Polish a Foundation of Curb Appeal
There’s concrete - and there’s polished concrete. And when it comes to your flooring, the latter option is the only option.
Polished concrete diverges from conventional concrete in a few key ways - and most of it is connected to the concrete polishing process.
With our professional approach, you aren’t just getting a flooring option - you’re getting the industry’s best. Concrete Reflections has years of experience providing concrete polishing finishes, such as medium aggregate and cream finish polishing, through our 10-step process.
The Concrete Reflections 10-Step Process
Most pre-treatment concrete flooring contains stains, residue, and pitting. We pinpoint problem areas and identify space for improvement.
Our technology uses coarse diamonds bonded in metal to remove eyesores from your flooring.
Depending on the condition of your flooring, our team will apply 3 to 4 grinding treatments to the surface.
Our metal bonded diamonds continue to work their magic on your flooring to create a smooth, clean surface.
Our concrete sealant densifies the surface to provide added protection and prevent dusting.
The final step is the most transformative. Our technology behaves in the same way sanding might: it uses fine-grain grit to sand the surface to perfection.
Polished Concrete: The Floor of the Future
Beautiful. High quality. Easy to maintain. Safe. Durable. There are a lot of things to love about a polished concrete floor - and we bring all the benefits to you. Polished concrete incorporates the functionality of concrete and the stylistic power of modern design.
There’s a reason that designers and flooring manufacturers alike project that concrete flooring will be the “floor of the future.” It delivers all the qualities we need. And it ensures we’re getting the best from our property…starting from the bottom up.
What's the Difference Between Polished Concrete and Chemical Coatings?
When choosing a flooring option, it’s important to understand the benefit of polished concrete over other common coatings.
Appearance & Longevity:
Diamond-polished concrete delivers a durable, attractive finish similar to what you see in major retailers like Home Depot or Lowe’s. Unlike epoxy coatings, polished concrete achieves its shine through mechanical polishing, not with a clear coat that can wear down and peel over time. Epoxy floors rely on a clear coat for shine, but this layer doesn't last nearly as long as a polished concrete finish.
Durability:
Polished concrete is renowned as one of the most durable flooring options available. Its surface can withstand heavy foot traffic, making it ideal for a vast range of uses.
Environmental & Health Safety:
The polished concrete process does not use any harsh chemicals or produce toxic fumes, creating a safe, clean environment both during and after installation.
Moisture & Stain Protection:
Epoxy coatings are only necessary if you need an absolute, impermeable barrier that prevents any stains or liquids from penetrating the concrete. However, this also means epoxy does not allow the floor to "breathe," which can sometimes lead to issues with moisture trapped beneath the surface.
Polished concrete offers a long-lasting, eco-friendly, and beautiful floor without the downsides of clear coat maintenance or chemical exposure. For most situations, polished concrete is the superior choice in durability, safety, and longevity.
