Why Commercial Polished Concrete Floors Contractor Johnson City Are Raving

By Clara E. Cordasco


Once considered a very cheap and industrial solution, meant only for yards and factory floors, cement flooring has evolved to the point of beauty. Selecting a commercial polished concrete floors contractor Johnson City should be an easy task as their work speaks for itself.

The fact that your property may already have old tiles, or vinyl floors, or even wood, will not be a problem as the surface below that can easily be used in the final flooring. The old floors will be removed and the concrete below checked and repaired. All crack and unevenness will be resolved and fixed. If necessary, a layer will be poured over the top to ensure that they are working with a quality base. The finished cement surface is durable, easy to clean and will look good for many, many years. This makes it ideal for business properties such as restaurants and shops.

The popularity of this trend has grown rapidly as people have realised what it offers. Every type of business can, without too much disruption, install either a brand new concrete base, or resurface an old one. The amount of time taken is minimal, with the least amount of dust and damage and loss of trade.

The durable, gleaming floor will look great in whichever finish you opt for, whether you've selected a colour powder or gone with the original cement look. They will not disintegrate or flake and the condition will remain excellent for years into the future.

The small stones, or aggregate that makes up the flooring can be completely concealed or revealed. This will depend on what you choose and how much grinding and polishing you choose to have done. Every floor is as unique as the stones are. Each result is interesting and beautiful in its own right. Choosing to only polish up the floor will offer a uniquely patterned floor, glossy and smooth. This is where your colour option would look the best

If you opt to start buffing and grinding to reveal the aggregate within the floor, the next stage will be a light grinding which will reveal only the tips of the little stones, leaving you with a kind of salt and pepper result. This is not always an even finish though as the stones may not always be at exactly the same depth beneath the top layer.

Should you choose to continue grinding to the next stage, you will reveal the multiple irregular, rough looking stones below the surface. This is the best result one could get from this flooring. Again, completely original and individual, depending on the stones used and the colours will range giving a wonderful finish.

The final stage of the cement floor will be to polish it until it looks like it is wet. At the same time, the floor is slip resistant. Over a long period, natural erosion by foot traffic will occur. Because it's a natural product, it will remain looking good and regular maintenance and polishing will bring back the shine.
