Floors and aisleways in retail stores are often covered with various types of ceramic tiles. Besides taking a long time to install, tiles also require more effort when it comes to cleaning and maintenance. Expect to pay for constant waxing to keep them pristine and shiny. To streamline cleaning and maintenance, many retail spaces apply polished concrete instead. Polished concrete takes the soothing patterns in the foundation and improves them with color stains. Next, a clear, durable epoxy coating protects the floor, making it quick to clean. For high-quality concrete polishing, Nevada Custom Coatings in Sparks provides a lovely shine on any foundation.
How We Polish Concrete
Nevada Custom Coatings uses these steps when polishing concrete:
- Grind it! – Abnormalities and blemishes are removed by sanding the surface of the concrete. HEPA-filtered vacuums collect the dust produced during the grind, protecting the air in your store. The result is a gorgeous concrete floor with an impressive intensity of shine, even before installing a clear coat.
- Level it! – Areas with cracks are repaired. Any indentations or pits that cannot be fixed with grinding are leveled to the same level as the rest of the concrete. This way, the polish is 100 percent solid and even. An additional grind makes sure that these repaired areas match the rest of the surface.
- Stain it! – Your concrete floor is infused, not just covered, with a color stain of your option. The color stain actually sinks through and beneath the concrete surface. Any essential patterns are also applied at this phase. Stains can be thick, covering the concrete grain, or light, allowing patterns in the concrete to show through like polished wood. Nevada Custom Coatings chooses to use water-based stains that are safer for the environment.
- Protect it! – Floor sealers protect the color and provide an outstanding height of gloss. These astoundingly strong top coats are very durable and resist harm from ordinary grocery store traffic. The result is a floor that is exceptionally low-maintenance. Thicker topcoats of protective sealers can compensate in areas where excessive traffic or heavy loads are expected.
All of this work is done efficiently and quickly by the skilled teams at Nevada Custom Coatings. If you are building or updating and renovating a structure for use as a retail store, we want to be your flooring partner!
