Refinishing your concrete floor by polishing or staining it
can be a cost efficient way to bring some life to a dull and flat floor.
Staining or polishing your floor will not only add some
flavor to where you walk on, but add to its longevity. Even if you choose to
polish your grey concrete floors or add a color, the polish will stand out for
years if cleaned properly.
Advanced Floor Coatings is a certified applicator of several
concrete polishing systems approved by the National Floor Safety Institute and
when used as part of a comprehensive floor safety program, public facilities
that want to provide extra protection against slip and fall litigation can
treat polished floors with anti-slip conditioners.
Here’s how concrete polishing works:
Concrete polishing starts by diamond grinding the concrete
surface with different types of grits to your desired gloss level. After that a
densifier is applied to fill in the open pores of the concrete and serve as a
resistant coat for liquids.
After the densifier dries, and some more resin hardeners are
put in to fill in pores as needed, an indesifier is applied to give the floor
its shiny and glossy look. Give it final buffer and you should have a
beautiful, polished floor that will last as long as its looks are good.
This type of polish on concrete floors is used in grocery
stores, schools, vehicle showrooms, sports facilities, warehouses, basements
and airports.
