Floors and aisleways in grocery stores are commonly coated with a variety of types of tile. Besides taking quite a long time to lay down, ceramic tiles are also demanding when it comes to cleaning and maintenance. Expect to pay for fairly regular waxing to keep them dust-free and mirror-like. To streamline cleaning and maintenance, many retail spaces lay down polished concrete instead. Polished concrete takes the soothing patterns in the concrete and boosts them with color stains. Then a clear, long-lasting epoxy coating protects the floor, making it easy to take care of. For good concrete polishing, Nevada Custom Coatings in Fernley delivers a stunning shine on any foundation.
The Concrete Polishing Treatment
Nevada Custom Coatings uses these steps when polishing concrete:
Grind it! – Imperfections and spots are removed by sanding the surface of the concrete. HEPA-filtered vacuums remove the dust produced during the grind, guarding the air in your store. The final result is a gorgeous concrete surface with an impressive intensity of shine, even before adding a clear coat.
Level it! – Areas with cracks are repaired. Any indentations or holes that cannot be resolved with grinding are refloated to the same level as the rest of the concrete. This way, the polish is 100 percent solid and level. An additional grind makes sure that these repaired areas complement the rest of the floor.
Stain it! – Your concrete surface is infused, not just coated, with a color stain of your choice. The color stain, in truth, dissipates through and beneath the concrete surface. Any necessary designs are also requested at this stage. Stains can be thick, obscuring the concrete grain, or thin, allowing patterns in the concrete to shine through like polished wood. Nevada Custom Coatings prefers to use water-based stains that are safer for the environment.
Protect it! – Floor sealers conserve the color and provide an outstanding level of gloss. These astoundingly strong top coats are very durable and withstand damage from commonplace supermarket traffic. The final product is a floor that is extremely low-maintenance. Thicker coats of protective sealers can compensate in areas where excessive traffic or heavy loads are expected.
All of this work is finished efficiently and promptly by the expert teams at Nevada Custom Coatings. If you are constructing or revitalizing and rejuvenating a building for use as a retail store, we want to be your flooring partner!
