Concrete Polishing FAQs
A High Performance Surface
Concrete polishing is a multi-step mechanical process that transforms ordinary concrete into a smooth, refined surface with a decorative finish. Our technicians begin by repairing any surface defects, then use progressively finer diamond-embedded grinding pads to gradually refine the surface. Throughout this process, we apply a chemical hardener (densifier) that penetrates the concrete to strengthen it from within. If desired, we can incorporate stains or dyes for color. Finally, we complete the polishing process to achieve your preferred sheen level and apply a protective sealer. This process effectively turns your utilitarian concrete slab into a sophisticated, high-performance floor without additional materials or coverings.
Very Adaptable!
Despite its glossy appearance, professionally polished concrete offers good slip resistance, even when wet. The polishing process creates microscopic pores that provide traction while maintaining a smooth appearance. In areas where additional slip resistance is needed, we can incorporate specialized anti-slip treatments without compromising aesthetics. Polished concrete works well in nearly any area, including kitchens, living spaces, basements, garages, and commercial environments. The only limitations might be areas with severe moisture issues or existing concrete in extremely poor condition, which we can evaluate during our initial consultation.
Great Question!
Polished concrete offers exceptional value when considering both initial installation and lifetime costs. Since we work with your existing concrete slab, there's no need for additional materials, significantly reducing costs. The initial investment typically falls between traditional vinyl flooring and high-end options like natural stone. Where polished concrete truly excels is in long-term value—it can last decades without replacement, while other flooring types might need replacement every 5-15 years. Additionally, the minimal maintenance requirements result in substantially lower lifetime costs, with no waxing, recoating, or special cleaners needed. This translates to reduced downtime and maintenance expenses for all property owners.
Not Much
Polished concrete floors are remarkably low-maintenance. For daily care, simply dust mop or use a microfiber cloth to remove loose debris. Weekly cleaning requires only a neutral pH cleaner and water—no harsh chemicals or special products. Unlike other hard surface floors, polished concrete never needs waxing, stripping, or recoating. For commercial spaces, standard janitorial services can easily maintain these floors with regular cleaning protocols. If high-traffic areas begin to show wear over time, the floor can be refreshed through a simple repolishing process rather than requiring full replacement. This minimal maintenance regimen saves time and money while extending the already impressive lifespan of your polished concrete floor.
