Sometimes you require more than a concrete repair. Sometimes you desire more than a simple change in texture and color. Sometimes you would prefer your concrete floor to look glossy, reflecting beauty like a mirror. Nevada Custom Coatings can definitely stain and preserve your concrete floor, but we can go even further and give it a glass-like shine with concrete polishing.
The Polished Concrete Process
Here are the typical steps involved when polishing concrete:
- Grinding – A strong grind of the present concrete prevents faults and guarantees the floor sealers attach permanently. We use top quality industrial vacuum machines to collect the dust produced during the grind.
- Leveling – Areas with cracks are refloated to the same level as the rest of the concrete. This way the polish is 100% flat.
- Staining – Your concrete floor is infused, not just coated, with a color stain of your choosing. Any requested patterns are also added at this time. Stains can be heavy, covering the concrete grain, or light, allowing patterns in the concrete to show through like polished wood.
- Clear protective coat – Floor sealants applied over the polished floor fill the pores and emphasize the fabulous gloss. These clear sealers bond to the smoothed out concrete with considerable strength, creating a floor that is very low maintenance. For locations where heavy traffic is commonplace, we apply a thicker coat of protective sealers to compensate.
Concrete polishing therefore provides the perfect balance of decorative durability, for both homes and businesses, while simultaneously presenting chemical and scratch resistance. This system is easily the best for businesses wanting a good-looking, tougher, and low-maintenance concrete surface in their business or industrial facility, or for homeowners wanting an outstanding floor that is easily maintained.
