Customers require certain elements from their floors. Any flooring option installed over concrete requires a smooth, flat, and clean floor. In addition, there may be some residual product leftover when an old floor is removed due to carpet glue, tile mastic, or epoxy paint. In most cases, the old products must be completely removed for the new flooring product.
With our high production equipment, Ohio Concrete can help prepare the floor to receive a new coating, paint or adhesive. Our 32” machines can remove old coatings and prep the surface for new coatings in one to two steps depending on the customer’s required profile. For coatings over an 1/8” thick, a single pass from our shaver leaves a rough profile to allow the new coating to “bite in”. Our planetary grinders can remove material and flatten the floor at the same time.
In some cases, large stock removal is required so the new flooring installation will meet adjacent flooring. Terrazzo typically requires the removal of ¾” of concrete stock when installing in an existing building. The shaver can remove the stock necessary for the terrazzo or patching compounds.
These processes are dry and chemically free. The use of industrial vacuums keeps the dry waste contained making disposal by Ohio Concrete easy and safe.
Because polishing is a multi-step process, customers can choose the level of polished concrete sheen from satin to high-gloss that meets their maintenance and aesthetic requirements. This versatility makes polished concrete an ideal flooring material for a variety of applications. Concrete Polishing customers include:
- Large warehouses and warehouse outlets
- Retail stores throughout Ohio
- Ohio Hotels and restaurants
- Office buildings in Ohio cities
- Ohio Auto showrooms
- Private residences in Ohio
- Pharmaceutical manufacturers
Ease of maintenance is the key reason many Ohio warehouses and retail facilities are opting for polished concrete. Not only are polished floors easy to clean, requiring only occasional damp mopping, they hold up well to heavy forklift and foot traffic. They also eliminate the need for messy waxes or coatings as well as the associated labor, time, and expense to apply them. Once more, the glossy surface resists the marks of forklift truck tires and staining from oil and chemical spills.
Polished Concrete is a long lasting maintenance free finish that can harden the actual surface of your concrete floor, eliminating the need for coatings and sealers.
Want to project a bright, clean, professional image?
The high light reflectivity of polished concrete is an important benefit, especially for office buildings, hotels, restaurants, and other public facilities that require a professional look. Polished concrete floors are low-maintenance, as they are more durable and easier to clean than many flooring options.
Benefits to concrete polishing include:
- Polished concrete reduces lighting needs and improves natural lighting
- Polishing concrete makes old floors look new
- Polished Concrete flooring always meets and often exceeds OSHA standards for floors
- Ordinary cleaning removes blemishes from polished concrete floors
- Concrete polishing transforms porous concrete floors into tightened surfaces keeping fluids out
- Polished concrete floor eliminates dusting entirely
- Polished concrete floor areas can be put into service immediately after the process is complete
