Polished concrete is an architectural finish that combines the use of diamond grinding in combination with chemical densification and hardening to produce a smooth surface that is durable, light-reflective, and easy to maintain. Some typical uses for polished concrete include schools, airports, retail spaces, casinos, restaurants, warehouses, manufacturing buildings, hospitals and medical facilities, office complexes, public libraries, and other public use areas subject to high foot traffic.

Polished concrete does not require a film forming “sealer”. A stain guard penetrating sealer is often used to protect the polished surface at the time of installation. Over time additional coats of penetrating stain guard can be applied to maintain the level of protection.

Polished concrete is best maintained by regular dry brooming. Occasional wet mopping with a pH neutral soap and water solution will help with any dirt and contamination. Never use acid or aggressive cleaner to maintain polished concrete.

It is ideal for industrial warehouses, commercial spaces, retail outlets, and airports where durability and low maintenance are critical.
