Polished Concrete Floors: Worth the Investment?

Figuring out how much it will cost to polish your concrete floors is a simple matter of inviting a flooring expert from Xtreme Flooring Systems to your business to create an estimate. Deciding whether all of the benefits of a polished concrete floor are worth the investment is a bit more complicated.
Consider The Longevity of Polished Concrete
Well cared for polished concrete floors last longer than other flooring options. Since they aren’t as vulnerable to damage from spills, chemicals, oils, and abrasion, the overall lifespan of a polished concrete floor is much longer than vinyl or ceramic tile, carpet, and other floor coverings.
Polished Concrete Floors Help Reduce The Overall Cost of Heating And Cooling a Building
Polished concrete floors are highly reflective. This helps reduce the need for artificial overhead lighting. Concrete also works as a heat-sink, so a large area of concrete exposed to sunlight absorbs heat during the day and releases it at night, which reduces the need for artificial heating methods.
Eliminate The Need for Expensive Maintenance Programs
Polished concrete floors require little, if any, additional money to maintain. A simple treatment with a damp mop is all that’s needed to maintain the high-shine surface even in high traffic areas. Waxing and stripping floors requires a maintenance contract, equipment, and supplies. The easy to care for surface of polished concrete delivers a surface that can withstand even the stress of tires and messy spills.
Especially in large spaces, a polished concrete floor is a great investment. The time and money saved on maintenance alone makes this a wise choice. If the floor is badly cracked or requires repair services before the grinding and polishing process, the cost may increase. Additional services such as dye or specialty sealers also add to the overall cost of the project. Your Xtreme Flooring Systems consultant will discuss every aspect of the estimate with you in detail.
