This flooring solution is perfect for both commercial spaces, industrial facilities, and residential homes, offering a modern, sleek look that is easy to maintain and long-lasting.
What is a Polished Concrete Floor?
A polished concrete floor is created by grinding and polishing a concrete surface to achieve a high-gloss, reflective finish. The result is a smooth, shiny floor that is not only visually appealing but also incredibly durable and resistant to wear and tear.
Benefits of Polished Concrete Floors
- Durability: Polished concrete floors are highly resistant to heavy traffic, making them ideal for commercial and industrial settings.
- Low Maintenance: Once polished and sealed, concrete floors require minimal upkeep. They are easy to clean and do not require frequent waxing or refinishing.
- Cost-Effective: Compared to other flooring options, polished concrete is cost-effective, especially for large spaces. Its long lifespan reduces the need for replacement.
- Aesthetic Appeal: With a sleek, modern look, polished concrete can be customized with stains or dyes to match the design of any space.
- Eco-Friendly: Since it utilizes the existing concrete slab, polished concrete flooring is an environmentally friendly option that reduces the need for additional materials.
- Improved Lighting: The reflective surface of polished concrete floors can enhance natural and artificial lighting, reducing energy consumption.
Our Polished Concrete Floor Process
At Made New Again, we follow a precise and detailed process to create stunning, durable polished concrete floors. Here are the basic steps involved:
1. Surface Preparation
The first step is to prepare the concrete surface by thoroughly cleaning it and repairing any cracks, holes, or imperfections. If necessary, we apply a chemical hardener to strengthen the concrete and make it more resistant to damage, ensuring a durable surface for years to come.
2. Grinding
Next, we begin the grinding process using a series of progressively finer diamond grinding tools. This process smooths out the concrete surface, removing any rough or uneven areas. Depending on the condition of the concrete, multiple grinding passes may be required to achieve a smooth, even base.
3. Polishing
Once the surface has been adequately ground, we start the polishing process. This involves using finer diamond polishing pads to create a shiny, reflective finish. With each pass, the surface becomes progressively smoother and more polished. The end result is a beautiful, high-gloss floor that enhances the aesthetic of any space.
4. Staining or Dyeing (Optional)
For clients looking to add a splash of color or unique design, we offer staining or dyeing as an optional step during the polishing process. This allows you to customize the look of your polished concrete floor by adding color and depth, giving your floor a truly unique appearance.
5. Sealing and Protection
To protect your polished concrete floor from stains, spills, and daily wear, we apply a high-quality concrete sealer. The sealer is usually applied using a roller or sprayer and provides a protective barrier that ensures your floor remains beautiful and easy to maintain. After sealing, we use a burnishing technique to create a smooth, glossy finish that enhances the durability of the surface.
