What Are Some Custom Concrete Polishing Options?

Polished Concrete is a cost-effective and durable material for building, but sometimes its minimalist style can be a little drab. So, what can be done to maintain all the advantages of polished concrete while improving its aesthetic appeal? In today’s blog we will be covering some of the custom options that can be integrated into polished concrete to make it really stand out.

One of the most visually striking additions that can be made to polished concrete is adding color. Color can help bring your polished concrete surface to life and make it even more aesthetically pleasing. The color for polished concrete can be provided in several different ways, each offering its own unique benefits. The first of these we will be covering is Colored Aggregates, which involves mixing colored particulate into your concrete.

One of the main advantages of colored aggregates is that they add texture as well as color and are directly integrated into the composition of the concrete itself making it unlikely to fade. Another option for coloring your concrete is using concrete stain. Concrete Stain, unlike paint, seeps into the surface of the concrete rather than just coating the surface creating a durable, colorful surface that is ideal for high traffic and outdoor areas. The final option we will be covering are dyes, which allow for more vivid and saturated colors than the other two but aren’t quite as durable.

Another option that can be added are custom patterns, which can include personalized logos or designs that can be stamped onto the concrete or designs created by directly cutting into the concrete such as Saw Cut Patterns. Saw Cut Patterns are patterns cut into the concrete by heavy duty saws before the final polishing process. The patterns are used to mimic the look of tiling, brick work or even natural stone without the difficulty of using one of those materials.

We hope that we have provided you with a solid guide to some of the custom concrete options we offer. These options can add uniqueness to your polished concrete project, and we hope to hear from you for all your polished concrete needs.
