Frequently asked questions
What is polished concrete?
Polished Concrete is concrete that has been mechanically refined by grinding, honing then polishing with metal bonded diamond abrasives and resin bonded tools. The technology is like granite countertop polishing or terrazzo. Gloss is achieved through refinement using different grit levels rather than film-based sealers or flooring materials.
Can old concrete be polished?
Yes, but the results can vary based on the condition of the concrete. Old slabs are great. Some may be highly damaged but can be polished. People like the industrial look of highly distressed concrete, others don't. New slabs can also be challenging. There are guidelines for slabs design mix and placement. There factors that may predict a better candidate for polished cement flooring. Harder Concrete is denser and may shine better. Many engineers will specify floors to be polished a minimum 3500 PSI. Homes may be 2000-2500 PSI. This doesn’t mean they cannot be polished. Avoiding a high ratio of Fly ash or other additives or it may hinder polished results Inconsistent troweling or screeding methods may make polished floors wavy or Inconsistent tones Some Air entrained or lightweight concrete cannot be polished.
Is polished concrete slippery?
Polished Concrete is not slippery for interior environments. It has passed all tests required by the American National Standard for slip resistance. Coefficient of friction is what determines surface “slipperiness.” Slip resistance is commonly measured using a pendulum test or a Tribometer. These tests emulate the foot traffic of a shoe sole dragging against the floor.
Are concrete floors cheaper?
Sometimes polished concrete can be the cheaper flooring solution. Factors that would determine the price would include: Square footage, floor conditions, mastic or flooring removals, high ratio of edgework to the field, type of concrete flooring solution. At worse, concrete floors are as much as any other quality and durable flooring system. Depending on the factors concrete floors cost can range from $2-8 per square foot.
Does polished concrete scratch?
When compared to other quality flooring systems, concrete floors sometimes have higher abrasive resistance. Polished concrete is densified or hardened which make the concrete denser than a normal slab. One factor outside of the polishing installers control is the design mix of the concrete. (water/cement ratio...) Generally, low less cement equals “softer concrete”
