Basics of Polishing Decorative Concrete Floors

Decorative concrete is a fantastic choice for any construction project thanks to its durable, attractive and long-lasting nature. Polished decorative concrete adds a sleek, high-gloss aesthetic which you can achieve with the right floor grinding equipment and contractors.

Polished decorative concrete gets its look from machines that grind down the concrete surface until the desired level of shine and smoothness is reached. It is a popular material that can be used in a wide range of applications, such as warehouses, retail stores, hotels and restaurants, showrooms and multi-residential buildings. This is why it is an appealing building choice for homeowners, business owners and retailers for their properties.

Benefits of polished decorative concrete

• Cost effective: Since polished decorative concrete already looks sleek and shiny, it won’t frequently require upgrades, making it a cost effective option
• Low maintenance: Concrete is an easy-to-clean material and can get by with regular sweeping and mopping and the occasional vacuum
• Long service life: Decorative concrete is more resistant to high-foot traffic, which means it won’t scuff easily and can withstand wear and tear

Polished decorative concrete maintenance tips

For shiny and well maintained polished decorative concrete, we suggest keeping these tips in mind:

• Regularly dust mop the polished decorative concrete surface. Use a microfiber cloth to remove dust and dirt particles which can lessen the clarity and sheen of the floor.
• When wet mopping, make sure you use clean water and clean mops.
• If you’re using an automatic floor scrubber, ensure that it has a non-abrasive pad to prevent floor damage.
• Don’t use harsh chemicals when cleaning the floor.
• Clean spills and stains as soon as possible so that they won’t be absorbed into the concrete surface.
