As the concrete resurfacing and polishing experts in New York City, Chynna Concrete has seen more and more people opting to use concrete on their floors, which is a beautiful and durable alternative to hardwood, carpet, or tile. Unlike these other types of flooring, concrete floors are much better for properties that experience heavy foot traffic. Not only will the new flooring be resistant to heavy wear and tear, but the very nature of concrete makes it easy to clean, as well as being stain-proof.

If you're thinking of having a concrete floor installed, it's important to understand the installation requires a significant amount of preparatory work. Floor boards need to be removed, and depending on the type of concrete and the design, the installer may need to excavate the floor, removing significant pieces of the foundation or previous concrete in order to achieve the appropriate depth. Once they've reached the correct depth, they then lay down the insulation board followed by extremely careful pouring and leveling.

Overlayment can help repair a worn-down concrete floor that's seen better days. The process involves pouring and paving a new layer of concrete onto an old one.

For those with environmental concerns, you'll be happy to know that concrete flooring is also environmentally friendly, since the process doesn't require the extreme use of natural resources. The mixing process is usually done locally, so you don’t have to worry about long-distance treks causing a large carbon footprint.

Whether you choose a complete concrete floor installation or an overlayment, no concrete floor is complete without a polish. Chynna Concrete use various grits and a specific diamond tooling system that hardens and creates a strong, shiny, glass-like surface. Because of their technique, they can forgo using potentially toxic sealers or waxes, making the concrete polishing incredibly environmentally friendly and easy to maintain.
