FAQs
Q: How long does the grinding and polishing process take?
Depending on size, the floor will take approximately two days for every one thousand square feet. Smaller areas will take longer because it is more difficult to get a consistent product in smaller areas with smaller equipment that is needed.
Q: I have expansion joints throughout my floor, are these filled with crack sealer also?
Expansion joints need to expand and contract. The crack filler dries as hard as concrete and does not expand and contract. We use specially formed expansion joint filler that will not affect the performance of your concrete flooring.
Q: I want a stain to be applied; will the color be consistent throughout the floor?
Concrete stains are translucent; some areas of the floor will absorb more stain and some less. Areas that have had spills or previous sealing or epoxy may look discolored even after the stain is applied. The colors will be darker in some areas and lighter in some, depending on the composition and history of the floor.
Q: Is a polished concrete floor more slippery?
No. Just because a floor is shiny, does not mean it is slippery. Polished concrete floors meet or exceed ADA and OSHA slip coefficient requirements. A clean, well-maintained floor will have greater slip resistance, but a floor that is dirty and not well maintained is prone to slips and falls.
Q: Is polished concrete environmentally friendly?
Polished concrete uses very little chemicals during the finishing process. Due to the low cost to maintain, as well as not needing chemical treatments during the refinishing process, a polished concrete floor is LEED compliant.
