Polished concrete is an incredibly versatile flooring option with many benefits that can suit both commercial and personal uses. Polished concrete finishes also provide a durable, safe and customisable surface.

Polished concrete provides a large number of finishes that can suit a wide range of different purposes, including increased durability, easier maintenance, and enhanced appearance. Polished concrete finishes come in a wide variety of options – for those who want the full stone effect, the concrete can be ground down before it’s polished to expose the aggregate beneath, or it can be ground down in patches, leaving small areas with exposed aggregate.

Concrete is an extremely hard and strong material, that barely shows any sign of age and wear. This means that high heels, heavy furniture, children and animals won’t scratch or damage the surface of the floor. Being such a durable material also means concrete polishing results in low maintenance flooring, making it the perfect, easy to care for solution for the busy, modern household.

One of the major reasons for the increasing trend towards concrete floor polishing recently is its affordability. Whilst it does depend on the difficulty of the job, it can be more cost-effective than alternative flooring options. This is compounded by the minimal maintenance costs. After you’ve had the initial job done, it’s unlikely that you’ll need to spend significantly on maintenance for at least the next decade.

A huge advantage of concrete floor polishing is that it doesn’t use any hazardous chemicals, adhesives or cleaners. This is in stark contrast to many flooring alternatives, which use these hazardous chemicals in both installation and maintenance. The lack of these hazardous chemicals also mean that polished concrete is generally resistant to both moisture and abrasion. Its great thermal properties also mean that it works very well with increasingly-popular radiant floor heating systems.
