Introduction to Polished Concrete

Polished concrete is wildly growing in popularity as a no-wax flooring option for many commercial buildings.  Supermarkets, office spaces, warehouses and retail stores are quickly realizing the perks of polished concrete floors.  Concrete can be grinded to a high-gloss finish that never needs waxing or coating, considerably lowering maintenance costs.  Not to mention, polished concrete is beautiful!  Even homeowners are getting in on the act, opting for polished concrete flooring for their kitchens, foyers, basements...even living rooms.  Homeowners, business owners and property managers alike are beginning to install polished concrete floors as an alternative to granite, marble, and tile due to it's high luster and beauty. 

Maintaining polished concrete floors is a breeze.  Occasional sweeping and dusting of the floor and mopping with a neutral cleaner is all that is needed.  Basic cleaning will keep the polished concrete's luster for years to come.  If ever shine does begin to fade, usually due to a high volume of traffic in certain areas, a simple buffing with a commercial polishing compound will restore that gleam.
