Frequently Asked Questions about Polished Concrete Floors
Polished concrete installation is a multi-step process that includes grinding the concrete slab flat, adding a penetrating liquid that reduces the porosity of the concrete, and then polishing the surface to the desired level of reflectivity.
Because polished concrete floors utilize the structural slab of a building, they’re extremely durable. Properly installed polished concrete floors are extremely abrasion and stain resistant, and should last decades with little to no maintenance.
Most polished concrete floors cost between $2.50 and $9 a square foot. For extremely small or large jobs, pricing may be outside of this range.
Polished concrete floors require little maintenance. They should be dust-mopped and cleaned regularly with a pH-neutral cleaner. However, for commercial floors that receive extremely high traffic, periodic repolishing may be required.
Polished concrete floors are considered a non-slip installation. Excessive water on polished floors can make them slippery. For high-traffic use-cases, walk-off mats can be incorporated into the polished concrete floors at doorways to reduce water intrusion onto the floor.
Concrete tends to crack over time due to settling and thermal fluctuations. However, cracking can be limited by installing control joints at the interval specified by a structural engineer.
Yes, polished concrete floors are considered eco-friendly because they utilize the existing concrete slab to create a finished floor. Reduced maintenance waste and reduced lighting requirements due to reflectivity also contribute to polished concrete’s environmental benefits. LEED credits are offered for installing polished concrete floors.
Absolutely. At Craftsman Concrete, we’ve installed thousands of residential polished concrete floors and guide you through every step, from pouring the slab to installing millwork. Polished concrete offers a sleek, modern look that’s both durable and low-maintenance for residential spaces.
Low-gloss polished concrete floors offer a durable, attractive finish for outdoor spaces like patios. They’re comfortable underfoot, easy to clean, and stain-resistant.
Yes, any concrete can be polished, but the final appearance depends heavily on the quality of the slab.
Yes, polished concrete has a similar temperature to tile. However, its thermal mass allows it to retain heat well, making it ideal for in-floor heating systems.
