Concrete polishing is an outstanding way to add color to a cement floor and a shiny, clear coat protectant. So, if you want your floor to sparkle, explore the foundation polishing systems from Carmichael’s California Custom Coatings. Our foundation polishing system uses modern concrete innovation to buff and then preserve your smooth and elegant concrete floor.
Options in Polished Concrete
For some commercial and most industrial residences, a shiny grey floor looks just fine. For this clientele, we clean and prep the concrete floor, polish and buff it smooth, and then apply a strong topcoat. Residential properties, however, usually require a greater demonstration of expertise and talent from our professional installers. Therefore, we provide three different methods to help your residential flooring look like more than a reflective surface.
Cream Polished Concrete prepares and will shine only the top layer of the concrete, called the cream. Uncovering sand aggregates layered on the surface can uncover attractive swirls and patterns that are akin to those found in stone or wood. Very smooth concrete or newly laid concrete designed to our requirements is necessary for this method. Where the existing concrete cannot be used, California Custom Coatings might proceed by planning a floor overlay that replaces the upper layer of the floor.
Salt and Pepper Polished Concrete sands off just enough concrete to uncover the smaller aggregates beneath the surface, like pebbles and small gravel. The polishing shows these natural materials while leaving the base foundation completely smooth. For renovations, testing is important to confirm that the aggregates will provide the desired look. For new construction, California Custom Coatings can help you choose the aggregates that you like for a salt and pepper finish.
Rock Cut Polished Concrete sands down to the larger aggregates. Similar to the salt and pepper finish, you should be able to anticipate what’s coming as you polish away the upper layers of concrete that conceal the aggregates below, or you should test a hidden portion of the floor to see what lies below. This terrazzo-style method evokes European elegance and is a common upgrade in luxury architecture.
California Custom Coatings will show you examples of all three styles of polished concrete so that you can select what works best for your style.
Concrete polishing lets you surpass the boring flooring choices of vinyl, carpet or wood. You can decide upon pigment infusions of your choice!
