Polished concrete is an appealing flooring choice for a variety of reasons. It’s low maintenance, attractive, and protects bare floors from experiencing a great deal of wear and tear. Because concrete materials can vary widely, there is often some confusion as to whether or not all concrete floors can be polished. For the answer to this, as well as efficient and high-quality concrete polishing services, residents in the Tri-State area turn to New York City’s Chynna Concrete.

According to these professionals, polishing will generally be a success as long as the surface in question is in good condition, with no cracks or water damage. On brand new concrete floors, it is recommended the flooring be installed for a minimum of 28 days before starting the polishing process. This gives the concrete time to settle in and harden properly. If polishing is planned ahead of time, it may be a good idea to request that a freshly poured floor be smoothed out as much as possible.

Applying the polish over leftover grime can ruin the overall effect and leave the floor with visible blemishes. For floors that are already installed, there are some factors that may hinder them from being in a suitable condition for polishing. Floors should typically not be wavy, porous, or need considerable patching.  

Regardless of whether you want to polish a new or an existing concrete floor, it’s always best to hire an expert contractor to complete the work. They will make certain the right products and equipment are used to prevent damage and achieve optimal results.
