Concrete Polishing
Polished concrete is a trendy and durable flooring option that is gaining popularity in both residential and commercial settings. The process involves grinding down the surface of the concrete to reveal aggregate, followed by polishing with chemical densifiers and diamond abrasives. This not only improves the appearance of the concrete but also increases its durability and resistance to staining.
While initially more expensive than traditional flooring options, polished concrete can save money in the long run due to its low maintenance and long lifespan. In addition, it is an eco-friendly choice as it does not require the production and installation of additional materials such as carpet or tile.
The most premium and the longest-lasting option is mechanically grinding and polishing your concrete flooring with diamond segments, then with resin pads to shine the surface of the concrete itself to a matte, satin, gloss or high-gloss finish.
Relying on polished concrete finishes, rather than a resin, for this stone-like finish means results are permanent and resistant to many types of damage, including scratching, heat, staining and ultraviolet light degradation.
