What is commercial polished concrete?
Commercial polished concrete is designed to meet higher structural demands, which is why it’s made with a stronger mix than residential concrete. It also includes heavier reinforcement to ensure it can handle greater loads and withstand significant pressure.
Polished concrete is a sustainable flooring option that makes use of the existing concrete substrate rather than requiring new materials. The whole process involves mechanically grinding and honing an existing concrete slab to achieve a smooth, high-gloss finish. Through several stages of polishing and the application of densifiers and sealers, the surface becomes strong, dust-free and resistant to wear, making it both practical and stylish.
