Concrete polishing is a top-of-the-line way to add color to a concrete floor and a lustrous, clear coat protectant. So, if you want your foundation to sparkle, consider the floor polishing systems from Folsom’s California Custom Coatings. Our floor polishing method uses modern concrete technology to smooth and then protect your elegant concrete floor.
Rise Above the Grey
For some businesses and many industrial locations, a shiny grey floor looks just fine. For these customers, we clean and prepare the concrete floor, polish and buff it smooth, and then apply a resilient coating. Residential properties, however, ordinarily need a greater demonstration of the experience and talent from our professional installers. Therefore, we make available three different methods to help your residential flooring look like more than just a shiny surface.
Cream Polished Concrete preps and shines only the upper surface of the concrete, called the cream. Uncovering sand aggregates layered in the floor can uncover beautiful swirls and patterns that are much the same as those found in wood or stone. Very smooth concrete or newly laid concrete made to our specifications is necessary for this method. Where the existing surface cannot be used, California Custom Coatings may proceed by installing a foundation overlay that replaces the upper layer of the floor.
Salt and Pepper Polished Concrete sands off just enough concrete to expose the smaller aggregates underneath the surface, like pebbles and small gravel. The polishing reveals these natural materials while leaving the floor surface totally smooth. For remodels, testing is important to confirm that the aggregates will lend the desired look. For new construction, California Custom Coatings can help you select the aggregates that you favor for a salt and pepper finish.
Rock Cut Polished Concrete grinds down to the larger aggregates. Similar to the salt and pepper finish, you should be aware of what’s coming as you polish away the top layers of concrete that hide the aggregates below, or you should test a not-so-visible portion of the floor to see what lies below. This terrazzo-style application evokes European elegance and is a requested choice in rich architecture.
California Custom Coatings is pleased to show you samples of all three systems of polished concrete so that you can decide what works best for your flooring.
While California Custom Coatings in Folsom has noteworthy experience designing polished concrete floors that simulate the look of other materials, we can also design floors that stand out as the height of the craft offered from the concrete industry. Our available pigment infusions for concrete surfaces range from attractive colors to natural tones. With metallic coats, a polished concrete floor can imitate walking on water or floating on air! Your selections in coatings enable you to choose a finish that goes from soft to high gloss. Share your vision with us, and we can bring it to life!
