One of the newest trends in flooring, in all types of homes, is to simply polish the concrete to create the look of natural stone floors or tiles. Companies providing concrete floor polishing can recreate the look of virtually any type of tile or natural stone, without the expense of buying and installing those materials.
There are many different benefits to considering concrete floor polishing services to create the floor you want. You may be surprised to find some of the flooring you admire in new commercial buildings, designer homes and even hotels and restaurants are not really marble or tile at all, but polished concrete.
Allergy and Dust Free
When you hire a company for your concrete floor polishing, you are choosing an allergen free type of flooring. Unlike unfinished concrete flooring, there will be no dust as the flooring is both stained and sealed, literally eliminating all dust and allergens.
Cleaning
Once the concrete floor polishing process is complete, cleaning and maintaining your floor will be very easy. A simple dry mopping process or sweeping is all that is needed to remove any dirt or debris that may be tracked into the room.
Liquids and spills can be wiped up with a cloth and the area rinsed with warm water or a recommended cleaner. The use of a sealant to protect against both liquid and oil based staining is highly recommended and will make the floor look beautiful for years to come.
Surfacing Choices
A top company providing concrete floor polishing will consult with you about the surface look you want to achieve. It’s possible to have a highly polished surface that will look like marble, terrazzo or highly polished tile. You may also opt for a matte surface that can create the more weathered and rustic look of travertine tiles.
There are different processes used in concrete floor polishing to create the various surface looks. Grinding, honing, etching and polishing are all completed along with staining, and sealant application as well as applying protective gloss.
The end results of concrete floor polishing by top companies are absolutely amazing. The patterns, designs and amazing look of this flooring choice combined with its low maintenance characteristics make this an option well worth considering for home renovations or new home construction.
