Polished Concrete- Retail Floors

Concrete Polishing has been around for centuries in many countries and unfortunately many people have still have missed out on this opportunity and its undiscovered beauty until now.   Any concrete slab can be polished regardless of age. It does not require any acid agents to prepare the surface. The preparation consist 12 steps of grinding and polishing with diamond and resin grids, depending on the finish you require, whether it is a high or low sheen. Our process of polishing will continue to keep the slurry off your property so that work area remains tidy and clean.

If you're planning a new concrete pour for your Office, Retail outlet, restaurants or warehouse, we recommend you to contact us as soon as possible. Some Concrete contractors do not have the tweaking skills required for polishing the concrete floors. There are many variables to be considered prior to a fresh pour and architects and designers need to be informed. "Don't wait till it's too late" Ask our advice right away. Don't regret your choice as polished concrete cannot be altered once it has been poured.

Concrete Polish is not at all slippery, which makes it number one choice for retail stores, showrooms or warehouses, etc. Our exclusive steps are merged into the process of polishing high moister areas. This has become more slip proof than any other flooring option. An impregnated sealer is used to be highly permeable into the concrete pours leaving a scour finish that acts as an anti slip surface and retaining the inspiring looks.

BGSB recommends a combination of three sealers for concrete polish, this is known as the ‘sandwich'. The first step is a penetrating sealer that seals and closes all the pours, reducing the temperature rising to the surface. A shield coat is then applied to protect mechanical damage and avoid re-sealing. The final coat upholds the three dimensional looks, shine and durability that has the hard wearing resistance and can be reapplied in years without the removal of any sealers.

Benefits of Concrete Polishing

Dust free floors: In unpolished concrete, tiny particles of dust are pushed to the surface through an upward force. This can be termed as concrete dusting. Dusting may force epoxies and other commonly used floor toppings and sealers off of the surface of concrete floors, and can lead to high cost of maintenance.

From porous concrete to a dense surface; that prevents water, oil and other deicing chemicals from penetrating the surface making it ideal choice for retail floors.

More strength and surface resistance for old, deteriorating, weak concrete surfaces, with more abrasion resistance at par with industry standards and an increase in impact resistance as well. There are many reasons for concrete floors to wear as they age: water logging damage, surface pressure, de-lamination, improper curing, curled cold joints, joint shoulder failure to name few. Our signature process of polishing concrete actually grinds the top surface of the old / new concrete floor, including any unlevelled areas with divots or holes, and densifies the exposed surface beneath.  Aged concrete is strengthened, with its impact and abrasion resistance increased.

Increased reflectivity which will help to enhance the beauty of your floor and reduce the cost of electricity bills. We are regularly been reported by our customers that they were able to save a fortune in their monthly bills after opting our signature system of concrete polishing.

Slip resistance floors: Our signature system of dry polished concrete floors meets, and at times, exceeds all international standards for slip resistance. If regularly mopped and cleaned, polished concrete floors will prove to be much less slippery than sealed or waxed floors.

Reduced maintenance cost; because of smooth and polished floor your mops, pads and brushes last much longer and do not require aggressive scrubbing to clean the floors than on ordinary concrete floor. After choosing our signature system of polishing the concrete, surface becomes so dense and compacted that it actually repels oils and contaminating agents. Our process makes cleaning much easier and a maintenance schedule less demanding than with other floors.

No curing time required after application: Due to our natural mechanical process of polishing and the lack of toxic or hazardous topping chemicals, we have helped food retail stores, pharmaceutical stores and other medical supply units meet the strict condition standards that their floors require. The use of our system can be extended to hospitals and other institutions without vacating the premises for our application.

Highly economical; Polished concrete is one of the most economical flooring options as it helps in saving energy, reduced tire wear, cleaning & maintenance cost and its durability of long life makes the polished concrete a budget sensible, as well as beautiful, flooring system.

No floor coatings or wax required; With our signature system of polishing the concrete floor, there is no need of top coating the surface with wax or sealers. All your budgets of waxing and sealing can now be put on to other areas to save huge costs over maintenance.

Elegant looks; Polished concrete floors have great and beautiful appearance and looks like artistic floors when installed by an expert applicator. It is often mistaken for stone, marble or granite due to its smooth and beautiful finish. Its aesthetic value makes polished concrete a viable option for most facilities, whether it is a showroom, office building, or high-end shopping mall.

Most durable flooring option; There is simply no comparison to other floor systems when it comes to the life of a polished concrete floor. Even the most durable epoxy, carpets, PVC sheets, stone or marble floors will require replacement at some time or the other depending on their particular strength and life span unlike    Polished concrete floors which will be there as long as the slab exists, whether that be fifty or one hundred years later. With very minimum maintenance and mopping schedule, polished concrete floors provide savings over short and long term.

Green flooring option;. Polished concrete is 100% green flooring option because it drastically reduces the use of different floor topping, coverings or coatings over a given slab on a project, which on the other hand leads to land-fills upon their eventual replacement. Our signature system of polishing not only upholds aesthetically pleasing design but also aligns with the LEED rating system, as our company being a member of IGBC LEED INDIA has commitment to contribute towards a green environment.
