Polished Concrete Floors
Polished floors are easy to clean, requiring only occasional damp mopping. They also eliminate the need for messy waxes or coatings as well as associated labor, time, and expenses to apply them. The glossy surface of polished concrete resists the marks of forklift truck tires and staining from oil and chemical spills.
Resistant to moisture transmission issues: Polished concrete allows the floor to breathe and eliminate the issues that arise with other flooring materials that seal off the concrete, such as tile, etc.
Almost any structurally sound concrete floor, whether old or new, can be polished with proper preparation.
