Benefits of Polished Concrete:
Less maintenance
Polished concrete floors are easy to clean. With daily dust mopping and quick clean-up of spills, polished concrete floors can maintain their spotless shine for the lifetime of the floors.
Longer service life
There is no need for the application of waxes or coatings. Additionally, polished concrete floors are harder, stronger, and more durable. There’s no chipping or peeling, polished concrete will retain its beautiful shine for years to come.
Resistant to moisture transmission issues
Polished concrete is not sealed. This allows the concrete to breathe, eliminating the moisture issues that can happen with other concrete flooring solutions.
Resistant to marking
Concrete polishing creates a harder concrete surface that shows no wear after years of foot traffic. It can also withstand tire marks often caused by forklifts and other vehicles on other types of flooring.
Cost savings
No epoxy or urethane needed. Concrete polishing uses only diamond head grinders for a one-time, smooth finish. Money is also saved by the reduced need for regular upkeep (such as waxing) and reduced wear.
High light reflectiveness
Concrete polishing creates a clean, professional surface. In addition to looking beautiful, this reflective surface can also decrease your electricity bill.
Environmentally sustainable
No hazardous coatings, cleaners, or adhesives are used in concrete polishing. Instead, concrete polishing is a natural process that uses diamonds to grind and smooth the floor.
Eliminate dusting from floors
Unpolished concrete floors allow small particles of dust to push to the surface of the concrete floors. This is one of the reasons epoxy floors don’t last as long as polished concrete, the epoxy is loosened by the dust particles and flakes. The reduced level of dust on the floors also results in a cleaner facility.
Stain resistant
Concrete polishing creates a more dense, sealed surface. This surface repels water, oil, and other liquids. When liquids are unable to penetrate the surface, they cannot stain.
Increased slip resistance
While polished concrete looks shiny, it is not slippery. Our process increases the coefficient of friction when compared to ordinary concrete. As a result, polished concrete exceeds OSHA standards for floors.
Low/No VOC
Polished concrete floors have no noticeable VOC emissions as the process uses no harsh chemicals. This likely creates a healthier environment for those using the space with polished concrete floors.
