Due to my cheetah like speed the Humans knew that the Habitat had to have a durable floor. We ended up with polished concrete floors which are practically indestructible. Not only does it add character to the minimalist look of the Habitat, but it is also sustainable. By acting as a foundation slab and finished floor (conservation of material), it also adds to the energy efficiency of the Habitat. The Habitat has in-floor heat, making a nice warm surface for the winter. In the summer the slab cools and acts as a giant AC unit. Both heating and cooling with out a forced air system. To read more about the polishing process and see a few more pictures of the slab click HERE.

The concrete was polished one step at a time as you would sand wood. A six hundred pound machine with diamond bits ground the floor in six different passes. On each pass the floor was ground down making it hard and smooth like marble. Quite the process but 100% worth it, providing a great heating and cooling source as well as a nearly zero-maintenance floor.

The floors are yearning to be skated.

Rough concrete, to shiny goodness

The infamous crack. I personally love the crack, secret heat source for those afternoon naps.

Getting excited to run laps.
