What is Polished Concrete?
Polished Concrete is concrete that has been hardened through a chemical process and then ground to a polished shine with specialized tools. Through this mechanical process, a natural beauty of concrete comes to life. The mechanical method of polishing concrete is preferred mostly because it offers low maintenance, lasts longer, and it’s sustainable (green). You can create your own masterpieces as each floor is unique and beautiful with its own character.

Is it “Green”?
Yes! Polished concrete floors are environmentally friendly. It is one of the more green options as it’s very long lasting, it doesn’t waste resources, no need for additional resources to cover the concrete slab, and incredibly compliant with LEED standards.

Maintenance. How do I take care of a polished concrete floor.
Nothing could be simpler than maintaining a polished concrete floor. There are no harsh chemicals or processes involved, no need to call a cleaning specialist. Just simple mopping routinely will keep your floor in great shape. Using a mop with gritless sweeping compound to remove dirt daily will ensure a longer life for your concrete floor.
If your polished concrete floor is in a commercial building, like a warehouse, or an office cafeteria, an auto-scrubber could be used with very soft brushes and a gentle cleaner specifically made for polished concrete, to lift dirt off the floor and remove it up.
No waxing is required.
