What You Need To Know About Polished Concrete Treatment Techniques

Polished concrete is one of the best choices for elegant flooring on a large and affordable scale. When done correctly, having a polished concrete floor can be a way to provide an elegant touch to your mall, shopping center, or entertainment complex. If you want to have your own polished concrete floor, you will need to treat your floor with one of several techniques.

One of the things that you will have to consider is the the kind of concrete that you want to polish. You may want to mix glass or marble into the mix, or you may want to opt for colored concrete. The look of the concrete that you want to achieve may need to have additions, or may need to have different colorations in order for it to come out the way you want it to. With some of the more unique polished concrete floors, items such as computer chips, bolts, and brass signs may be seeded into the mix.

Once you have decided  on the mix that you want, you will need to get a company that can polish the concrete with a good technique that will keep your floor looking great for years to come. Most polishing techniques involve sanding down the concrete and then filling it in with different additives to give it a clean and polished look and a smooth surface. Other methods involve sanding it down, and then using a machine polisher to level out any knicks and bumps that there might be. Depending on the method used, you may end up with a dull, barely polished surface, or a floor that may need regular maintenance in order to keep up its lustre.
