When installing polished concrete flooring, we do not cut corners. For each job we perform, all the necessary steps are taken to properly prepare your floor to ensure a flawless, long-lasting finish. This includes repairing all surface cracks, levelling uneven floors, grinding floors for the desired exposure, densifying and hardening the surface, polishing, and sealing.

At Westrock Concrete, we are highly skilled at grinding down your floor to obtain the desired degree of shine or smoothness you prefer. We progressively grind and polish your floor before any decorative work is done to remove imperfections and stains. Hardeners and sealers are then used to level, increase the density of, and seal your floor.

Benefits of Polished Concrete Floors



High Durability

Polished concrete flooring is extremely strong and durable, with a lifespan that far surpasses other floor covers. It can withstand heavy foot and equipment traffic and is difficult to damage.



Cost Effective

The long lifespan of polished concrete far surpasses that of other floor coverings. This means money can be saved as there is no need to remove and replace worn or damaged flooring. The cost savings and long life expectancy of this type of flooring make it a popular choice for offices, schools, retail stores, clinics, and restaurants.



Sanitary

Properly polished and sealed concrete floors are non-porous, meaning they prevent liquids and contaminants from getting into the concrete. This is why many health facilities, as well as the hotel and hospital industries, are choosing this type of flooring over others. Done properly, the surface of your floor will resist bacteria and other similar contaminants.



Low Maintenance

A properly installed, sealed and maintained polished concrete floor can last more than a hundred years. Dirt, grime, and other debris are easily wiped off. Damp mopping once a week to remove scuffs and water marks is all that is usually required. Additional maintenance may be required with other types of floor finishes. Polished concrete floors do not require any waxing or stripping to maintain the sheen.



Safety

The coefficient of friction for polished concrete floors is between .49 and .59, depending on the details of the installation. This is the reason why polished concrete floors are incredibly safe and less slippery than typically perceived.



Aesthetics

The choice of colours and texture effects for concrete floors is limitless. We love to bring old, drab concrete surfaces to life.



Brighter Spaces

High gloss finishes help increase ambient lighting. The increased light reflection makes this type of flooring ideal for retail outlets, showrooms, restaurants, and offices where a clean, bright, and professional image is required.



Chemical and Solvent Resistant

Polished concrete floors can be sealed with a chemical-resistant epoxy to protect your floor against harsh chemicals and solvents.



Environmentally Friendly

Polished concrete floors do not contain harmful Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), unlike carpeting, wood laminate, and vinyl flooring materials.

Residential & Commercial Uses

Residential

Some of the most common uses for residential polished concrete surfaces include kitchens, dining areas, verandas, basements, and garages. For Winnipeg homeowners, concrete polished flooring means the elimination of dust, easy maintenance, and environmental friendliness. Other benefits include abrasion resistance, reduced porosity, and the durable marble-like shine.

Commercial / Industrial

For commercial areas, polished concrete is more resistant to high foot traffic and needs little maintenance. The hard polished concrete finish is a very sustainable flooring option since it doesn’t require any adhesives or hazardous cleaners. Polished concrete is frequently used for retail outlets, restaurants, showrooms, warehouses, gyms, offices, hospitals, and clinics. We also install polished concrete in many industrial facilities such as manufacturing plants and distribution centres.
