Hudson Concrete Polishing's Concrete Polishing Artisans Are Transforming Urban Design

Polished Concrete is a term used to refer to concrete that has been hardened using a chemical densifier and then exposed to progressively finer grinding tools in order to produce a shiny finish. In most cases, the grinding tools utilize diamond grinding cup wheels and polishing pads that begin with relatively coarse grits and ultimately end up with very fine grit levels. Typically, concrete cannot be considered "polished" until a 400 grit diamond grinding cup wheel is used, though most professionals will polish the concrete with up to a 3,000 grit level wheel. The concrete can be colored or stained to enhance the finish and designs are often etched into the surface to provide interest and artistic touches.

Polished concrete is often used as an alternative flooring material due to it's relative cheap cost to install, it's durability and low maintenance requirements. It is often the flooring material of choice for both residential and commercial applications due to the fact that many buildings are constructed on concrete slabs. By polishing the existing material, homeowners and business owners alike can save a considerable amount of money and can be an easy first step towards creating a more eco-friendly building solution.

As mentioned previously, polished concrete floors offer a low maintenance flooring solution in that they do not require any specialized care and are easy to clean. In most cases, a weekly mopping with warm water and soap is all that is needed to keep a polished concrete floor looking great.

In addition to it's low maintenance needs, polished concrete floors are highly durable and promote a healthier indoor environment as the non-porous surface resists mold growth and discourages the reproduction of dust mites and other allergens. Many flooring solutions are softer and do not resist denting and chipping like concrete does. Even porcelain, which has an anticipated lifespan of 100 years is expected to fail before olished concrete flooring.

Anecdotal evidence also suggests that the high reflectibility of polished concrete floors decreases the need for supplemental lighting. Polished concrete floors are finished with a reflective surface which can recycle natural and artificial light well which reduces dependence on supplemental lighting and reduces overall operating costs.
