Benefits

  • Beautiful – Polished concrete creates a look competitive with natural stone flooring
  • Lasting solution – There is nothing to chip, peel or wear off as epoxy and sealers can
  • Coating free – Because there are no coatings to cure, the floor is ready for immediate use
  • Minimal maintenance – Just sweep and mop…strippers and waxes are never used
  • Green – A significant number of LEED points are available from polished concrete
  • Increased Durability – Our densifier/sealer will harden and dustproof the concrete
  • Tough – Foot traffic, forklift tires, vehicles, pallets, etc. do not damage polished concrete
  • Safe – Wet or dry, it meets or exceeds all OSHA slip resistance standards

Comparison of Polished Concrete to other flooring options

Polished concrete is a superior alternative to VCT, vinyl, epoxy, acid stain, stain & seal, and ceramic tile.  Below are some of the issues associated with each floor.

  • VCT and vinyl flooring – requires constant maintenance…strip, wax and buff
  • Epoxy and paints – problematic in high moisture areas – can chip or peel off floor
  • Stain & Seal – not durable, subject to wear patters – sealer needs to be reapplied periodically
  • Ceramic tile – more expensive than polished concrete – grout cleaning is a constant issue
