Professionalism + Quality
Our Process
1)
Floor Prep: removal of coatings: paint, sealers, wax, etc.
2)
Metal Cuts: floor is ground smooth using metal bond diamond-pads.
3)
Densification: chemical densifier is added to strengthen and dustproof the floor, as well as increase scratch and abrasion resistance.
4)
Polishing Cut: Resin bond diamond pads polish the floor to the desired level of shine and reflection
5)
Color: an option to dye the floor to the customer’s liking is also available.
About Polished Concrete
More retail, restaurant, warehouse, fleet management and office facilities are opting for polished concrete flooring as an alternative to marble, granite, tile, vct, wood, linoleum, or coated concrete. Even homeowners are catching on to the appeal of these smooth, high-luster floors, which can be stained to replicate the look of polished stone.
What is Polished Concrete?
Polished concrete is concrete that has been processed through a series of mechanical “polishing/grinding” steps using specially designed, professional equipment. This process also includes the use of concrete densifier/hardener which penetrates into the concrete and creates a chemical reaction to help harden and dustproof surfaces. During concrete polishing, the surface is processed through a series of steps (in general a minimum of 6-8 grinding steps of processing is considered polished concrete) utilizing progressively finer grinding tools. The grinding tools are progressive grits of industrial diamonds in a bonded material such as metal/hybrid/resin often referred to as diamond polishing pads.
Concrete is not considered polished before 800 grit, and it is normally finished to either the 800, 1500, or 3000 grit level. Dyes designed for concrete polishing are often applied to add color to polished concrete as well as other options such as scoring, creating radial lines, grids, bands, borders, and other designs.
Why Choose Polished Concrete Flooring?
Simply put, a polished concrete floor system transforms a porous concrete floor into a tightened surface, dense enough to keep water, oil, and other contaminants from penetrating the surface.
Elegant and Attractive
Looks amazing & professional. It can be dyed to match any color scheme. Polished Concrete, much like marble, never goes out of style.
Very Strong and Durable
Extremely tough and resistant, and is able to withstand the pressure and weight from heavy equipment. Surface cannot be easily scratched.
Less Maintenance
Polished Concrete requires minimal maintenance and is very easy to clean. No more extensive scrubbing or constant refinishing with wax.
Extended Long Life Span
Properly maintained polished concrete floor can last years. Refurbish needs a fraction of the cost of other systems, extending the life much farther.
Highly Cost Effective
Most polished concrete floor installations are quite cost-effective. The savings are even more significant if you factor in maintenance costs over lifetime .
Hygiene Friendly
Properly polished concrete can be virtually resistant to fluids, providing waterproof barriers to prevent contaminants from getting to the concrete.
Minimum Downtime
Polished concrete areas can be put into service immediately after process is complete. It can also be installed while the facility is still in full production.
Better Ambient Lighting
The High light reflectivity is another important benefit, especially for office, stores, restaurants etc., to project a bright, clean, professional image.
