Why Commercial Polished Concrete Floors Contractor Johnson City Are Raving

By Clara E. Cordasco


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.

Pre-existing wood and tiled flooring can be removed to reveal the original cement floor. Then, depending on the integrity of these floors, it is repaired, levelled and then polished up. In the worst cases the surface would have to be concreted from scratch in order to get the best finish. The floors, once finished, are long-lasting, hygienic and good looking, especially in high traffic public areas, such as commercial properties.

Retail, industrial, hospitality and food service markets are eagerly embracing the trend. Worn cement can be resurfaced and polished up without creating too much surrounding damage with dust and grit. New surfaces are just as quickly installed. The job is finished in a short time, allowing for minimum disruption to the business.

A limited range of colour can be added, leaving the decor options open to match whatever you choose. Even the basic grey cement colour will look classy and stylish once it's polished and gleaming. The finish is long-lasting and will not peel or flake making them a smart choice. You won't be required to redo your floors every couple of years.

The small stones, or aggregate that makes up the flooring can be completely concealed or revealed. This will depend on what you choose and how much grinding and polishing you choose to have done. Every floor is as unique as the stones are. Each result is interesting and beautiful in its own right. Choosing to only polish up the floor will offer a uniquely patterned floor, glossy and smooth. This is where your colour option would look the best

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.

Should you choose to continue grinding to the next stage, you will reveal the multiple irregular, rough looking stones below the surface. This is the best result one could get from this flooring. Again, completely original and individual, depending on the stones used and the colours will range giving a wonderful finish.

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.
