It's clear from the flooring industry the most economical flooring option for commerecial settings is polihsed concrete. With low installation costs and ease and low maintenance costs, installing a polished concrete floor is not only the intelligent choice, but because it looks so good, it can be the the best choice for you business.

Polished Concrete Floors

Polished concrete floors is fast becoming one of the most popular commercial flooring options for industial and even residential settings in the world.

We see evidence of this by walking into any big box store and looking down at the floor. The big box stores realized long ago, polishing concrete floors are the most economical flooring option on the planet today.

Not only is it economical to install, but maintenance and durability over a 40 year lifespan is by far the easiest and cheapest flooring option to have.

Benefits of Polished Concrete

Virtually every commercial or residential building constructed is built on a concrete slab. By polishing this existing concrete slab and not buying or importing other flooring materials, makes it hands down the most cost effective choice for a finished floor.

Once the concrete slab has been polished, there is no stripping and waxing, which is necessary to do on a periodic basis to maintain vinyl composite tile (VCT).

Damp mopping with neutral cleaners/reconditioning concrete cleaners, can clean, preserve and maintain the polished concrete floor for years to come. It's resistance to scuffs and tire marks, makes it a great choice for high traffic areas.

Only periodic buffing (annual/bi-annual) is needed and only light diamond polishing may be needed every 2-5 years, depending on traffic of the concrete floor.


We know that polished concrete is one of the most economical commercial flooring options available, but how do they look? They not only look great, but they can be compared to expensive looking natural stone. Adding color or staining concrete can add to the beauty and greatly enhance the look of the whole room.

Staining can be done to the entire floor or in patterns, figures, and whatever creative designs you can think of. Also, logos and lettering can be stenciled on the floor adding a personal touch to the concrete design.


Having a refective concrete surfaces will increase the lighting in a building and therefore reduce the use of power, saving hundreds, or even thousands per year in energy costs.


If you are interested in helping the environment and using eco-friendly materials in your building or home, having your concrete floors polished is a great choice. Using the existing slab and not using materials broght in from long distances, helps preserve the environment for production costs of materials and transportation costs bringing the material to the building.

If you would like to earn credits for a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) building, polishing the concrete floors will earn you credits, as there are no noticeable volatile organic compounds in the polishing process.

Modern Diamond Polishing Techniques

To attain a highly polished concrete floor, the use of industrial diamonds polishing pads are used to grind and polish the conrete floor. Heavy industial grinding/polishing floor machines are used in conjuction with the diamond polishing pads.

The grinding and polishing process is a mechanical action that starts with course grit diamond pads and progressively uses finer pads until the floor is smooth to the touch and reflective.

Both water and dry polishing processes are utilized in the polishing process and because HEPA vacuum cleaners are used, no dust is generated during the grinding and polishing process.

There are also floor hardners or densifiers used in the polishing process, which help harden and protect the floor. With the densification of the concrete it eliminates dusting from efflorescence, which adds to costly maintenance of an unpolished concrete floor.

The last step in the entire process is the introduction of a concrete sealers that both enhances the polished floor and helps protect from staining. These concrete sealers are another break through in technology that help maintain the beauty of concrete for the life of the floor.
