For a garage you need a durable floor, something that can withstand tools and garden furniture being dropped and dragged to a vehicle regularly parking up, and polished concrete stands out as a robust option.
The surface of polished concrete is hard and resistant to wear and tear. It can bear the weight of heavy vehicles without cracking or chipping, making it a long-lasting solution for garages. The polishing process strengthens the concrete, increasing its resistance to abrasions and impacts. This means that the floor remains in optimal condition, even with the daily movement of cars and the use of heavy tools or equipment.
These floors in a garage setting are highly valued for their resistance to a variety of chemicals. This is a crucial feature, given that garages often become the site of spills involving oils, solvents, and other potentially damaging substances. The chemical resistance of polished concrete ensures that it remains unaffected by such incidents.
The surface of polished concrete is treated to be non-porous, which means that spills do not seep into the material but rather remain on the surface. This facilitates easy cleaning, allowing for the prompt removal of chemicals without leaving behind stains or damages. Whether it’s motor oil, cleaning solvents, or other automotive fluids, the polished concrete surface can be quickly cleaned, ensuring that the garage maintains a clean and professional appearance.
When properly installed and maintained, they can last 20 years or more. Their resilience against heavy loads, spills, and general wear and tear makes them an excellent choice for garage flooring. To maintain their appearance and protect the surface, polished concrete floors should be resealed every 2 to 5 years, depending on the level of use and exposure to elements like moisture and chemicals. Regular resealing helps preserve the shine, enhances stain resistance, and prevents damage from oil spills, tire marks, and other common garage hazards.
