There\’s a lot more to a polished concrete floor than its aesthetic appeal. It improves air flow and can reduce fuel bills considerably. Everyday flooring materials such as vinyl, ceramic tiles, timber, and adhesives contain bacteria and can stain between the joins. Other floor coverings might leave their mark too, such as flaking, scratching, tearing and can turn yellow and bleach under direct sunlight. However, with a polished concrete floor you don\’t experience any of these issues, and a simple polish will leave your floor looking like new for many years to come. Installing a concrete floor is one of the most economical and innovative strategies. Increased popularity has made it a staple in every architect\’s and interior designer\’s arsenal as it\’s well suited to residential and commercial properties.

For a smooth contemporary design, with its natural polished concrete finish, polished concrete is a great choice. This method is also used in many other schemes from art galleries to high-end retail environments as well as being used in residential environments. It can change from a natural finish to a high gloss. Also, it is an ideal solution for those of you looking for a silky smooth contemporary design with a natural polished finish.


Considerations to make when choosing a polished concrete floor.

Dust prevention. If your concrete floor is left unpolished, it pushes minute particles of dust to the surface that circulates in the air and contaminates the air quality. However, particles of dust can ruin the surface of your concrete floor making future maintenance quite expensive, thus polishing your floor makes it extremely clean and tidy.

Levelling of the surface area. A level concrete floor transforms the small porous like surface into a dense structure. The addition of Polishing prevents inhibition of oil, water and other contaminants from penetrating into its surface.

Strength. By polishing your concrete floor it makes it stronger and prevents deterioration. Leaving a floor unpolished can become damaged with age owing to the rain and temperature fluctuation, surface stress, improper cleaning, delaminating and several others. Polishing improves the surface of the concrete and hardens it to prevent it from any external harm.

Energy efficient properties. With a polished concrete floor you don\’t have to concern yourself about switching the lights on during the day. The reflective properties of the polish on the floor reflects natural light and maximises it to an extent that you do not need artificial lights. This energy-saving facility has been reported to save a considerable sum over the course of a year.

A great deal more friction compared to other floor coverings. A polished concrete surface have the appearance of glass, but its friction is higher than any other ordinary floor material. irrespective of it being dry or wet, polished concrete often meets industry standards, thus making it a much harder surface to slip and slide.

The option of choosing polished concrete for your floor gives you infinite benefits, but, importantly, is also one of the most economical designs to lead a better life.
