CONCRETE POLISHING & EPOXY COATINGS

Polished concrete is the hottest trend in flooring as it allows you to turn any drab grey concrete area into a durable, dazzling space with a unique color, pattern, or shine.

This polished look is achieved by grinding the top layer of concrete with diamond discs, much in the same way sandpaper is used. The diamond grit becomes finer and finer until the desired luster is achieved. These are represented by low-satin finish (400 – 600 grit), medium-gloss finish (800 grit), high-gloss finish (1500 – 3000 grit). During the polishing, a densifier is added which helps further strengthen the floor. Finally, a protective coating is added to the top of the finished surface.

Industrial Floors

Industrial warehouses and storage facilities are a natural choice for concrete polishing because the refurbished surface can withstand heavy traffic from equipment and requires little maintenance. Concrete polishing involves preparing the floors with diamond grinding and applying an epoxy or polyurea application which both protects and beautifies.

EPOXY SERVICES

Flooring for commercial and industrial businesses can be a challenge because of the heavy amount of foot traffic or machinery that regularly tread across it. But instead of replacing the floor every few years, smart companies are turning to a durable epoxy coating that is affordable and will last for years.

COMMERCIAL & RETAIL

Another great thing about epoxy is the ability to use any color you like or combine it with other materials to make patterns on the floor. This makes epoxy the perfect choice for a commercial or retail space that you want to feel welcome and inviting to the customer. It’s scratch resistant and can be easily cleaned. For further safety, a slip-resistant coating can be applied.

INDUSTRIAL

When it comes to industrial flooring, concrete used to be the most sensible choice; however, because it is porous and stains easily, a concrete floor never lasts as long or looks as good as it should. This is why an epoxy covering is essential. It will prevent moisture, resist stains or scuffs, and is incredibly durable. Epoxy flooring is also self-leveling so it will always be smooth and flat.
