Can My Concrete Be Polished?
Almost any concrete floor can be polished as long as the concrete is structurally sound. Our experts at TTM Finishes Inc. can inspect your floor and let you know if its suitable for polishing. Often dirt, grease, coatings, and blemishes can be removed in the grinding process. Types of floors that are not suitable for polishing include those that are extremely wavy, need extensive patching, or that are extremely porous.
Product Duration Expectancy
The average concretepolished.ca polished concrete floor requires refinishing once every five to ten years, and these are under heavy traffic conditions. For comparison, epoxy coated floors last two to five years and floors coated with an industrial sealer generally go 6 to 12 months before needing refinishing.
Lower Cost of Maintenance
Polished concrete by concretepolished.ca is one way to reduce the costs associated with this maintenance and overhead. Less maintenance consumables are required to maintain the surface since the profile of the concrete surface has been flattened and leveled. An excellent choice for any large floor area.
Environmentally-Friendly

Polished concrete does not contains any Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) which makes it an environmen- tally friendly surface.
Ambient Lighting Benefits
Polished concrete increases ambient light reflection by up to 100%. That means greater visibility, fewer overhead lights, a higher safety factor and a shine that can’t be beat. The level of shine and the reflective properties are up to you.
