Polished Concrete FAQ's

What are polished concrete floors?
Polished concrete floors are existing concrete slabs that are mechanically ground, densified, and polished to create a smooth, durable, and reflective surface. This process strengthens the concrete while producing a modern, low-maintenance finish.
​
How long do polished concrete floors last?
Properly installed polished concrete floors can last 20–30 years or more with minimal maintenance, making them one of the most durable flooring options available.
​
How much does polished concrete cost?
Polished concrete pricing depends on the size and condition of the slab, existing coatings or glue, repairs, aggregate exposure, and the desired finish level.
Commercial projects with clean, open concrete may cost less per square foot than smaller projects requiring extensive preparation or repairs.
