Why Commercial Polished Concrete Floors Contractor Johnson City Are Raving

By Clara E. Cordasco


Factories, warehouses, storage units. All of these had one thing in common previously and it was the standard economy grey cement floor. Cold and uninviting, they were often dusty and cracked. Now, commercial polished concrete floors contractor Johnson City are cementing their place with people seeking the updated, glamorous polished concrete.

Pre-existing wood and tiled flooring can be removed to reveal the original cement floor. Then, depending on the integrity of these floors, it is repaired, levelled and then polished up. In the worst cases the surface would have to be concreted from scratch in order to get the best finish. The floors, once finished, are long-lasting, hygienic and good looking, especially in high traffic public areas, such as commercial properties.

Whether the business is in food service, relying on strict hygiene and cleanliness, or in retail, relying on daily trade, the amount of disruption is kept to a minimum. New surfaces or resurfacing will both be fairly quick allowing the business to resume with the least amount of disruption possible.

If you select the basic finish, or opt to add in a colour powder, your floor is still going to look fabulous. Polished and shining like it's coated in water, the finished surface will not scale off or crumble. It will last in its condition for years and years, remaining as good looking as the day it was completed.

The small stones, or aggregate that makes up the flooring can be completely concealed or revealed. This will depend on what you choose and how much grinding and polishing you choose to have done. Every floor is as unique as the stones are. Each result is interesting and beautiful in its own right. Choosing to only polish up the floor will offer a uniquely patterned floor, glossy and smooth. This is where your colour option would look the best

Stage two of the grinding and polishing will reveal only the smallest amount of the aggregate beneath resulting in a salt and pepper look. The second stage can sometimes result in an uneven finish as the stones are not at a uniform depth beneath the surface. It will still be a special looking floor if you go this route.

The final grinding stage will show up the stones beneath, offering a mix of shapes and colours, depending on what was used. Revealing the rough looking stones beneath the concrete will yield beautiful results.

The final stage of the cement floor will be to polish it until it looks like it is wet. At the same time, the floor is slip resistant. Over a long period, natural erosion by foot traffic will occur. Because it's a natural product, it will remain looking good and regular maintenance and polishing will bring back the shine.
