Polished Concrete: An “Easy” Choice
Polished concrete has become a popular option for floors in a wide range of spaces, especially high traffic areas. This sleek and durable flooring solution is created by grinding and polishing a concrete surface to achieve a smooth and glossy finish.
Designers not only love the aesthetic – they increasingly specify polished concrete due to other practical benefits as well.
Five Benefits of Polished Concrete Floors:
1. Low Maintenance
Needing only occasional cleaning with soap and water, polished concrete is an easy-to-maintain floor that doesn’t need harsh chemicals or back-breaking labor to stay clean and shiny.
2. Durability
Polished concrete is highly resistant to foot traffic and spills. This inherent longevity leads to cost savings.
3. Sustainability
With polished concrete, there’s never anything to send to the landfill, making it an eco-friendly option.
4. Resistance to Moisture
No one wants a floor-covering failure from moisture – you can eliminate that risk with polished concrete.
5. Light Reflection
As an added bonus, polished concrete’s finish has high reflectivity, essentially giving your space additional lighting, providing a warm and dynamic environment.
“Proper removal of existing flooring materials, accurate analysis of existing slab conditions, appropriate diamond tooling selection, and methodology on chemical treatment application can all contribute to the overall outcome of a polishing project. These factors can dramatically affect cost, duration, and overall quality of your finished product. Knowledge of this style of application, tempered with experience, is incredibly important due to the dynamic nature of the installation conditions we face. We possess that acumen, and will employ it to deliver durable, aesthetically pleasing floors every time, made to suit your needs.”
