other similar environments, visually-appealing floors are a must. Even though you might think of floors as just for walking on, customers view them as part of the whole decor. That means even a dirty or worn down floor can keep them from buying or returning. Polished concrete offers you the opportunity to rejuvenate the floor you already have.
What Is Polished Concrete?
Polished concrete is completed with running a special concrete grinding machine with special diamond grinding attachments over the floor. The machine makes several passes over the floor with different grits of diamonds. The polished concrete can be classic gray or a different color of your choosing. This process creates an increased abrasion and impact resistance. The result is a long-lasting, durable floor that is easy to maintain. You get a permanently polished floor that requires no monthly waxing and can easily be mopped or machine scrubbed.
Added Benefits
Polished concrete offers a cost-effective, yet highly functional flooring option for your business. It creates a high-shine, premium looking floor that still meets slip-resistance standards set by the ADA and OHSA. Though the gloss may look slippery, it is the first concrete floor polishing system approved by the National Floor Safety Institute as a “high traction” floor. That means you receive fashion plus function!
In addition, the US Green Building Council acknowledges concrete polishing as a contributing step to becoming LEED Certified. That’s because it eliminates the disposal of coatings and reduces the water and electricity it would take with more frequent cleaning. If you want to make your business green, then this is a great step in the right direction.
