Concrete Surface Preparation

Customers require certain elements from their floors. Some production spaces need a coated floor creating a complete barrier.

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 thicker coatings over a 1/8”, a single pass from our shaver allows our grinder to get more productive and aggressive. Paint, old glues and adhesives from carpet and tile are not a problem.

The process is dry and chemically free. The use of industrial vacuums keep the dry slurry contained making disposal by Ohio Concrete easy and safe.

If you or your customer is not interested in a coated floor,
a polished concrete floor can be provided. With the movement towards green products, a polished floor creates a natural, low maintenance surface. Most of the large retail warehouse stores utilize polished concrete in their facilities because it is easier to clean and reflects up to 30% more light.

Concrete polishing is a multi-step
process depending on the quality
of surface. The process uses diamonds to “sand” the concrete smooth similar to the sanding
wood. Each step utilizes a
different grit increment to create
a more reflective, smoother floor. With the use of industrial
vacuums, polishing is a dry,
fume-free process.

Polishing, in conjunction with floor stain or a painted border, provides
an affordable solution to other
products on the market.

Almost any structurally sound concrete floor, whether new or old, can be polished

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

Ohio Concrete specializes in the restoration and refinishing of many different types of concrete floors. These floors range from new construction to existing floors that prior to the grinding and polishing system may not have been saved without a type of complete resurfacing.
