Why You Absolutely Should Have Your Concrete Polished

You might be asking yourself, why on Earth would I need to have my concrete polished? What difference does it make whether my concrete floors are shiny or not? The answer is that if you value eco-friendliness, affordability, durability, and style in your flooring, then you should absolutely consider concrete polishing services courtesy of Diamond Kote.

One increasingly popular reason why people are choosing to have their concrete polished is because of how eco-friendly of an option it is when it comes to flooring. If you are removing old carpet or tile from an existing concrete floor and are searching for a greener alternative, then concrete polishing services should be your choice. By choosing to polish your existing concrete as opposed to covering it up, you will be cutting down on the use of potentially environmentally harmful products used for flooring. Additionally, choosing to polish and not cover your concrete will be a step towards having an L.E.E.D. certified building, signifying to your customers that you are taking initiative when it comes to sustainability.

Now, you may be thinking that being eco-friendly is great, but at the end of the day you are looking to upgrade your concrete flooring to improve your business. So how do concrete polishing services impact your bottom line? Choosing to go with polished concrete will save you money in the short term and the long term. Initial installation costs can be as low as $4 per square foot, saving you money compared to other flooring options right off the bat. Also, concrete polishing will save money in the long term because maintenance and cleaning costs are significantly lower and less frequent than they are for other flooring alternatives.

Another reason why concrete polishing services from Diamond Kote are perfect for your floors is just how durable polished concrete is. When you are committing to a flooring surface, you want it to be the last decision you’ll make about your flooring for the foreseeable future. Some surfaces will leave you looking for a replacement in just a couple years. But polished concrete will stand the test of time. Polished concrete floors have greater abrasion resistance than unfinished concrete, fight the absorption of oil, resist tire tracks, and will not fall victim to lifting, peeling, or flaking. If durability is a priority when you’re selecting your next floor surface, then concrete polishing is the way to go.

A huge benefit of concrete polishing is how customizable it can be. People tend to think that with concrete you really only have one option in terms of style, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. First, you have the option to choose what kind of sheen finish you would like on your polished concrete floor, ranging from satin to high gloss. On top of that, coloring and designs can be added during the polishing process. This wide range of design options allows you to find a color and finish that is in line with either your personal tastes or your business’s brand.

With its numerous advantages, it is no surprise that polished concrete is an increasingly popular choice for flooring. To learn more about how concrete polishing services from Diamond Kote Resurfacing can help you, call today at (860) 571-8743.
