While I've heard of Concrete Polishing before, it wasn't something that I envisioned for our old home. You see, whenever I thought about it, I remembered my High School building. Its concrete floor was polished, but it didn't look at all special. Sure, it was shiny, but these were offset by the various cracks and quick patchworks that were visible. They could have done better.
It's been about ten years, and once again I found myself contemplating the possibility for concrete polishing. Our home had fake wooden tiles (to which I admit having no love for whatsoever), which were already chipping here and there. I just had to remove it. The near perfect, concrete flooring below surprised me; it was practically untouched.
I definitely wanted to polish the concrete floor below. I remembered that the janitors back in High School didn't need to do a lot to maintain its shine, so it seemed ideal. However, I also did not want to end up with the cracked and patched mess that the school bulding had, so I poked around a Concrete Polishing website to ask for help.
The people in the forums were very friendly, and I found a contractor in my area soon enough. After talking for a bit, he decided to inspect the concrete floor in my home. My concerns, apparently, had something to do with the quality of the concrete before polishing. If the concrete needed a lot of patchwork, or if the finish was wavy, then he'd have to add a new layer before polishing. Luckily, and his trained eye detected little imperfections. Nothing he couldn't fix at any rate.
My High School undoubtedly had pretty high expectations with Concrete Polishing, and I don't blame them. Done right, polished concrete floor looks sleek and exciting. I'm gong to revisit soon and recommend my new contractor friend to them, and maybe check if any of the teachers I knew are still there.
I hope it works out for the school, in the same way that Concrete Polishing worked well for my house. Concrete Polishing, done right, is unlike any other flooring ever. - 16752
