Why Polished Concrete is Perfect for Sioux Falls Properties
- Extreme Durability: Polished concrete floors hold up well against tough winter use and big temperature swings. They won’t crack, peel, or wear out easily. This process also makes the floor stronger and cuts down on dust, so your space stays cleaner.
- Lower Maintenance: Polished floors only need regular cleaning to look their best, which saves you time and money over the years. Just dry mop each day and damp mop once a week with a neutral cleaner to keep them shining.
- More Cost-Effective: Polished concrete upgrades your current slab, so you don’t have to pay for a full floor replacement. This means you avoid demolition and disposal costs.
- Superior Stain Resistance: The hardened surface resists oil, water, and other spills much better than untreated concrete. While it’s best to clean up messes quickly, the treated floor can handle everyday accidents without trouble.
Polished Concrete FAQ
Polished concrete is a durable, low-maintenance, and eco-friendly flooring finish achieved by grinding and polishing a concrete surface with diamond abrasives.
Benefits include increased durability, improved slip resistance, removes old coatings and glues, enhanced aesthetics, and reduced maintenance costs.
While the polishing process can be noisy, We use electric and propane-powered equipment. Electric is substantially quieter but does take longer to complete a project.
How long the process takes depends on several factors: size of the area, configuration of the area, obstructions or immovable items in the area, starting condition of the floor, number of floor repairs required, and the desired finished product.
The area should be clear of obstructions and debris. Any removable items should be cleared from the grinding area.
The work area will need to be unoccupied to facilitate an on-time completion, the rest of the facility may still be occupied.
New concrete needs 30 days to cure before it can be polished.
While we do apply a seal coat at the end of polishing to protect from scratches and staining, we do not apply any surface coatings that alter the finished surface in color or appearance.
NO traffic is allowed on the floor for one hour after densifying or sealing. Foot traffic is acceptable after 1 hour, moderate traffic after 12 hours and full use after 7 days.
All concrete can be ground and polished with varying outcomes depending on the make-up and application.
Yes, you can choose from a matte to a high-gloss finish. However, higher levels of gloss may introduce a slipping hazard.
