When you want your concrete to sparkle, look no further than the concrete polishing systems from West Coast Epoxy in Vallejo. We use modern concrete technology to stain, polish, and then protect your brand-new colored concrete floor.
The Polished Concrete Process
Here are the typical steps involved when polishing concrete:
- Grinding – A strong grind of the existing concrete eliminates abnormalities and guarantees the floor sealers bond permanently. We use superior industrial vacuum machines to collect the dust produced during the grind.
- Leveling – Areas with deterioration or cracks are refloated to the same level as the rest of the concrete. This way the polish is 100% solid and even.
- Staining – The concrete floor is infused, not just coated, with a color stain of your choosing. Any desired patterns are also added at this step. Stains can be heavy, hiding the concrete grain, or translucent, enabling patterns in the concrete to show through like polished wood.
- Transparent protective coat – Floor sealants applied above the polished floor fill the pores and bring out the fabulous gloss. These clear sealers bond to the smoothed-out concrete with considerable strength, creating a floor that is very low maintenance. For areas where heavy traffic is commonplace, we lay down a thicker coat of protective sealers to compensate.
Concrete polishing provides the optimal in decorative durability, for both home and business, while simultaneously providing chemical and scratch resistance. This system is best for companies wanting a colorful, enduring, and low-maintenance floor surface in their industrial or commercial building, as well as for homeowners wanting a decorative floor that is simply maintained.
