Interior concrete floors tend to be cooler regardless their location, but not like outdoor concrete. In new construction, particularly loft renovations, etc., concrete flooring is heated, which makes it cozy. A concrete floor in Washington is no different than a concrete floor in Florida or Texas. It has more to do with construction, the heating system and insulation of the house.l

The benefits of concrete floors in a basement are durability, low maintenance and versatility. You can easily cover the concrete with any material later on.

Reinforced concrete floors can be designed for a wide range of loads. Different thicknesses and shapes of concrete and arrangements of reinforcing will have different strengths.

Floors can be made of a number of materials, such as hardwood, stone, ceramic tiles, plywood covered with carpet or laminated or veneer tiles. In homes with concrete foundations the floors are concrete, but are covered with carpet, laminate, or tiles.
