The concrete in your home or business is akin to a blank canvas: So much can be done to it to make it more aesthetically pleasing. Plus, you dona��t have to sacrifice functionality if you decide to work on it. One concrete project that is rapidly gaining popularity is concrete polishing. We provide this service at Sandifera��s Stone & Tile Care, which provides several great benefits to a residence or business setting in Columbia, SC.
Homes
In the residential setting, savings is one of the top benefits of concrete polishing. Columbia, SC, polishing professionals will essentially use the concrete slab on grade as your finished floor space, thus eliminating the need for traditional floor coverings. Another benefit of polishing concrete in the residential setting is that a polished floor is not as susceptible to damage as other materials are, which means it will not need replacing. Scratches happen, but they can easily be touched up whenever youa��re ready. Polished floors are easy to keep clean as well, as they do not harbor allergens, dirt and dust. Youa��ll be amazed at how quickly you can sweep up a room without the ridges of wood or tile to contend with.
Businesses
Concrete polishing is highly valued in the commercial world because polishing makes your concrete surface more resistant to heavy foot traffic. As a result, you can enjoy a hardy floor without having to worry about moving big display cases in order to wax and then strip your floor. Your polished concrete floor is also easy to clean; all it needs is an occasional slightly wet mopping. Yet another benefit of polishing concrete is that concrete that has been polished allows your floor to breathe and gets rid of issues that may crop up with other types of flooring materials that actually seal off concrete a�� for example, tile. If youa��ve ever had mold in the floor underneath a tile surface, you know how much of a headache it can be.
Concrete Polishing Process
At Sandifera��s Stone & Tile Care, we use cutting-edge equipment and state-of-the-art technology to mechanically grind your concrete surface and expose the aggregate in the concrete. We then utilize diamond abrasives as well as stains, color dyes and impregnating hardeners to make your concrete surface look exactly how you want it to appear. You can end up with a floor with a high-gloss polish, a matte finish or something in between, depending on your preference. Both are attractive and add a new dimension to your home or businessa��s appearance.
