If your polished concrete floor starts to lose its shine, buffing it can restore the glossy finish. You can either hire a professional or use a floor buffer with a polishing pad to get that brand-new look back. https://bit.ly/3bFojPS #TuesdayTips #PolishedConcrete #C3DiamondFloors

Avoid leaving standing water on your polished concrete floors, as it can lead to unsightly water stains. Promptly wipe up spills and puddles to maintain the pristine appearance of your floors. https://bit.ly/3bFojPS #TuesdayTips #PolishedConcreteFloors #PolishedConcrete

Maximum absorption = Maximum adhesion 🇺🇸💪🏼🇺🇸💪🏼🇺🇸

Diamond grinding a slab to reduce elevation inequalities and minimize slab undulations justifies the process. Concrete that is sealer free and only slightly dirty could possibly be prepped a different way. In cases where a grinder is a must, the only other issue will be the removal of the fine dust the process produces. Concrete pores that become packed full can be effectively de-dusted by way of a shotblaster. The video documents an already ground slab that only needs the fine dust fully removed. The process is dust free, leaves an absorbent canvas and is done using 110V power. 🇩🇪🤝🇺🇸 #SURFACEPREPARATION #SHOTBLASTER

Check out these samples of aggregate levels 👇 Polished concrete exposes the rock and sand inside. Different levels reveal varying aggregate sizes. 👉Cream Polished: Keeps a marbled surface look. 👉Salt and Pepper: Exposes fine aggregates. 👉Exposed Aggregate: Shows medium to large pieces. Polished aggregate floors add durability and style! Which type do you like the best?

Rough concrete can be ground smooth. But what about the elevation change that results from a surface being reduced to its lowest pit’s depth? What’s left is a low spot sometimes referred to as a “bird bath”. In instances where surface spalls and divots exist, Shotblasting might be the best option. Though it doesn’t smooth the surface, it removes the dirt and opens the concrete’s pores. Then the damage can be patched and subsequently ground. The result is a smooth surface that’s likely to resemble its original intended flatness. 🇩🇪🤝🇺🇸 #SHOTBLASTER #SURFACEPREPARATION

Avoid cleaning your polished concrete floors with extremely hot water. High temperatures can compromise the sealant. Use lukewarm water for best results. https://bit.ly/3bFojPS #TuesdayTips #PolishedConcreteFloors #PolishedConcrete

Cement-based floor finishing solutions are a great way to achieve a durable, smooth, and aesthetically pleasing surface. There are several approaches depending on the desired look and use of the space, such as cement screeds, polished concrete, or self-leveling compounds 4B Contracting Always Have a Solution. #CementFlooring #FloorFinishing #PolishedConcrete #ConstructionSolutions #4BContracting #QualityConstruction #SelfLevelingCompounds

Polished concrete works great where a low maintenance and abrasion resistant finish is needed. Foot and wheeled traffic do little to degrade the durable surface. One of its few performance limitations, though, is its inability to mask color variation or areas that have been patched. The choice, therefore, to do a polish may require some flexibility for preexisting conditions. The video documents an unforeseen circumstance of polishing an existing slab. The concrete had carpet and vinyl covering it. Once these old materials were removed, and the floor was planned to be polished, some accommodation had to be made for data and electrical boxes. 🇺🇸💪🏼🇺🇸💪🏼🇺🇸 #POLISHEDCONCRETE #SURFACEPREPARATION
