What are Concrete Polishing Services?
In addition, to looking aesthetically pleasing, your flooring must be able to handle the everyday wear and tear from the heavy traffic your business receives. Flooring is one of the most vital portions of your office, restaurant, or retail space. Concrete polishing helps your floor retain its shine. With our eco-friendly chemical solutions and industry-leading tools, we quickly restore your floor to its original glory. We offer two different types of concrete polishing to bring you the best options possible:
Diamond Concrete Polishing: The more popular of the two options, this technique involves starting with a chemical identifier then moving onto grinding tools with diamond-coated pads to wear down the concrete easier. We hook our grinders to a Pulse-Bac vacuum system to help control the amount of dust throughout the process. When working in your space, we aim to keep it as clean as possible. We leave it looking brand-new once finished. Once we get past the 400-level grit, your floor is considered polished. At Specialty Coatings, though, we take 800, 1500, or 3000 grit levels based on your preference. Finally, we add your chosen stains or dyes to enhance your polished surface.
Acid Stained Concrete Polishing: By applying a mixture of water, salts, and acid to your concrete surface, it creates a chemical reaction to achieve its color. We later neutralize it with a basic solution of ammonia and water. Due to it being a chemical reaction, there is no way to control the exact color, but we can work it until we achieve the most desirable. Also, exterior surfaces require more passes with the mixture to penetrate. Another important note is, exposed aggregate (rocks) in worn concrete will not accept the staining mixture, but we will happily help you find the right solution.
Benefits of Concrete Polishing For Your Flooring
One of the most significant benefits of choosing concrete flooring for your business or home is the amount you save in energy costs thanks to it creating thermal mass. No matter why you decide to install them, though, you can count on us to make it look its best. Below are some of the other benefits
- Your concrete floor will be anti-static
- Changing environments will not harm the surface
- Complete chemical resistance
- Our concrete polishing is eco-friendly and heavy-duty
- Hot temperature ready and moisture mitigating
- UV-cured floor
- Slip-resistant—especially important for warehouse and laboratories
Maintenance Tips and Tricks for Your Polished Concrete Floors
Once we finish your project, our well-trained and experienced staff will help with maintenance tasks for you to perform to keep it looking fabulous. The best way to keep your flooring clean is to simply use soapy water and a mop at least once a week. This will remove dirt and grime to prevent further damage such as scuffs and scratches.
