Are Polished Concrete Floors Worth Considering?

Each day a newer building technology is unveiled. This is to make buildings appear classy as well as last longer. Polished concrete floors are one of the best floors you have for your building. Typically, these floors are a creation of polished concrete, which is built by mechanically grounding concrete floors, honing it and polishing the floor with bonded abrasives. Additionally, the floor is refined to achieve a specified level of appearance with each cut.

The process of creating polished concrete floors is quite complex, considering it is a multi-step process. At some point, constructors need to use a hardener, which is a penetrant chemical that penetrates the concrete to react with the components of the concrete to harden it as well as form a dust-proof surface.

The polishing stage also occurs in a series of steps that progressively require finer grinding tools, which are grits of industrial diamonds in a bonded material like metal, hybrid or resin. They are commonly called diamond polishing pads. Concrete is only considered polished when at 400 grit, and usually it is finished to 400, 800, 1500, or 3000 grit level.

Should you consider polished concrete floors?

Polished concrete is fast gaining popularity, and that is why they are available in the current market place in high numbers. As opposed to other floors, the polished floors have numerous benefits that are unique to itself, as shown below.

Affordability

When you choose to install a polished concrete floor, you’ll save a lot as compared to other options available like marble, tile, or stone. The cost you incur when you decide to polish your concrete floor matches up to the cost of buying materials for the installation of tiles or hardwood. But in most cases, it is usually less than.

Improved Slip Resistance

Polished concrete always appears shiny, but they are not slippery. During the creation of these floors, vigorous mechanical grinding and flattening are done. Such activity increases the coefficient of friction typically as compared to the regular floor.

Longevity

Polished floor is the longest-lasting floor you can install. These floors last as long as the slab of the house lasts. You do not expect breakages, delimitation or floor failures associated with ordinary types of floors. That means repairs or touch up work won’t be needed as long as you keep the floor.

Further, these floors are resistant to mould and moisture damage. Best of all, polished concrete floors do not need maintenance. Once you install them, they’ll keep going. Other floors will demand to refine, waxing or stripping to keep them pristine.

Versatility

What you’ll love about polished floors is the variations in designs and colours. Again, the polished concrete floors gold coast offers have various applications – you can use them both indoors and outdoors.

Creative minds can create a powerful mix of colour to develop an outstanding blend of colours to suit different needs. This is achieved by staining and dyeing using the unlimited ranges of colour and designs.

Stain-Resistant

The chemical for densifying and sealing the surface transforms an ordinary porous concrete floor into a floor that is tightened floor. Besides, the floor becomes denser enough to repel oil, water and any other contaminants; thus, preventing them from penetrating.

Improved Reflectivity as well as Ambient Lighting

Polished floors have a reflective nature, which naturally increases the ambient lighting within buildings. Such an aspect makes the building beautiful and reduces bills.
