Floors and aisleways in retail stores are commonly covered with a variety of types of ceramic tile. Besides taking an excessive amount of time to apply, tiles also require more effort when it comes to maintenance and cleaning. Expect to pay for fairly regular waxing to keep them dust-free and sparkly. To simplify cleaning and maintenance, many stores apply polished concrete instead. Polished concrete takes the natural patterns in the floor and boosts them with color stains. Afterwards, a clear, enduring epoxy coating protects the floor, making it convenient to maintain. For quality concrete polishing, Nevada Custom Coatings in Fallon offers a beautiful shine on any concrete foundation.
How We Polish Concrete
Here are the general phases used by Nevada Custom Coatings when polishing concrete:
Grinding — A vigorous grind of the existing concrete prevents faults and guarantees that the surface sealers affix permanently. We use high-quality professional vacuum equipment to remove the dust produced during the grind. Grinding alone can in truth produce a surprising amount of shine just from plain concrete.
Leveling — Areas with deterioration, faults, or cracks are refloated, coated, or otherwise made flat and solid just as the rest of the floor. This ensures the polish is completely even. Additional grinding follows after the floor patches have fully cured.
Staining — Your concrete floor is infused with a color stain of your selection, along with any needed patterns. Stains can be thick, covering the “grain” of the concrete, or light and delicate, allowing the natural patterns in the concrete to show through like polished wood. Safe, acid-free stains that are better for the environment are preferred.
Clear protective coat — Floor sealants are applied over the polished surface to fill the pores and bring out the fabulous gloss. These clear sealants affix to the smooth surface with immense strength, creating a floor that requires very little maintenance. For areas where extreme traffic is expected, we add a thicker coat of resilient sealers to compensate.
The capable and experienced work crews at Nevada Custom Coatings complete all of this work on your schedule, to ensure that your construction or renovation project runs as effortlessly as possible.
