Polished Concrete - Townsville

Polished concrete refers to a concrete floor that has been treated with a chemical densifier and then ground down with progressively finer grinding tools. The grinding tools are usually diamond-impregnated pads that get progressively finer with each step in the process. After the concrete is ground, it is polished with a high-speed polisher containing diamond-impregnated pads. The number of pads used depends on the desired level of shine and smoothness.
Polished concrete is different from other types of concrete flooring because it has a much higher level of shine and smoothness. It is an excellent choice for high-traffic areas such as commercial kitchens, retail stores, and office buildings.

1. Aesthetics: Polished concrete can be designed to suit any taste and decor. It is available in a wide range of colours and finishes.

3. Easy maintenance: Polished concrete is easy to clean and maintain. It does not require the use of harsh chemicals or cleaners.
4. Safety: Polished concrete is a slip-resistant surface, making it safe for pedestrians and vehicles.
5. Sustainability: Polished concrete is a sustainable flooring option as it is made from recycled materials and does not require the use of harmful chemicals or cleaners.
