Besides taking an excessive amount of time to lay down, tiles also require more attention when it comes to cleaning and maintenance. Expect to pay for fairly regular waxing to keep them clean and brilliant. To simplify cleaning and maintenance, many establishments use polished concrete instead. Polished concrete takes the natural patterns in the concrete and improves them with color stains. Next a clear, enduring epoxy coating protects the floor making it easy to maintain. For good concrete polishing, California Custom Coatings in El Dorado Hills delivers a beautiful shine with any foundation.
How We Polish Concrete
California Custom Coatings uses these steps when polishing concrete:
Grind it!– Abnormalities and stains are removed by sanding the surface of the concrete. HEPA-filtered vacuums eliminate the dust produced during the grind, protecting the air in your establishment. The final result is an outstanding concrete surface with an impressive level of shine, even before adding a clear coat.
Level it! – Areas with cracks are repaired. Any pits or indentations that cannot be repaired with grinding are refloated to the same level as the rest of the concrete. This way the polish is 100 percent solid and level. An extra grind makes sure that these repaired areas complement the rest of the floor.
Stain it! – Your concrete surface is infused, not just coated, with a color stain of your option. The color stain in reality disperses through and beneath the concrete surface. Any required patterns are also applied at this phase. Stains can be thick, hiding the concrete grain, or thin, allowing patterns in the concrete to show through like polished wood. California Custom Coatings chooses to use water-based stains that are safer for the environment.
Protect it! – Floor sealants protect the color and provide an excellent amount of gloss. These amazingly strong top coats are very durable and stand up to harm from commonplace supermarket traffic. The result is a floor that is exceptionally low maintenance. Thicker coats of protective sealers can compensate in areas where excessive traffic or heavy loads are expected.
All of this work is completed efficiently and promptly by the experienced crews at California Custom Coatings. If you are building or reviving and renewing a structure for use as a supermarket, we want to be your flooring partner!
