Floors and aisleways in retail stores are often covered with various kinds of tiles. Besides taking an excessive amount of time to apply, ceramic tiles also require more time when it comes to maintenance and cleaning. Expect to pay for constant waxing to keep them clean and shiny. To simplify cleaning and maintenance, many retail spaces use polished concrete instead. Polished concrete takes the natural patterns in the substrate and enhances them with color stains. Next, a clear, enduring epoxy coating protects the floor, making it convenient to defend. For high-quality concrete polishing, California Custom Coatings in Vacaville provides an attractive shine with any foundation.
How We Polish Concrete
California Custom Coatings uses these steps when polishing concrete:
Grind it! – Faults and stains are eliminated by grinding the surface of the concrete. HEPA-filtered vacuums eliminate the dust produced during the grind, protecting the air in your commercial space. The end result is a fabulous concrete floor with an impressive intensity of shine, even before installing a clear coat.
Level it! – Areas with cracks are repaired. Any indentations or dips that cannot be fixed with grinding are refloated to the same level as the rest of the concrete. This way, the polish is 100 percent solid and of the highest grade. An added grind makes sure that these repaired areas complement the rest of the surface.
Stain it! – Your concrete floor is infused, not just covered, with a color stain of your choosing. The color stain actually dissipates through and beneath the concrete surface. Any essential patterns are also added at this phase. Stains can be thick, hiding the concrete grain, or subtle, allowing patterns in the concrete to shine through like polished wood. California Custom Coatings prefers to use water-based stains that are safer for the environment.
Protect it! – Floor sealants seal in the color and provide an exceptional amount of gloss. These amazingly strong top coats are very durable and resist damage from commonplace retail store traffic. The result is a surface that is very low maintenance. Thicker coatings of protective sealers can compensate in areas where more traffic or heavy loads are expected.
All of this work is completed efficiently and on time by the skilled crews at California Custom Coatings. If you are constructing or reviving and restoring a facility for use as a grocery store, we want to be your flooring partner!
