POLISHED CONCRETE FLOORS
A polished concrete floor will make use of a comparable progressive grinding and sealing technique as epoxy, but polishing it smooths the cement into a shiny, semi shine or matte finish after sealing. Concrete floors that are polished use a similar grind and seal process as epoxy floors – except that buffing concrete with progressively finer grit, refines the cement into a shiny, semi shine or matte finish. The same look as polished concrete flooring can be achieved with decorative concrete overlays, where the finish is more easily controllable in application and result. Self-leveling concrete floors can be poured in an hour, and result in an elegant, yet seamless look, often seen in galleries and showrooms, banquet halls and retail stores. This makes a wide variety of color options available.
