In ordinary unpolished concrete, tiny particles of dust are pushed to the surface through an upward force called dusting. Dusting forces epoxies off of the surface of concrete floors, and can make maintenance a costly priority. 

Reflectance increase up to 35%, this is reflected light not just the appearance of light from a lighter colored coating. The end result is fewer light fixtures to purchase or maintain while attain the same amount of lighting. 

Elimination of tire marks from fork trucks, vehicles and industrial type hoppers and parts baskets. In other floor systems, a tire mark is usually there to stay until the floor is repaired. On a polished concrete floor these marks come off easily through the regular maintenance cleaning or sweeping. 

Decrease in floor maintenance and less drag on cleaning equipment making brushes, pads and mops last longer.  Most floor systems, even ordinary concrete floors, require aggressive scrubbing in order to maintain a clean environment and nice appearance. Oil, paint, and other staining spills can leave lasting impressions on most surfaces. A polished concrete floor system doesn’t require this intense scrubbing — the surface is so tightly compacted that it actually repels oils and other substances. This makes cleaning much easier and a maintenance schedule less demanding than with other floors. A polished concrete floor system eliminates the need to wax or strip the floor. 

Higher levels of co-efficient of friction than any coating on the market. Wet or dry, our polished concrete floor surfaces meet, and most often exceed, OSHA standards (ASTM F 609). The National Floor Safety Institute has certified polished concrete meet standards for a “high-traction” floor rating.  A >.60 (wet) static coefficient of friction, high traction skid resistance (NFSI 1010-A), When a concrete floor is polished, it may look like glass, however, its friction co-efficient is higher than ordinary concrete. Simply put, it is much harder to slip on a polished concrete floor, wet or dry. 

Old, deteriorating, weak concrete finishes are revitalized with more abrasion resistance (ASTM C779) and an increase in impact resistance (ASTM C805-97). There are dozens of ways for concrete floors to break as they age: rain damage, surface stress, delamination, improper curing, curled cold joints, joint shoulder failure…the list goes on. The polishing process actually removes the top part of the surface of the old concrete floor (including any patchy, partial, or whole coatings), and hardens the exposed surface beneath delivering a smooth, durable floor.
