Whether or not your existing concrete flooring can be repaired correctly will depend on a number of factors. First, the actual extent of the damage must be assessed. If the entire floor has erupted with dents or low spots, the damage might be secondary to a much larger problem and the cause should be determined immediately. Any damage that shows up overnight should also be investigated. You should never go to sleep one night and wake to find a seven inch gash in the middle of your floor, as this would indicate a serious problem with the foundation.

If the damage is gradual and fairly contained, then repairing the concrete floor should only be a matter of deciding the method that you want to use. If the damage is only in the form of unsightly staining, you can mend the damage by using a skim coat or simply by restaining the floor to hide the blemish. You could also sand the surface to below the level of the stain and then refinish. If the damage is more serious, for instance in the case of spalled concrete, you would have other options to consider, such as using a polymer overcoating; however, if the damage is really bad, you should consider using a new slab on top of the existing one. This is the most expensive and difficult of the options, so it should only be considered as a last resort, especially in a residential setting. Once you bring in a new slab to fit on top of the old one, you will also have to reseat all existing doors and cabinetry as well.

Maintenance will not prevent all forms of damage to your concrete floor; however, much of the staining damage can be prevented by making sure that the sealant is in good condition and reapplied at the directed interval. Make sure that you are not cleaning with harsh abrasives or chemicals so that the floor is not weakened in any way.

Flooring for Lowe's by Perfect Polish

When choosing a floor system for an industrial facility, such as a government building, warehouse, large retail space or educational institution, you have to consider the benefits each flooring option has to offer. Think about durability and longevity, as well as appearance. Which material will last the longest? Which flooring system is the easiest to maintain?

Concrete is the answer.

A polished concrete floor is a green building choice, which happens to be one of the most important benefits associated with concrete flooring. Not only does the floor reduce the need for endangered hardwoods, but also eliminates the need to import stone from foreign countries; and concrete does not use or release harmful chemicals or toxins. Accepted for LEED certification, polished concrete flooring is a great choice not only because of the eco-responsible aspects, but because of its versatility. Polished concrete floors are able to take on the look of virtually any other material, making them a lower cost option than others, giving concrete an economical advantage. You could have the look of marble, for instance, without having to pay the cost of importing a slab and cutting it to fit.

Polished concrete flooring’s biggest benefit to industrial facility owners might be its ease of use. There is little maintenance needed for this flooring choice, which is perfect for large areas. A damp mopping is needed only once a week or so. A sealer should be applied every year to keep stains and other damages at bay.

If the polish has worn off of your concrete flooring or it has other signs of wear and tear, like pitting, dents or even spalled sections, it is time to consider either replacing the whole floor and starting over or redoing the flooring that is already in place.  If you do decide to restore your concrete flooring, you can choose to restore it to its original condition, or you can opt to make it look new with a different color, finish or design for far less time and expense than it would cost to lay a new floor.

The Natural Wonder flooring system by Perfect Polish can be put into place and used immediately. Even in commercial applications there is no need to shut down and clear out, as the floor can be put into place while people are still present. The cleaning process, which does not use any toxic or hazardous chemicals, can even be applied  in food manufacturing facilities or hospitals that are fully occupied. These floors meet OSHA standards for health and safety in the workplace.
