Polishing of concret

Concrete Floor Grinders, Polishers and Burnishers make cleaning and maintaining floors with heavy traffic easy to take care of. We have the right sealers, cleaners and other floor products that polish, restore and shine floors that are commonly used in big box stores and commercial buildings

CHALLENGE

Polishing concrete is very similar to sanding wood. Machines equipped with diamond-segmented abrasives (akin to sandpaper) are used to grind down concrete surfaces to the desired degree of shine and smoothness. As when sanding wood, you gradually progress from coarser-grit to finer-grit abrasives. (In this case, grit is the particle size of the diamond.) The result is a glossy, mirror-like finish.

You can polish concrete using wet or dry methods. Although each has its advantages, dry polishing is the method most commonly used in the industry today because it’s faster, more convenient, and environmentally friendly. Wet polishing uses water to cool the diamond abrasives and eliminate grinding dust. Because the water reduces friction and acts as a lubricant, it increases the life of the polishing abrasives. The chief disadvantage of this method is the cleanup. Wet polishing creates a tremendous amount of slurry that crews must collect and dispose of in an environmentally sound manner. With dry polishing, no water is required. Instead, the floor polisher is hooked up to a dust-containment system that vacuums up virtually all of the mess.

SOLUTIONS

Polished concrete is considered a form of sustainable design flooring, as it utilizes a material that has already been placed.Polished concrete floors are considered low-maintenance, as they are more durable and easier to clean than many flooring options. Its high coefficient of friction can make it non-slippery. Polished concrete reduces dust mite and allergen problems, and does not support mold growth. Anecdotal evidence suggests highly reflective polished concrete reduces lighting needs and can improve natural lighting. Polished concrete flooring is hard wearing and will not chip or dent like softer surfaces such as timber and tiles. Polished concrete is easily maintained with the use of clean water or a neutral balance PH cleaner. There are also many cleaners designed for the proper maintenance of polished concrete available. There is never a need for wax to be added as it will only dull the finish. A concrete floor that has been hardened and polished will have an extremely long life expectancy compared to other flooring

SAY ABOUT PROJECT

My team at I&C Construction is incredibly responsible , knowledgeable, and strong. We have a special equipment for grinding and polishing of concrete. We can do your home  extraordinary. For example, Epoxy has a short life span of 1 to 5 years and easily peels,some tile floors may only last 10–20 years, but a polished concrete floor that has been properly maintained may give 100+ years of service.
