Polished concrete floor,Charlotte,NCRaw concrete is not a very attractive surface in itself. It is rather unpleasant to the touch, which does not make you want to walk barefoot or sit on it. In addition, its roughness and porosity make it easy to stain and difficult to clean.
However, the concrete polishing technique solves these problems easily by making the surface smooth, uniform, water-resistant and pleasant. At the same time, this method allows to keep the urban and sober aspect of concrete. All this at a lower price than epoxy! The multi-step process is carried out using a diamond polishing wheel and liquid additives to polish the surface. The concrete polishing technique is generally used on large industrial or commercial surfaces, such as warehouses or stores. However, if you want this finish in a room of your home, it is also possible. |

Advantages
The technique allows you to polish an old concrete floor as well as a new slab, without having to put an additional coating on it. Here are the many positive points of this method:
|
-Polished concrete is solid and wear-resistant. It is therefore perfect for high-traffic areas.
-This material stands out from other types of coating because of its superior durability. -This trendy floor is an eye-catcher. It is smooth, shiny, refined and modern. -Its durability makes it an economical choice. It is less expensive in the long term than other options that require a lot of maintenance or that deteriorate quickly. It is also more affordable than epoxy. -Polished concrete is versatile. It can be declined in a multitude of colors or patterns to fit any decor. From bright colors to more classic shades, several options are available. |
-Polished concrete is an environmentally friendly choice. Concrete is made of natural materials and the polishing process consumes less energy than other flooring solutions.
-This floor requires very little maintenance. In a busy environment, buffing can be repeated every five years to maintain the floor's luster. You can extend its longevity indefinitely. -This surface is easy to clean, since dust and other impurities do not adhere to it. Simply wash it with water, a pH neutral soap and a mop, or vacuum it. -The floor has non-slip properties, even when wet. -The polished surface improves the reflectivity of the floor and allows more natural light into the room. |
Process
Whether the surface is an existing concrete floor or a new concrete slab, different steps will be performed depending on its condition. This includes the presence of contaminants, moisture content, flatness, leveling and other general concrete conditions.
Following the surface evaluation, the technique consists of polishing the slab with a diamond polishing wheel. Layers of concrete are removed one after the other, in order to get rid of the irregularities and to remove previously applied coatings. In addition, the diamond polishing wheel removes the brittle parts of the concrete surface to expose the underlying layer, which is stronger and more resistant.
Several passages are made with the diamond polishing wheel, depending on the wanted result. This creates a perfectly smooth surface, erases polishing marks and achieves the desired level of gloss. The higher the number of polishing, the more the surface will become shiny and will reflect light. This also prevents dirt and marks from adhering to it.
The dust resulting from this diamond polishing technique is immediately vacuumed up, resulting in less inconvenience and waste in your home than other types of coating processes.
We then use a high-quality sealer, which will protect the concrete surface. The application of a sealer will lower maintenance costs by reducing the frequency of polishing.
