Once considered a very cheap and industrial solution, meant only for yards and factory floors, cement flooring has evolved to the point of beauty. Selecting a commercial polished concrete floors contractor Johnson City should be an easy task as their work speaks for itself.
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.
The durable, gleaming floor will look great in whichever finish you opt for, whether you've selected a colour powder or gone with the original cement look. They will not disintegrate or flake and the condition will remain excellent for years into the future.
The addition of aggregates to the cement product is somewhat standard. The level of exposure of these little stones is a matter of choice. The more the concrete is ground down and polished away during the application, the more exposed the stones are and the more interesting the final result. No intense grinding will leave you with a floor covered in a lovely smooth, swirly pattern of concrete. As the concrete was smoothed over, you will reap the benefits of a truly original finish as no two floors will look identical. Colour powders can be added if desired.
Stage two of the grinding and polishing will reveal only the smallest amount of the aggregate beneath resulting in a salt and pepper look. The second stage can sometimes result in an uneven finish as the stones are not at a uniform depth beneath the surface. It will still be a special looking floor if you go this route.
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.
The final stage of the cement floor will be to polish it until it looks like it is wet. At the same time, the floor is slip resistant. Over a long period, natural erosion by foot traffic will occur. Because it's a natural product, it will remain looking good and regular maintenance and polishing will bring back the shine.
