Sometimes you desire more than a concrete repair. Sometimes you want more than a mere change in texture or color. Sometimes you would like your concrete floor to look glossy, reflecting light like a mirror. California Custom Coatings can definitely stain and preserve your concrete floor, but we can go even further and give it a glossy shine with concrete polishing.
The Polished Concrete Process
Here are the typical steps involved when polishing concrete:
- Grinding – A strong grind of the current concrete eliminates anomalies and the floor sealers bond permanently. We use high quality industrial vacuum machinery to eliminate the dust produced during the grind.
- Leveling – Areas with faults or deterioration are refloated to the same level as the rest of the concrete. This way the polish is completely level and solid.
- Staining – The concrete floor is infused, not just coated, with a color stain of your option. Any desired patterns are also added at this time. Stains can be heavy, covering the concrete grain, or translucent, enabling patterns in the concrete to show through like polished wood.
- Clear protective coat – Floor sealers applied on top of the polished floor fill the pores and highlight the fabulous gloss. These clear sealers bond to the smoothed surface with immense strength, creating a floor that is very low maintenance. For environments where heavy traffic is common, we lay down a thicker coat of protective sealers to compensate.
Once concrete polishing is completed, your glass-like, colorful floors are thoroughly protected from scratching, stains and wear. Clean up is simpler, needing far less care than wood, linoleum or carpet. California Custom Coatings offers concrete polishing for floors in homes and industrial or commercial warehouses of all kinds and sizes.
