When most people are asked to list common floor materials, they'll probably mention wood, tile, stone, and maybe linoleum. If you ask them to list only elegant and durable materials, the list might be limited to tile and stone; in all likelihood, cement will probably not be on either list, however it should be. Concrete polishing has become one of the most popular floor choices for residential, retail, business, industrial, and medical buildings. Your favorite mall, restaurant, office complex, or resort may have polished concrete, you just thought it was something else.
Concrete polishing transforms cement slabs into a beautiful, contemporary floor. They are becoming increasingly popular among architects, designers, and builders because they are available in a wide range of colors, styles, and designs. These floors are also extremely durable and easy to maintain. Unlike wood, carpet, or tile there are no edges or fibers for dirt or bacteria to collect, so they are the smart choice for hospitals, kitchens, kennels, and any other space where sanitation is key.

Polished concrete is also a smart and safe choice. Garages, warehouses, and industrial facilities appreciate the non-porous surface, so moisture and chemicals are not trapped on the floor's surface. They feature non-slip surfaces with a coefficient of friction that exceeds the federal guidelines recommended by OSHA.
It's also an eco-friendly choice. Since concrete polishing uses the existing surface, there's no need for lumber, petroleum products, or other natural resources. Specialists use a high torque grinding machine to first grind and then polish the surface. These machines are equipped with a dustless vacuum system so the process is clean and virtually dust free. These floors are also popular among builders because they can literally be used immediately after the polishing is completed. These shining surfaces also improve interior lighting; they reflect light and add to the existing light, often reducing energy costs.
Polished concrete can be stained or dyed in literally hundreds of shades and colors. Surface treatments can vary from a subtle matte to a high shinny gloss finish. Almost any concrete surface can be polished if it is in good condition. If the floor is cracked or uneven, self-leveling concrete can be laid to create a new surface. Color chips and glass can be added to create many different designs and patterns.
So the next time you're out on the town, enjoying a shopping spree, or just attending to business, look down. That beautiful floor may look like stone or tile, but there's a very good chance, it's polished concrete.
