| Q: What is polished concrete? |
| A: By now just about everyone in America and beyond knows of, has seen or even owns polished marble, granite or even terrazzo. These make beautiful countertops, decorative tables, floors and stunning staircases. Usually you see these surfaces in courthouses, libraries, State and Federal buildings, and "upper-class" homes. Polished concrete has erupted in the United States less than a decade ago as the low cost solution to a high class problem. Just about everyone has concrete around their home, the garage, the walkway, entryway, porch or just about anywhere. Existing slabs can be polished using simple machinery utilizing progressively finer grit diamonds to hone the hardened concrete into a highly reflective and aesthetically pleasing surface. |
| Q: What is the benefit to polishing concrete? |
| A: When done properly, polished concrete can last just as long as the other natural stones, with a lot less maintenance. Cement is relatively cheap, in fact because it can be poured, cement can be molded into any shape you can imagine. Sinks, patio furniture, lawn ornaments, or any other number of uses can be possible with the addition of concrete. |
| Q: Want to set yourself apart? |
A: Broadcast pieces of broken glass, different colors of aggregate, computer chips, anything that defines your personality can be polished to bring out your individuality. Polished concrete becomes smoother the more we walk on it, drive on it and roll things across it. It can be easily patched, easily added to or covered over. With the proper application of sealers, it is very difficult to stain by spills. It can be saw cut and grouted to add effect, acid etched or chemically stained to add color. Polished concrete is so smooth that bubble gum won't even stick to it!
Countertops, furniture and floors are only the beginning. Homes all across America are finding out about this well kept secret and are customizing their homes and businesses with what was once a plain and unattractive necessity of life. If your tired of replacing your VCT, Linoleum or even carpet due to moisture emission problems, then it is time to think about polishing that slab! |
