Sealed Polished Concrete Floors Croydon
How can sealed polished concrete floors change the dynamic of your home?
Whether you’re renovating or building, sealed polished concrete floors provide a timeless, versatile foundation that can bring a new lease on life to any flooring surface of your home.
The team at Eco Grind recently completed sealed polished concrete floors for this home in Croydon. Let’s put the shine on how we make this happen and polish out the benefits for homeowners looking at this type of high-performance flooring solution.
Getting the job done
Before polishing can begin, we assessed and prepared the existing concrete surface to gain a better understanding of what we would be working with.
Next up we take care of the cleaning so we have a smooth working space, looking for any areas that need to be patched up and also remove any old coatings that may already be in place.
Once the surface is clean and repaired, we bring in heavy-duty grinding machines fitted with diamond-embedded discs to grind down the concrete to the desired level. Then the real fun can begin and it’s time to polish. This step involves using progressively finer grit diamond pads to refine the surface. The level of polishing usually depends on the desired finish. Once the floor is polished to the desired level, a protective sealer is applied and it’s a matter of waiting for it all to be set and then our happy customers have a beautiful shiny new floor.
Benefits of sealed polished concrete floors
Whether you live in an uptown apartment or a suburban home, using sealed polished concrete flooring in your abode is both a practical and stylish choice.
- One of the biggest benefits of sealed polished concrete floors is their durability. Unlike other flooring choices (say goodbye to carpet) which will wear out over time, polished concrete will last for a lot longer. The sealed layer protects the surface from chips, cracks and stains, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like kitchens, living rooms and hallways.
- It’s a big win on the low maintenance arena. Being sealed, there’s no trapped dust and definitely no need for polishing like timber floors. All you have to worry about is some sweeping/vacuuming and mopping.
- It’s an eco-friendly and sustainable choice. You already have the concrete slab in place, so it reduces the need for new flooring materials.
