If you stop to assess what you require in a floor for a retail property, most owners and business professionals would say that they consider the toughness, the appearance, and the simplicity of care. Many common forms of retail flooring may feature one or two of these three characteristics, but it is very hard or very expensive to name a kind of floor that takes care of all three. Here at California Custom Coatings in Lincoln, we believe that polished concrete is one solution for this three-factor problem.
The Appearance of Polished Concrete
Polished concrete takes the natural style of common concrete and enhances it with polishing. Just as rocks and stones in the natural environment is polished sparkling by wind or water, concrete can be polished using grinders with various strengths of grit. The final product gives the concrete a lovely shine and even a grain that compares with the look of wood or stone.
Does Polished Concrete Hold Up?
Polishing concrete is a multi-step process, just like polishing a rock. The concrete will always be smooth and shiny. If we stain the concrete a special color, the liquid penetrates the uppermost layer of the concrete to a good depth, making the alteration permanent. To seal in the enhancements and further safeguard the investment, a protective and glass-like clear epoxy topcoat is applied on top to preserve the beauty.
Maintaining Polished Concrete
If you are accustomed to cleaning your floors with a consistent schedule of cleaning, waxing, removing, and rewaxing, you will be pleased to know that polished concrete involves none of this to remain lovely and reflective. Epoxy topcoats are typically kept clean with an easy dustmopping or sweeping. Big messes are simply cleaned with a wet mop. The unbroken flooring has no joints or seams where water can soak in and create rot and mold. Your floor stays forever beautiful, perfect, and shiny.
