What is Polished Concrete?
Known for their superior strength and durability, concrete floors have long been the popular choice for both commercial and residential flooring projects. Offering a smooth, glossy and aesthetically pleasing finish, polished concrete floors are the perfect solution for practical yet elegant flooring.
To achieve this superior finish, our high-end equipment- containing coarse diamond-grit abrasive pads- grinds the concrete surface to remove any imperfections, rough spots or blemishes, revealing a smoother and more even surface. We then further refine the surface by honing the concrete floor to achieve a more uniform and consistent appearance. Utilising progressively thinner grit pads, the floor is then polished to your desired level of shine and glossiness (customise your floors by selecting a matt, satin, semi-gloss or high gloss finish) and sealed from the elements to ensure its durability. The resulting polished concrete floor showcases a sleek finish with a reflective quality that adds depth and sophistication to the space.
What are the Advantages of Polished Concrete Flooring?
Sleek Aesthetics
Polished concrete floors exude a sleek and contemporary aesthetic that can transform any space into a visually appealing masterpiece. The high-gloss finish of polished concrete reflects light, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere, no matter the size of your space. In addition to choosing the level of shine, polished concrete floors can also be customised through staining and dyeing techniques. Polished concrete is therefore a highly versatile flooring solution, suiting a wide variety of design preferences and functional needs.
Durability and Longevity
Possessing the same strength and sustainability characteristics as concrete, polished concrete floors are renowned for their exceptional durability and longevity. They are highly resistant to abrasions, impacts and stains, ensuring your flooring remains pristine even in high foot-traffic areas such as shopping centres, showrooms, restaurants, and multi-storey buildings.
Low Maintenance
One of the standout advantages of polished concrete flooring is its minimal maintenance requirements. Unlike other flooring options that may require regular waxing, buffing, or refinishing, polished concrete floors simply need routine cleaning to maintain their lustre. This ease of maintenance translates to reduced operational costs and less disruption to your business operations. The minimal upkeep, together with its long lifespan, also make polished concrete a cost-effective flooring solution.
Can I Enhance My Existing Concrete Floor?
Absolutely, the answer is yes. By hiring a professional company such as AusFloorworks to grind down your existing concrete floor using high-end machinery, you can acquire an entirely new surface. By grinding down an older concrete floor to reveal the aggregates and smooth out any uneven or damaged points and then polishing it to your desired level of shine, you can achieve stunning results.
