A significant amount of modern buildings are constructed on concrete slabs, which can be polished to provide a number of benefits. Concrete polishing is a cost effective way to maintain and extend the life of floors that experience heavy traffic. A concrete polisher is used to achieve a high gloss finish on cement floors, which produces reflective properties. Lighting is reflected off of polished concrete floors that brightens any room of a commercial or residential building. After concrete polishing is finished, the maintenance cost for cement floors is drastically reduced and simplified. A special epoxy is applied to prevent concrete dusting, cracks, and chips.
Many business owners are interested in polishing concrete floors because the maintenance cost associated with polished cement floors is around 60 percent less than the cost of maintaining expensive floors like vinyl composition tile. Concrete polishing is often used in warehouses to prevent forklift marks and marks created from other types of industrial vehicles. After concrete polishing is finished, only a mop and soapy water are needed to remove any marks and spills. The special sealant applied to polished cement floors resists stains from oils and chemicals. Concrete polishing is one of the easiest ways to meet the standards set by OSHA as well.
