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.

The fact that your property may already have old tiles, or vinyl floors, or even wood, will not be a problem as the surface below that can easily be used in the final flooring. The old floors will be removed and the concrete below checked and repaired. All crack and unevenness will be resolved and fixed. If necessary, a layer will be poured over the top to ensure that they are working with a quality base. The finished cement surface is durable, easy to clean and will look good for many, many years. This makes it ideal for business properties such as restaurants and shops.

Retail, industrial, hospitality and food service markets are eagerly embracing the trend. Worn cement can be resurfaced and polished up without creating too much surrounding damage with dust and grit. New surfaces are just as quickly installed. The job is finished in a short time, allowing for minimum disruption to the business.

The durable, gleaming floor will look great in whichever finish you opt for, whether you've selected a colour powder or gone with the original cement look. They will not disintegrate or flake and the condition will remain excellent for years into the future.

When the mixture is poured and levelled, the rough stones are covered by the smooth cement. It's a matter of choosing whether or not to start grinding and if so, how much will be done. Taking the choice to polish and not grind is normally done at this phase. Whether you selected to add a colour to your floor or not, you will have a result of a gleaming, glossy floor with a uniquely patterned finish as no two floors can be the same.

The second stage will leave an irregular salt and pepper finish, due to the stones in the concrete mix being at varying depths below the surface. This is not usually guaranteed to give a uniform result, but will still give an exciting and beautiful finish to your floor.

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.

Finally, once your desired finish is achieved, the floor is going to be polished until gleaming. The wet looking floor is still non-slip and safe. Naturally, the floors will erode slightly over a long time, especially in areas with a lot of traffic. This is not a problem, however, as regular cleaning and maintenance will bring the floor back to its original beauty.
