POLISHED CONCRETE
Sleek, shiny, and easy to maintain, professionally polished concrete is renowned for its durability, sustainability, and light reflectivity. Added densifiers to the polishing process makes polished concrete floors extremely strong, resilient and able to withstand pressure from heavy equipment and high foot traffic. To provide a dust free, chemical resistant, and safe working environment polished concrete has been a commercial and industrial flooring solution for years. These benefits along with the longevity and beauty of polished concrete whether polished down to expose the aggregate for a natural look or colored with a stain or dye, the decorative possibilities have made it a popular residential alternative to traditional flooring.
ADVANTAGES OF POLISHED CONCRETE
-
Ultra Durable - Densified polished concrete results in a high-performance flooring that is extremely strong, resilient, and ideal for any use including vehicles, heavy equipment, forklifts and high-volume foot traffic. Extremely difficult to damage, polished concrete is nearly impossible to chip or scratch.
-
Chemical & Stain Resistant - By densifying and sealing the surface, polished concrete transforms a porous concrete floor into a tightened floor that is dense enough to repel water, oil, and other contaminants, preventing them from penetrating the surface.
-
Dust Free - Polished concrete utilizes penetrating sealers so there is nothing topical to wear off.
-
Slip Resistant - Can be sealed with a non-slip resinous coating to add texture and prevent falls and injuries.
-
Low Maintenance - Smooth with few seams other than expansion joints, labor costs are minimal to clean and maintain because there is no waxing, coating or stripping methods needed.
-
Enhanced lighting and reduced energy cost - Reflection from polished concrete increases lighting and brightness which will reduce energy costs.
-
Aesthetically Pleasing – Multitude of design and color options.
-
Economical - Professionally installed, sealed, and maintained polished concrete floors can be expected to last a hundred years or more in even the harshest commercial environments. Its life span will also far surpass that of other floor coverings, such as carpeting, vinyl tile and wood laminates. That means in the long run you can save money because you will never need to remove and replace worn or damaged flooring.
-
Quick Return to Service – Polished concreate floors can be used almost immediately without downtime.
-
No VOC - Concrete floors do not contain harmful Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) like hardwood floors, vinyl carpets and synthetic carpets.
