The Benefits Of Polished Concrete Systems
The Experts On Top
So why should you use polished concrete in your commercial or industrial application? Well, concrete polishing offers benefits that cannot be obtained with traditional styles of flooring and our team can maximize your floorings potential with our experience and state of the art installation methods. Need flooring that is resistant to wear, chemicals and age? Polished concrete offers it all to help keep your company on track, not worried about the floor it has to operate on! Down below, you will find a few of the best benefits of using polished concrete.
Low Maintenance
One of the biggest benefits of having a polished concrete flooring system is that they are one of the easiest and most efficient flooring systems to maintain. In commercial and industrial cases, you will spend more time dusting the flooring than actually worrying about long term maintenance that takes time and effort.
Maintaining the system is as easy as using microfiber brooms to remove dust, cleaning spills ASAP, sweeping with a soft bristle broom daily and mopping the flooring weekly with a non-acidic cleaner, PH neutral detergents are recommended.
Seamless & Hygienic
Polished concrete is the go-to flooring system for operations like medical facilities, food processing plants and warehouses alike for one main reason, its hygienic. Due to the seamless nature of polished concrete, it makes the storage and transmission of germs, bacteria, and viruses almost impossible when cleaned properly!
Because of its seamless nature, it also eliminates flooring related tripping hazards, making the flooring safe and easy to walk on. Moreover, the seamless flooring reflects light efficiently, making any obstruction on the flooring easier to spot and eliminate.
Resistance To Wear & Tear
While a flooring system that looks great when it is first installed is amazing in theory, a flooring system that can maintain its like-new appearance throughout its entire service life is a flooring that is better than all! Polished concrete is ultra-durable, making it nearly impossible to be defaced permanently.
Our concrete polishing can help reduce the tear that heavy vehicle traffic, chemical spills, and heavy foot traffic can have on your flooring. Thanks to the way we install the flooring, it’s also resistant to water damage!
Chemical Resistance
In the commercial and industrial realm, we all know the number of harsh chemicals that you may use or store daily. While we know that you try to keep these accidents from occurring, a chemical spill can happen at any time and you need to be protected.
Our polished concrete systems are enhanced with a concrete hardener, filling the pores of the concrete. This means no liquids will be absorbed into the concrete, avoiding chemical exposure and at the same time, making spills easier to clean.
Lifetime Service
When you’re a business owner taking every measure to keep your company in the black, the last thing you want to worry about is replacing your flooring every few years. That is what makes our flooring such an attractive option, it can last a lifetime!
In most cases, our polished concrete fails only when the concrete slab it is placed on fails and from acts of man. This is why you should polish your concrete 30 days after its installed, getting the most out of your investment.

FAQs
Need some questions answered before you make the call? Down below, you will find answers to the most common questions we receive!
Can Concrete Polishing Remove Oil Stains?
This is a tricky question. While our technicians can remove almost any stain from the surface of the concrete before grinding, there may be a few stains that persist through our treatments.
But if the stain persists, there is always a chance that the grinding of the concrete can dull the stain if not completely remove it. If you know what the stain is from, it will likely enhance the chance that we can remove it.
Can Damaged Concrete Be Polished?
Our team is trained and has experience in the repair of the concrete substrate before we grind the floor for polishing. In most cases, small cracks, gouges, and weathering can be repaired by our technicians but in cases where the concrete has sustained structural damage, the concrete may not be repaired. While it is hard to tell with the untrained eye, we will be more than happy to come to you and see if we can work with your concrete.
Can Color Be Added To Polished Concrete?
Yes! Our team is more than happy to help with the customization of your polished concrete. While we have covered a few of the options you have above, we will be taking a closer look into the customization of our polished concrete systems:
Color- We offer additives that will pigment the concrete as we tear away layers, reacting differently with the different components of the concrete with stains.
Levels- With concrete polishing, there are different levels of exposure that can be accomplished ranging from cream; minimal aggregate exposure, to the exposure of larger levels and even random aggregate exposure.
Decals & Sawcutting- We offer the ability to have custom finishes placed into the polished finish. We also offer saw cutting, the process of fine cuts being placed into the concrete to form intricate designs.
