Industrial Polished Concrete

The aesthetics of polished concrete enhance any space, whether commercial or residential. Polished concrete lends a simple, clean, modern appeal to your floors.

If you’ve paid attention to the look of polished concrete floors, you’ve no doubt noticed how shiny and bright they appear. The shiny surface not only looks elegant and well-kept, but it also reflects light, naturally brightening the space and reducing the need for extra electric lighting.

Glossy, polished commercial concrete is strong and resistant to great pressure. It can stand up to even the harshest conditions, such as having forklifts and other heavy equipment running across them daily, without losing its shine.

 One of the most exciting traits of polished concrete is its ability to maintain its beautiful shine for years to come. Polished concrete floors can endure lots of footsteps and hold up against harsh conditions, while still retaining their gorgeous look without the need for waxing or other treatments. So, polished concrete is ideal for high-traffic industrial sites, retail buildings, and office spaces.

Polished commercial concrete can be customized in many ways. Concrete installers can add color with dyes and pigments. The concrete can also be made to mimic an elegant Terrazzo floor. The possibilities are wide-ranging and can suit many tastes.

Once the installation is complete, a properly created polished concrete floor is essentially finished for a lifetime. There’s no need to regularly touch up the shine with waxes, sealants, or other treatments. Simply sweep and wash the floor, and you’re done.

Because polished concrete floors don’t require the maintenance investments of other forms of flooring such as VCT and carpet property owners who invest in polished concrete can save on long-term maintenance costs.

Most flooring materials (wood, tile, carpet) in existing properties are installed over a concrete subfloor. And this subfloor can be used to create a polished concrete floor with the addition of a protective coating. This allows for convenient, eco-friendly use of existing concrete floors in remodeling projects, rather than manufacturing and installing new concrete.

Despite its shiny appearance, polished concrete isn’t slippery when dry. When treated with a slip-resistant coating, it will resist slipping as functionally as polished marble or granite.
