Polished concrete floor,Rock Hill,NC

You want a covering for your concrete floors, that would have most of the advantages of an epoxy coating, but at a more affordable price and with a better longevity?

Yes, this ideal solution does exist: polished concrete!

You will love this low-maintenance flooring with a stone-style appearance.

​You have probably already seen polished concrete floors in commercial or industrial environments.

​Did you know that you can also benefit from them inside and outside your home? ​

Advantages

Concrete floor polishing is a technique that offers many advantages for both new and old slabs.  

Pleasant texture

​Its smooth and pleasant to the touch texture makes the surface much more comfortable than rough concrete. You will be able to walk on it barefoot and sit on the floor if you wish. Moreover, this surface has anti-slip properties! These features make polished concrete perfect for the terrace or pool surround, or the children's playroom in the basement. In addition, these areas of your property will become much more visually appealing and welcoming for your guests.

Easy maintenance

​Untreated concrete is an erodible and porous material that accumulates dust, is difficult to wash and stains easily. The polished version is non-porous, stain-resistant and easy to clean by vacuuming or mopping. This surface is also resistant to water and mildew.

Durability

Even with little maintenance, a polished concrete floor is extremely durable, even more so than an epoxy coating. Since this flooring is not easily damaged, you will only have to polish the surface again after several years if you want to restore its original shine. This makes it an ideal option for those areas of your property where there is a lot of coming and going. Compared to other flooring installations, polishing concrete has a low impact on the environment and is a very profitable investment. ​

Trendy appearance

Polished concrete can be tinted in different colors, neutral or bright. But even when left in its original gray color, the glossy finish gives it an urban, sober, elegant, timeless and versatile look. You have the choice of a more or less glossy finish, but in all cases, your floor will reflect light and increase the brightness of the entire room. ​

Technique

Grinding

We start by examining the concrete slab to determine what specific preparation it will need. Then, we use a large grinding machine with metal bonded diamond grit discs, to remove old coatings and defects from the surface, as well as to level any waves that may be present in the concrete. Depending on the needs, we work with discs of different grits. Each successive disc removes the scratches and grooves created by the previous disc. The choice of diamond discs is also determined by how much aggregate we want to expose. ​

Honing

We then treat the concrete with a liquid densifier to change its hardness and prevent water penetration. Once the surface has hardened to the desired degree, we proceed to honing with resin bonded diamond discs of various grits. At each step, the low satin sheen becomes a little brighter. If you have chosen to give a tint to the concrete, this is when it will be added. ​

Polishing

We perform the polishing as such with a diamond polishing wheel. It is during this step that the final degree of gloss will be established.  ​

Sealer application

We finally apply a stain guard to the surface. This penetrating sealer helps to protect the concrete from liquid chemicals and solvents. The product also creates a very thin coating that makes cleaning easier and reduces the frequency of maintenance. ​
