Environmentally friendly concrete flooring
Many products that are used to build homes contain a large group of chemicals known as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Polished concrete flooring is a low VOC flooring type. This type of flooring is an exceptionally low contributor to greenhouse gases compared to other flooring types.
Also, when it’s installed correctly and properly maintained, it should never need to be replaced, making it a very sustainable flooring option.
Non-slip concrete flooring
Whilst polished concrete floors are shiny, they are not at all slippery. In fact, compared to ordinary concrete, the friction is increased due to the process of mechanically grinding and flattening the floor. This makes polished concrete flooring a much safer option than some other flooring types.
Stain resistant polished concrete flooring
The sealing process transforms porous concrete into a surface that is extremely dense. Because of this, anything that may be spilled onto a polished concrete floor will not be able to penetrate the surface, thereby preventing stains. Therefore, this flooring type is amazingly easy to maintain, with no aggressive scrubbing required to keep it clean.
Best type of flooring to install with underfloor heating
As concrete is an excellent conductor of heat, polished concrete flooring is the perfect choice to be installed over an underfloor heating system. Even without underfloor heating, a concrete floor is a warmer solution than most other flooring types. This is because it will absorb and hold the heat from the sun.
Polished concrete FAQs
What is polished concrete flooring?
Essentially, polished concrete is a concrete floor that has been stripped back and honed to create a glossy or matte appearance. It’s made from a basic combination of cement, gravel, sand and water. Not only is this type of flooring sleek and seamless, it’s also a highly economical option. Additionally, thanks to its smooth yet durable surface, it’s guaranteed to last for a very long time.
How does the HTC SUPERFLOORTM process work?
The process of creating polished concrete is very simple. First, we mechanically refine the concrete surface by removing the top layer. This reveals the stronger layers that lie underneath. We then grind and polish the surface in small steps, until the desired characteristics have been achieved.
There’s no need for any sludge or water. This innovative grinding process is completely dry and hassle-free and the results are highly impressive – creating a floor that is smooth, glossy and hard-wearing.
How much does polished concrete cost?
The cost of a polished concrete floor is determined by several factors. For example, it will depend on whether you wish to use new or existing concrete, the type of finish you would like and the size of the space. But rest assured, here at Quest, our polished concrete costs are very competitive. Customer satisfaction is very important to us and we always strive to offer the best possible price.
