Looking to get your concrete floors densified & polished?
If so, your search ends here!
Icon cemAntart specialist skills will ensure that the surface of the concrete is densified internally and inorganically. Then it’s polished with a penetrating hardener culminating in a flooring finish that is long-lasting. At the end of it, you have a surface that is much harder, resistant to abrasion, exhibits reflectivity and rendered free of dust.
By ensuring that the floor has reflective properties, it enhances the look and lighting of the floor in different facilities. In addition, increased ambient lighting helps cut down excess energy bills.
A polished concrete sports super shiny look. Yet, it does not lead to a slippery floor. On the contrary, it flattens the floor by mechanically grinding it while increasing the overall coefficient of friction when compared to ordinary concrete.
If properly installed and maintained, it guarantees healthy lifecycle span, well over 20 years. More importantly, it will not be vulnerable to common damages which means you cut down on unnecessary expenses.
There is no limit to what kind of aesthetic look you want. With endless design possibilities, a polished concrete can be installed in a broad array of colors and designs to reflect your taste.
You can extract substantial cost savings in the form of reduced energy and low maintenance costs. With reduced tire wear and reduction in upkeep like waxing and stripping, aided by ambient lighting and reflectivity, you further get the best value for your money.
NOTE: It meets ANSI standards for non-slipperiness.
NOTE: Do not apply until the surface is fully saturated.
A. It is important to incorporate a variety of elements – grinding, honing, grouting, polishing, and of course, densifying.
A. They get transformed, and appear more complete homogenous thickened out for want of a better term.
A. Typically, it can be done after 200 grit and before 400 grit. In case the floor is soft, an additional densification can be added to harden the floor.
A. It depends on what kind of floor you have. If you have a super-soft floor then you will need to grind away useless laitance on the surface with some sacrificial diamond tools and get densifier into the ground surface.
A. As early as it can be done. Then build it up before moving into the process with finer tools.
A. Apply at 100 grit and if required, apply a fine lick coat at 200 grit. Apply them thoroughly else an opportunity gets wasted to get the best out of the floor.
A. It is a quick and easy process. Use a microfiber pad to remove dirt, dust, and debris from the surface of the floor. Sweep daily and mop weekly while wash spills and stains immediately after noticing them.
Avoid usage of harsh cleaners that contain acidic properties; and soapy cleaners as they leave streak marks across the floor.
A. YES and NO. It can completely remove some stains through the grinding and polishing process. In some cases, however the stains cannot be removed fully.
A. 2 or more decades, as the polished concrete floors are highly-resistant and incredibly high-performing floors. They can last for over 20 years if they are installed by a professional with proper equipment and also if they are properly maintained throughout the years.
A. Each concrete job represents new and different circumstances. So each situation will need to be approached differently. But at the end of it, any structurally safe slab of concrete can be polished.
