Polished Concrete is concrete that has been  ground, honed then polished with progressively finer diamond impregnated grinding tools. This mechanical process of refining the surface of the concrete restores and conditions the surface  resulting in a matte, satin or gloss sheen. Concrete can be colored with dyes or left uncolored for greater durability and less maintenance. Examples of this can be seen at retailers such as Home Depot, Lowes, Costco and Sam’s club. Typically, concrete is not considered polished before 400 grit, and it is normally finished to either the 800, 1500, or 3000 grit level. Stains and dyes are often applied to enhance polished concrete as well as other options such as scoring, creating radial lines, grids, bands, borders, logos and other designs.

Polished concrete is considered a good sustainable design flooring option because it makes use of the materials already present. Most modern buildings are built on a concrete slab; polishing the exposed concrete eliminates the energy and material consumed by applying a floor covering. It is something to consider when building or modernizing towards a more green solution.

Polished concrete floors are low-maintenance, as they are more durable and easier to clean than many flooring options. Its relatively high coefficient of friction makes for a non-slip surface.

Benefits of polished concrete

–  Polished concrete reduces dust mite and allergen problems, and does not support mold growth.

–  Highly reflective polished concrete reduces lighting needs and improves natural lighting.

–  Polished concrete flooring is hard wearing and will not chip or dent like softer surfaces such as hardwoods

–   Mopping with warm soapy water once a week is the only maintenance required.

–  Polished concrete if perfect for areas prone to moisture or flooding. It is a breathable surface allowing water vapor to pass through and will survive a water leak unlike other surfaces.

–  A concrete floor that has been hardened and polished will have an extremely long life expectancy compared to other flooring.
