Whether it's an existing concrete floor, indoors or outdoors, concrete floors are loved for their spectacular shine and beautiful appearance. However, the fact is that they might attract dirt and grunge (even though gradually), they do need to be cleaned every periodically. This is to ensure that your floors remain a lustrous look forever!
Xtreme Polishing Systems provides professional concrete polishing products, as well as residential and commercial equipment, concrete chemicals and MORE! We have exquisite industry experience and our professionals are trained to deliver the customer service and guidance you're seeking to prepare and execute your concrete floor from start to finish.
Due to the recent developments and advanced techniques in the concrete polishing industry, we guarantee to provide the proper protective sealer products to help your floors shine more than you could ever imagine; shining like linoleum or granite.
First and the foremost, any cracks or holes in the floors are filled with epoxy or concrete fillers. The fillings need to be allowed to dry completely before starting with the cleaning, sealing and polishing procedures.
By using the wet or dry concrete grinders (depending on the precise job type at hand as well as the intensity of grime) our professionals grind down the floors thoroughly. The dry grinders basically refer to grabbing the dust bunnies/ particles with a vacuum whereas the wet grinders use water for preventing dust from polluting the surroundings. A set of diamond abrasive discs is fitted to the grinder to shine concrete floor.
The grit levels of the discs or the number of sand papers are used in accordance to the intensity of the epoxy or amount of grime on the floor. However, it is started with the coarse grit (80 grit sandpaper/ disc) to level out the irregular floor whilst working the way to the finest grit (1500 grit sandpaper or disc for the highest shine). Proper circular motions are followed (and are overlapped) to ensure impressive shine all over the floor.
Eventually, stain resistant sealer/ polish are applied by using a paint roller or a paint brush to the floor so that it remains resistant to attracting dirt and dust. A resin bonded diamond abrasive grits can also be used to polish the floor.
The shine of the concrete floors is maintained by regular mild-detergent cleaning product. A small amount of mild detergent or dish soap in almost 20 gallons of lukewarm water is used for rinsing the floors.
A few more points suggested by professionals at Xtreme Polishing Systems:
- We suggest not using vinegar or ammonia AT ALL!
- We prefer to use high-speed buffers with white pads for shining concrete.
- We suggest you get your floors sealed every three to four years.
Although doing it yourself is achievable, even when using our floor guides to assist you, Xtreme Polishing Systems still firmly suggests that you take the time to contact our flooring professionals. This will ensure that you will absolutely attain astonishing results!
