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.
The popularity of this trend has grown rapidly as people have realised what it offers. Every type of business can, without too much disruption, install either a brand new concrete base, or resurface an old one. The amount of time taken is minimal, with the least amount of dust and damage and loss of trade.
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 addition of aggregates to the cement product is somewhat standard. The level of exposure of these little stones is a matter of choice. The more the concrete is ground down and polished away during the application, the more exposed the stones are and the more interesting the final result. No intense grinding will leave you with a floor covered in a lovely smooth, swirly pattern of concrete. As the concrete was smoothed over, you will reap the benefits of a truly original finish as no two floors will look identical. Colour powders can be added if desired.
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.
