

Energy Efficiency That Pays Off Year-Round

Concrete floors naturally support better energy efficiency — a must in Minnesota’s climate.

Thanks to their high thermal mass, concrete floors absorb and store heat during the day, then slowly release it at night. 

  • In winter, this helps maintain warmth, especially when paired with radiant floor heating. 
  • In the summer, concrete floors stay cool, reducing the need for air conditioning. 

The result? More stable indoor temperatures and lower energy bills for both property owners and residents.

Stylish, Modern, & Customizable Design Options

Concrete flooring today is anything but dull or industrial. With endless design possibilities, you can achieve a high-end appearance without high-end maintenance.

Modern finishing techniques let you create a range of stylish looks to suit any apartment aesthetic:

  • Polished concrete: Sleek, reflective, and sophisticated.
  • Decorative coatings or stains: Custom colors, patterns, or finishes that mimic stone, tile, or wood.
  • Neutral matte finishes: A simple, clean backdrop that complements any decor style.

Healthier, Low-Maintenance Living

Concrete floors are not only practical; they also contribute to a healthier indoor environment. 

  • Unlike carpet, they don’t trap dust, allergens, or pet dander.
  • Their non-porous surface prevents mold or mildew growth. 
  • They also emit low levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds), improving air quality.

Maintenance is simple: sweep, mop, and reseal occasionally — no professional cleaning or refinishing required.
