Polished concrete in Austin and Central Texas is quickly becoming a common flooring choice for industrial, commercial, and residential projects in Central Texas for commercial general contractors . The benefits of concrete polishing are nearly unmatched when comparing overall cost throughout the life cycle of the floor. Polished concrete can be a very GREEN solution qualifying for LEED points on specific project applications. Some of the larger commercial projects are moving away from specifiying vct and older flooring options and going with polished concrete for the significant savings and ease of maintenance with polished concrete. Concrete can be diamond ground and polished to a natural brilliant shine without heavy topical coatings to achieve a floor that is abrasion, spill, and tire mark resistant. We can create a smooth honed finish to a mirror-like shine or from a cream finish to the look of terrazzo with large or small exposed aggregate. From decorative scoring to patterns with different colors, the possibilities are limited only by the imagination. Whether your project is in the planning stage or ready for flooring installation we can provide you or the general contractors involved with the specs or information needed to achieve a concrete polishing experience to be proud of.
First a rough grinding or a removal of old and dirty coverings is performed.

Polished concrete is rapidly becoming the flooring system of choice for commercial and industrial facilities. From warehouses to showrooms, government buildings to retail facilities, polished concrete is a very economical, practical, and highly decorative flooring system for just about every project.Unlike temporary surface coatings, polished concrete requires less maintenance, has a longer performance life, and is extremely durable. Eliminating the need for a topical coating will result in savings from not only the coating itself, but frequent re-coatings, the finishes and strippers used to maintain the coatings, and fewer man hours for cleaning and maintenance.

While the initial installation cost for polished concrete may exceed other flooring options, the savings in maintenance and the lack of need to recoat/replace will by far be substantially less over a longer period. Once your floor is ground and polished, the cost to refinish will only be a fraction of the initial installation cost.

*Figures taken from a study by Jeff Bishop, Certification Board Chairman Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification, Vancouver, WA.Includes re-installations at 5 year intervals for epoxy, 10 years for carpet, and 20 years for vinyl. Figures based upon 10,000 sq.ft.installation with a 20% inflation increase per 10 year increment. These figures are not exact nor do they represent the cost incurred with every flooring application
