Polished Concrete

Polished Concrete Floors, A Durable, Low-Maintenance Surface

Polished concrete is one of the most cost-effective long-term flooring solutions for both homes and commercial properties. We grind, hone, and polish existing or new concrete slabs to a high-gloss, light-reflective finish that is hard-wearing, easy to clean, and visually striking. Bricks-n-Stones has been polishing concrete in Southern Illinois and the surrounding region for years, and we can match the finish and aggregate exposure to whatever look fits your space.

Low Maintenance, Long-Lasting

Polished concrete is a viable, economical, and long-lasting flooring option. The polished surface gives concrete a natural, stone-like appearance and a depth that grows with each pass of finer-grit diamond polishing. The look can be applied to a fresh slab or restored on an existing floor, adding immediate aesthetic value without the cost of tearing out and replacing the substrate.

Day-to-day care is simple. Because the polishing process closes the surface and seals the pores of the concrete, the finished floor becomes stain resistant. A dust mop and an occasional damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner is all most floors ever need, no waxing, no stripping, no refinishing. Showrooms, warehouses, restaurants, retail spaces, schools, and high-traffic residential areas all hold up well under regular use.

For commercial spaces, the reflectivity of a polished floor also improves ambient lighting, which often reduces the artificial lighting load the building needs to maintain visibility. That translates to a brighter space and lower energy use over the life of the building.

Environmentally Friendly

An added benefit to choosing polished concrete is that it is recognized by the United States Green Building Council and LEED certification as an environmentally friendly flooring option. It utilizes low Volatile Organic Compounds, or VOCs, which means there are no coatings applied like epoxies, urethane’s, or waxes, and you won’t find slurry or hazardous wastes.
