ABOUT As years have gone by polished concrete has become more and more popular due to how great it looks and how efficient and durable it is. Polished concrete is very easy to clean using warm water and a microfibre mop. Cleaning chemicals are not needed. Spillages are easily wiped up, and because of the smooth seamless finish polished concrete will not trap mould, mildew, dust mites, bacteria or allergies. Not only is polished concrete a healthier alternative compared to another flooring. The system reflects heat and light making it energy efficient which will save you money in the long run. Advantages and Benefits Popular in: Factories Warehouses Office Buildings Restaurants Garages Homes The process of polished concrete begins with grinding tools or machinery that grinds down the concrete depending on the finish and what the client has requested. There are at least 10 to 15 steps and if done correctly is very time consuming but in the end, the finished product speaks for itself. Generally, the grinding phase starts with a course 30 grit metal diamond and progresses to 70 grit and 120 grit. Each grit size gets finer as we go through the stages. After 120 grit metals are finished the polishing stage begins. 50 grit polishing pads are then used followed by 100 grit, 200 grit, 400 grit up to 800 and 1500 grit depending on the close level. Between these stages grouting of any pinholes or open pores will take place and densifiers will be used to harden the concrete so that it may be polished and to ensure the durability and lifespan of the polished concrete floor.
