Some of the merits of Polished Concrete...

Create a work of ART!

1. •  Plan your project far enough in advance of the concrete pour, and you can create astounding effects in your floor.
   

2. •  “Inclusions” into the wet concrete at the time of the pour can create awesome effects.
   

3. •  Colored rocks or pebbles can be added to change the size and color of the aggregate exposed.
   

4. •  Even glass bits can be added to be polished smooth and translucent.
   

5. •  In addition, the concrete can be colored, scored and patterned in any number of ways to your satisfaction.
   

Transform Ordinary Concrete:

1. •  Concrete floors can be polished to a glass-like finish. 
   

2. •  The amount of gloss can be controlled from a matte finish to the highest shine.
   

3. •   Increases the amount of light reflectivity.  Makes for a “brighter” room.
   

Lower Cost:

1. •  Polishing is less expensive than most options, especially in the long term.
   

2. •  Trouble free maintenance for years.
   

3. •  Permanent solution vs other transitory methods. You never have to restore a floor again.
   

4. •  All concrete slabs are chemically and physically different, so must be bid individually.  Feel free to call us!
   

Minimize Maintenance:

1. •  The concrete is able to breathe, avoiding costly maintenance issues, such as effervescence.
   

2. •  No concrete “dusting”
   

3. •  Polishing reduces the porosity, helping to seal off the surface.
   

4. •  Maintenance is simply sweeping and cleaning with a neutral cleaner as needed
   

Repair  Concrete:

1. •  The concrete polishing process can remove nearly all surface imperfections and and stains in the concrete
   

2. •  Almost all sound concrete can be can be polished.
   

3. •  “Nasty old”  concrete can be transformed into a sparkling surface. 
   

It Is Durable!

1. •   A densifer is used during the process, and it chemically strengthens the concrete.  It significantly  increases
   

its impact resistance and  compression strength.

1. •  Therefore, polished concrete can’t be damaged by forklifts and other machinery(except in extreme cases) or heavy foot traffic.
   

2. •  Immediate use after completion!
