Why Polished Concrete Floors Are Great for a Commercial Environment

Polished concrete floors are terrific for a commercial environment for a long list of reasons. In today’s blog article we are going to touch on a few of those reasons. An exhaustive treatment of the subject would be beyond the scope this short blog article.

Dust

Unpolished concrete floors create a lot of dust. This dust moves up through the concrete because of hydrostatic pressure. The dust gets into the air and on all surfaces nearby. Polished concrete eliminates this dust. The flooring is cleaner and creates a cleaner air environment nearby.

Economics

Polishing existing concrete floors is way less expensive than laying a new floor. Use what you have, make it look good, and while you are saving money, you are also doing something good for the environment because you are not buying things you do not need.

Volatile Organic Compounds

There are not VOC’s given off by polished concrete. This gives your employees and customers a cleaner air to breathe, and, also, makes the surface a useful addition to a green project or LEED certification.

Maintenance

Polished concrete floors require less maintenance than unpolished concrete because they are sealed. All that dust mentioned above requires constant maintenance in a commercial environment. In contract, the polished concrete looks great all the time. They are easy to clean and do not require waxing or stripping.

Lighting

When concrete floors are polished, they reflect more light. This creates a brighter environment, where you have more light for less effort. In a commercial environment, lighting is very important for the comfort of the individual and the efficiency of work to be done.

And if these advantages, noted above, were not enough, polished concrete looks terrific. Fix up your commercial space by simply polishing your concrete.
