Advantages of Polished Concrete Floors

Enhanced Aesthetics:

The concrete floor polishing process creates a glossy surface, significantly enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the floor

Increased Hardness and Durability:

The polishing process uses chemical products to increase the hardness and durability of the concrete floor. This helps minimize the impact of external factors such as rain, sunlight, wind, abrasion, and scratches.

Reduced Maintenance Costs:

Polished concrete floors require less time and money for maintenance and repair. This helps save costs for maintaining your concrete floor over the long term.

Environmental Protection:

The concrete floor polishing process does not use harmful chemicals and produces no waste. Therefore, it is a safe and environmentally friendly option for renovating and decorating your concrete floors.

Some Basic Steps for Using DECO CRETE’s Concrete Polishing Solutions

Step 1: Use a grinding machine to inspect and repair all defects on the concrete floor surface. It’s recommended to use a concrete floor grinding machine combined with grinding discs to treat the surface. Handheld grinding machines can be used for corners and areas near walls.

Step 2: Clean the surface thoroughly with water and dye the concrete floor if requested by the client.

Step 3: Apply a hardening chemical to the concrete surface and wait for 15–30 minutes (depending on weather conditions) to allow the hardening chemical to penetrate the concrete.

Step 4: After applying the hardener, use a gloss-enhancing chemical on the concrete surface. Based on the client’s requirements and desired level of gloss, the construction team can select suitable products.

Step 5: Wait 30–60 minutes after applying the gloss-enhancing chemical (depending on weather conditions) and begin polishing the concrete floor using a heatpad. Depending on the area and location, appropriate polishing methods should be used to ensure the floor meets client expectations.

Step 6: Prepare an acceptance record and hand over the project.

Precautions Before and During Concrete Floor Polishing:

• The polishing process should be carried out by experienced professionals with adequate equipment to ensure the best results.
• Choose appropriate products and concrete polishing solutions and master the necessary polishing techniques—these are fundamental conditions before starting construction.
• Keep the floor clean: Cleaning the floor thoroughly before and after construction each day helps maintain the floor, saves time and costs, prevents long-term stains, and facilitates easier and faster polishing.
• Use specialized chemicals: Depending on the project’s requirements, select suitable chemicals for cleaning, hardening, and polishing concrete floors. Products like decoQUICKCUT can be used for both polishing and hardening concrete surfaces, saving costs and construction time.
• Avoid colored cleaning chemicals: Before polishing, concrete is highly absorbent and prone to discoloration due to colored chemicals, which can affect its aesthetics. Avoid using such products to expedite the process.
