There are lots of great reasons to choose Concrete Floor Polishing for Existing Homes. But what are the considerations that come with it?
Whether your home is 5 years old or 50, concrete floor polishing for existing homes is a winning solution. They can completely change the look and feel of a home… breathe new life into it. With polished concrete on your wish list, your home renovation plans just got a whole lot better!
Treasure under your carpets
Carpets, laminate planks, tiles… they all tend to have a life span. Some last longer than others, but over time you’ll find they get damaged, grotty, and just harder to maintain. This is where concrete floor polishing shines (literally) as a solution. Easy to keep clean, highly resistant to water damage, scratches, warping, and ground-in dirt, concrete tops the list for practicality.
You may be surprised to see some of the fantastic results we’ve achieved from existing concrete slabs. Grinding reveals a unique aggregate pattern every single time. At Eco Grind, we love what we do – we know that no two floors are ever the same. It feels like we’re treasure hunting when we set to uncovering a slab’s aggregate.
Preparation is key
While it is trickier to navigate walls and corners when compared with open cut polishing of new slabs, experienced concrete polishers are old hands at achieving brilliant results for existing homes. We do recommend making sure that our way is made as clear as possible and removing skirtings so we can get closer to the wall. When you remove the skirtings, you can also get to revisit the profile to make sure it fits with your taste and the style of the home. It also means that you can install the new skirtings (or reinstall the old ones) flush to the slab. This is particularly important if you have removed existing flooring, as the last thing you want is an unsightly gap between your skirting base and the stunning new polished concrete floor.
If you’re looking to polish your existing concrete slab, these are just a couple of tips to help you get started. At Eco Grind, we’ll help you every step of the way and provide all the great advice you need to get the best result.
