All the Info on Concrete Polishing
The Concrete Polishing Process
The first step in polishing your concrete floor is cleaning and inspecting the concrete for damage. If any damage is present, we’ll repair it before proceeding to the next steps. Once all cracks, chips, or pits have been filled or patched, we can begin grinding the floor. This starts with a three to four-step rough grinding to remove any minor blemishes, stains, or residual coatings. Once the coarse grinding is complete, we apply an impregnating sealer that densifies and protects the concrete from the inside out. Lastly, we polish the floor using fine-grit grinding wheels to the desired level of sheen. Your floor is ready to use as soon as we finish!
Polished Concrete Costs
The cost of polishing your concrete floor depends on a few different factors. The size of your floor, the amount of damage present, and the level of sheen you want for your floor will all affect the cost of your project. Usually, the larger your floor space, the less per square foot it will cost. You should expect to pay roughly around $3 to $12 per square foot for your polished concrete floor.
Why Hire a Professional?
Hiring a professional will save you a lot of time, money, and headaches. To polish a concrete floor, you’ll need to rent a floor grinding machine, which can be an expensive upfront cost. Not to mention, Any mistakes made during this process can result in you starting your project over. It’s best to leave this job to the pros.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can all concrete be polished?
In most cases, any concrete floor can be polished. However, there are a few rare cases where a floor cannot be polished. If the concrete base’s damage is too significant, making the concrete structurally unsound, we will not be able to polish it. It’s worth noting that the vast majority of concrete floors are eligible for polishing, and only the most severe cases cannot be polished.
How do I maintain my polished concrete floor?
Maintaining a polished concrete floor is fast and straightforward. This is one of the reasons that concrete polishing has grown to be so popular for homes and businesses. All that the maintenance for this flooring system entails is regular dust mopping or sweeping to keep debris off the floor. Wet mop on a weekly basis to ensure that no dirt is sticking to the surface of the concrete. Avoid using cleaners with high acidic properties as they can dull the shine on the floor. Avoid soapy cleaners as well because they can leave a residue across your floor. Clean up spills immediately to avoid slips or falls and possible stains from prolonged exposure to the spill.
