Depending on the business, its services, and what an area is used for, companies should choose their flooring carefully. Polished concrete is one option for companies with plenty of traffic. A well-installed polished concrete floor can have a life span of decades, lasting longer than other types such as vinyl or wood. It is also easy to clean and maintain, as people only need to sweep or mop it from time to time to get rid of dust or dirt accumulation.
Polished concrete is a cost-effective solution, as it costs from $2 to $30 per square foot to finish, depending on the quality and type. It is also easy to repair, stain-resistant, and water and oil repellent. A polished concrete floor is also slip-resistant, and may be treated with sand or glass beads to provide even more traction. This technique is typically used in grip-sensitive environments like parking decks.
