The Benefits of Polished Concrete
LEEDS Benefits/Environmentally Friendly
Choosing a Polished Concrete Solution helps your facility meet LEED benchmarks to achieve recognition as a high performance green building. Credits toward USGB’s “Triple Bottom Line”.
Aesthetically Pleasing
A variety of appearances can be achieved through the polishing process, from honed, semi-polished to a highly polished surface that has a high clarity of reflection and a glass like finish. Additional enhancements range from decorative saw cut patterns to the application of stains in a broad spectrum of colors, all of custom tailored to the project at hand.
Permanent Flooring Solutions
Performance and appearance will retain greater consistency throughout the life of the surface because, unlike other finishes that rely on topical coatings, the concrete polishing process exposes and enhances the strength and durability inherent to the concrete.
Low Maintenance
Without superficial coatings, concrete polishing leaves you with a product that resists stains and does not peel, chip or flake over time, making regular maintenance simple while saving time and money.
Energy Reduction
Polishing concrete to a higher shine increases the efficiency of installed lighting, reducing energy demands.
Eliminates Dusting and Particulate Debris
The diamond polishing and densification process eliminates the dust associated with unprocessed concrete and particles of chipping paints and epoxies that result from the wear of traditional floor coatings.
No Loss of Business
The processes can be performed so that there is no loss of business while the process is being performed.
Abrasion Resistant
Densifiers applied during the concrete polishing process increase the durability of the surface as a result the finished surface resists scratches and abrasions.
Reduces Wear on Warehouse Equipment
Processed Concrete reduces micro-vibrations and tire ware on warehouse equipment.
