What Are the Advantages of Polished Concrete Floor?

2023-04-21

Polished concrete floor is a concrete surface formed by gradually grinding the concrete with a grinding machine and acting together with a chemical hardener. The builder uses the chemical hardener to penetrate the naturally poured concrete to strengthen its surface strength and density, and to improve its flatness and reflectivity through mechanical grinding and polishing, so that the concrete flooring has both performance and special decorative effects.

Polished concrete floor has the following four advantages

Firstly, polished concrete floor will be hardening and wear-resistant. Polished concrete flooring becomes wear-resistant. In fact, wear tests have shown that floors treated with a grinding tool and chemical hardener have a 32% increase in hardness within 30 minutes of the initial treatment. Over time, the hardness of the treated concrete continues to increase. It also has a hardening effect on the surface of the wear-resistant aggregates.

Second, polished concrete floor is dustproof. The dust generated by concrete due to weathering will stay on finished products, shelves and equipment. Concrete sealer and salt in the concrete combined together, become an integral part of the concrete, so polished concrete flooring can completely prevent the concrete surface from dust. This significantly reduces maintenance costs and protects those sensitive equipment, finished products that have been processed from dust particles.

Thirdly, polished concrete floor permanent luster. Over time, the concrete floor treated with concrete sealer will appear attractive wax-like luster. Besides, the more the floor is used and the more often it is cleaned will result in the better the floor will look. The floor will not spall or damage, under the friction of regular use and cleaning, is actually the concrete itself in polishing.

Fourth, polished concrete floor reduces high maintenance costs. A polished concrete floor will appear marble-like and lustrous, extending the life of the concrete. This reduces the need to reuse polyurethane, wax, acrylic and other expensive floor coatings that require frequent maintenance. Cleaning is only required with a rag, soapy water or an automatic cleaner.
