                                       Finish Systems

While it is relatively new as a construction finish product, polished concrete is rapidly growing in popularity because of its many advantages. It utilizes existing concrete surfaces, eliminating the need for additional materials such as coverings or coatings and paving the way toward a sustainable building. These concrete-densifying finish systems in North America typically contain no noticeable VOCs, making them friendly for any USBG LEED project.

The polishing procedure to achieve polished concrete generally improves the qualities of its surface, including improved abrasion resistance and better light reflectivity. The reflective properties of a polished concrete floor increase the lighting in your facilities. This increased ambient lighting helps reduce the energy bill and looks beautiful at the same time. Studies have shown that better-lit workplaces are more productive spaces. Polished concrete is also an excellent flooring choice for those with asthma or other respiratory illnesses. It will not mold or mildew and does not release VOCs.

The Pros of Concrete-
Densifying Finish Systems

As concrete ages, surface stress, delamination, curled cold joints, and other problems can arise. Mechanically grinding the floor will remove the old concrete's top surface. Then, densifying and polishing it will strengthen the concrete, increasing its impact and abrasion resistance. Polished concrete, though quite shiny, does not create a slippery floor. In fact, the benefits of mechanically grinding and flattening the floor do not significantly change the coefficient of friction when compared to ordinary concrete. Polished concrete to 1,000 grit exceeds OSHA (.5) and ADA (.6) slip resistance standards for floors.

At ProCote, we use penetrating lithium silicate densifying and sealing products in the concrete polishing process. Lithium silicate, combined with our signature stain protection products, transforms a porous concrete floor into a tightened floor that is dense enough to substantially increase the concrete's ability to repel liquids and stains. These advanced concrete-densifying finish systems help slow down or prevent the penetration of water, oil, paint, and other contaminants into the surface, giving you time for a proper cleanup.
