Can you polish damaged concrete? – Yes! We assess the condition and can often restore older slabs with patching, grinding, and polishing techniques.
How long does the polishing process take? – Project timelines vary based on square footage, condition of the concrete, and desired finish. Most residential jobs take 2-4 days.
Is polished concrete slippery? – Despite its glossy appearance, polished concrete offers a good traction. We can also apply anti-slip treatments if needed.
What is concrete Polishing? – This process involves mechanically grinding the concrete surface to achieve the desired level of aggregate exposure, followed by progressively honing to attain a refined sheen. A densifier is then applied to chemically harden the surface, enhancing durability and minimizing dusting over time.
How long does an epoxy floor last? – When properly installed and maintained, a high quality epoxy flake floor can last 10 to 20 years or more, depending on traffic levels, usage, and maintenance.
What is an epoxy flake flooring system? – An epoxy flake flooring system is a durable concrete coating that combines epoxy resin with decorative vinyl flakes. The flakes create a textured, slip-resistant finish while adding color and visual appeal.
Where can epoxy flake flooring be installed? – They are commonly installed in garages, basements, workshops, commercial spaces, warehouses, showrooms, patios, and other concrete surfaces.
Is an epoxy floor slippery? – The decorative flakes and optional textured topcoat help improve traction. While any floor can become slippery when wet, epoxy flake systems provide better slip resistance than smooth concrete.

How do I clean and maintain an epoxy flake floor? – Maintenance is simple. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with a mild cleaner are usually all that’s needed to keep the floor looking great.
