Concrete polishing involves mechanically grinding, honing, and refining a concrete floor with bonded abrasives. A penetrant chemical, known as a hardener, is applied to enhance the concrete's durability and resistance.

  • Commercial spaces
    Due to its durability and ease of maintenance, polished concrete is a popular choice for commercial spaces like retail stores, warehouses, and office buildings. It can withstand high foot traffic and heavy equipment, making it ideal for such environments.
  • Industrial facilities
    In industrial settings, such as factories and production areas, the floor's resilience is crucial. Polished concrete is resistant to chemicals and can be treated to be anti-static, making it a preferred choice.
  • Residential homes
    For modern homes aiming for a minimalist or industrial aesthetic, polished concrete offers a sleek and contemporary look. It's especially popular in open-plan living areas, kitchens, and even bedrooms.
  • Basements
    Given its moisture-resistant properties, polished concrete is an excellent option for basements, which are prone to dampness and water intrusion.
  • Schools
    Schools, colleges, and other educational facilities benefit from polished concrete due to its durability and low maintenance requirements. It's also a cost-effective solution for large areas.
  • Healthcare
    In places like hospitals and clinics, hygiene is paramount. Polished concrete doesn't harbor dust, mites, or allergens and is easy to clean, making it suitable for healthcare environments.
  • Outdoor areas
    Polished concrete can also be used in patios, walkways, and pool decks. When treated with specific sealers, it becomes slip-resistant, making it safe for outdoor use.

Sustainability and Environmental Impact

In today's environmentally-conscious era, the sustainability of polished concrete floors stands out. The process predominantly involves sanding down, sealing, and polishing existing concrete bases, eliminating the need for additional flooring materials. This approach ensures minimal chemical emissions, preserving both the external environment and indoor air quality. Plus, the compounds used in the process are virtually odourless, ensuring a pleasant experience during and after installation.

Value and Affordability

Concrete has long been a cost-effective flooring solution. Many homes in Weston-super-Mare are built on concrete bases, making polished concrete an economical choice. Traditional flooring options like vinyl, carpet, or wood are often laid over these concrete bases. By opting for polished concrete, homeowners can achieve a stunning finish without the added expense of additional materials. Additionally, its natural coolness reduces the need for air conditioning during hot summers, and its reflective properties can decrease indoor lighting costs.

One of the standout features of polished concrete is its low maintenance requirement. Unlike marble that can scuff or wooden floors that need regular waxing, polished concrete is resistant to scratches and stains. A simple wet mop is all it takes to keep it shining. Moreover, concrete floors are renowned for their longevity. Properly treated, they can serve well for over a century, making them a popular choice for high-traffic areas like council buildings, restaurants, and shopping centres in Weston-super-Mare.

For those with allergies or respiratory issues, polished concrete is a breath of fresh air. Traditional flooring options have crevices and joints that can harbour dust mites, germs, and other allergens. The seamless finish of polished concrete eliminates these hiding spots, promoting a healthier living environment.

Concrete is incredibly versatile. From a glossy "wet" look achieved through silicon-based sealants to a faux tile or wooden plank design, the possibilities are vast. Staining techniques allow for a spectrum of colours, and advanced grinding can reveal the aggregate fragments within the concrete, adding texture and depth. This adaptability ensures that every polished concrete floor can be as unique as the homeowner's vision.

A solid epoxy floor is one which is one single colour and is mostly used for commercial or factory flooring. Solis epoxys are cheaper than the designer epoxys because they do not need to hold the properties necessary to create, for instance a marble effect floor.

Designer epoxy floors and marble effect floors are almost the same but let us explain.

Designer epoxy floors are simply resin floors created using designer epoxy materials. Due to it’s fluidity you can create many different effects and the most popular effect on the market today is the ‘marble effect resin floor’.

3D and graphic floors are epoxy resin floors with a graphic that is carefully placed on top of the designer epoxy floor and then sealed in.

Using a 3D graphic gives the effect of things jumping out of the floor but most installations we do are business logos or favourite princesses and superheros in children’s bedrooms.
