When you want your concrete to shine, look no further than the concrete polishing technique used by West Coast Epoxy in San Jose. We use modern concrete technology to stain, polish, and then protect your newly colored concrete floor.
How We Polish Concrete
Here are the usual steps involved when polishing concrete:
- Grinding – A strong grind of the present concrete eliminates abnormalities and guarantees the floor sealers stick permanently. We use top quality industrial vacuum equipment to collect the dust produced during the grind.
- Leveling – Areas with cracks are refloated to the same level as the rest of the concrete. This ensures the concrete is one hundred percent level.
- Staining – The concrete floor is infused, not just coated, with a color stain of your choice. Your selected patterns are also added at this time. Stains can be heavy, obscuring the concrete grain, or translucent, allowing patterns in the concrete to shine through like polished wood.
- Clear protective layer – Floor sealants applied on top of the polished floor fill the pores and emphasize the impressive gloss. These clear sealers bond to the smoothed concrete with considerable strength, creating a floor that is very low maintenance. For areas where heavy traffic is expected, we can apply a thicker coat of protective sealers to compensate.
Concrete polishing offers the finest in decorative durability while additionally offering chemical and scratch resistance. This method is good for enterprises wanting a colorful, tougher, and low-maintenance floor surface in their industrial or commercial facility, or for homeowners wanting an outstanding floor that is readily maintained.
