Polished concrete is a specialized type of flooring created by mechanically grinding, honing, and polishing a concrete surface to achieve a smooth, reflective, and highly durable finish. The process often involves multiple steps, starting with coarse grinding to remove imperfections, followed by finer grinding to achieve the desired level of smoothness. A chemical densifier is applied to the concrete during the process, which reacts with the concrete to harden and seal the surface.
Unlike regular concrete, which is usually left unfinished or covered with other materials like carpet, tile, or epoxy, polished concrete becomes a finished floor on its own. Its glossy or matte appearance gives it a more refined and decorative look. Additionally, polished concrete is easier to maintain and has a longer lifespan compared to coatings or other floor coverings. This makes it popular in commercial, industrial, and residential settings where aesthetics, durability, and cost-effectiveness are priorities.
Polished concrete is often perceived as slippery because of its smooth and shiny appearance, but in reality, it is not inherently more slippery than other types of hard flooring. The slip resistance of polished concrete largely depends on its finish and the environment in which it is used. For instance, a high-gloss finish might appear slick, but its surface still offers sufficient grip under normal conditions.
To address specific concerns, anti-slip additives or surface treatments can be applied to polished concrete during or after the polishing process. For areas prone to water exposure, such as bathrooms, kitchens, or outdoor spaces, these treatments can significantly improve traction. Additionally, the texture of the concrete can be adjusted during the grinding process to make the surface more slip-resistant.
In commercial or industrial environments where safety is a concern, polished concrete often exceeds safety standards when combined with these treatments. Regular cleaning and maintenance also help ensure the floor remains safe, as accumulated dust or liquids can increase the risk of slipping.
Polished concrete is one of the most durable flooring options available. Its strength comes from the natural properties of concrete combined with the densification and polishing process. The densifier used during polishing fills the pores of the concrete, making it harder and more resistant to wear and tear. This enhanced durability allows polished concrete to withstand heavy foot traffic, heavy equipment, and impacts without cracking or chipping easily.
In commercial and industrial settings, polished concrete can handle the weight of forklifts, machinery, and heavy loads, making it ideal for warehouses, factories, and retail stores. In residential settings, polished concrete is resistant to scratches and stains, making it perfect for kitchens, living areas, and garages. Its durability also makes it a long-term investment, as it can last for decades with minimal maintenance.
Furthermore, polished concrete is resistant to moisture and chemicals when sealed correctly. This makes it less prone to damage from spills, making it a practical choice for both interior and exterior spaces. Periodic cleaning and occasional re-polishing (in high-traffic areas) can keep the floor looking like new for many years.
The cost of polished concrete varies depending on several factors, including the condition of the existing concrete, the size of the area, the desired level of polish, and any additional customization. On average, the cost ranges from $3 to $12 per square foot.
The condition of the existing concrete can also affect the price. If the concrete requires significant repair or preparation, such as filling cracks, leveling, or removing existing flooring, the overall cost will be higher. Despite the upfront expense, polished concrete is cost-effective in the long run due to its durability and low maintenance requirements.
Polished concrete floors are known for being low-maintenance, but they still require proper care to preserve their shine and longevity. Regular maintenance includes sweeping or vacuuming to remove dust and dirt, which can act as abrasives and dull the surface over time. For deeper cleaning, damp mopping with a neutral pH cleaner is recommended, as harsh or acidic chemicals can damage the polished surface.
To maintain the floor’s gloss, avoid using abrasive cleaning tools like steel wool or harsh scrub brushes. Instead, use microfiber mops or soft bristle brooms. Spills should be cleaned promptly to prevent stains, although polished concrete is highly resistant to staining compared to untreated concrete or other flooring types.
In high-traffic areas, occasional re-polishing or burnishing may be needed to restore the floor’s shine. This process involves using a special polishing pad and a burnishing machine to buff the surface back to its original state. While this isn’t required frequently, it helps extend the life of the polished finish.
For businesses or industrial settings, implementing a routine maintenance plan with professional cleaners can ensure the floor remains in top condition. With proper care, polished concrete floors can last decades while retaining their aesthetic appeal.
If you follow our maintenance and cleaning guidelines, you should not have to worry about resealing the concrete floor coating. We offer a professional grade cleaner that will easily remove stains or tire marks, but will also preserve the life of your concrete coating topcoat.

Polyaspartic Concrete coating is another name for Aliphatic Polyurea, which is a hybrid material consisting of ester and other materials. It was originally developed to coat metal bridges. It was later used to coat concrete flooring due to its durability and moisture resistance. Polyurea is also used to coat truck bed liners.
