BENEFITS OF POLISHED CONCRETE

Colorado Concrete Repair specializes in industrial and commercial flooring solutions, including polished concrete, so we’d like to take a moment to share with you polished concrete benefits. Polished concrete floors are a green flooring solution that also contributes to the awarding of a LEED designation; they are also durable and increase the ambient lighting in each space. Let’s review the some of the benefits of polished concrete below. SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF POLISHED CONCRETE INCLUDE: Stain-Resistant: The mechanical process of polishing the concrete, including densifying and sealing the surface, tightens the porous concrete floor to repel liquids, including oil, water and other contaminants. This prevents them from contaminating the surface, however it is still a good idea to clean up spills when they happen, especially acidic liquids. Increased Slip-Resistance: The process of mechanically grinding and polishing a concrete floor increases its coefficient of friction when compared to ordinary concrete. The shininess of the polished concrete can be tricky; it does not make the surface more slippery, but instead polished concrete often exceeds OSHA standards for floors. Less Maintenance: Most flooring systems, […]

INDUSTRIAL FLOORING OPTIONS

INDUSTRIAL FLOORING OPTIONS Whether you own or manage a manufacturing warehouse, brewery, food facility, fire station, furniture store, retail store, veterinary facility, or even a pole barn, you want tough floors that will outlast the wear and tear of the daily grind. We’ll explore the various industrial flooring options with you in this article, and hopefully, we’ll leave you with more knowledge to decide which flooring application is best for your situation. THERE ARE MANY FLOORING OPTIONS TO CONSIDER, BUT WHICH ONE IS THE BEST FOR YOUR BUSINESS OR PROJECT NEEDS? LET’S TAKE A LOOK! Epoxy Chip Floor Furniture warehouse polished concrete EPOXY FLOORS Epoxy floors, also known as epoxy coatings, are typically more expensive than overlays, however they are seamless and extremely abrasion resistant. Epoxy coatings are ideal for projects requiring durability, longevity, and chemical resistance. They require minimal maintenance, which makes them popular flooring applications for show rooms, retail facilities, schools and food preparation areas. Our team at Colorado Concrete Repair specialize in epoxy floors, like epoxy chip floors, metallic epoxy floors, flat epoxies, and sand broadcasts. Our epoxy coatings are generally “microtoppings” or skim coats that are flexible and super thin, usually around featheredge […]

FURNITURE WAREHOUSE OPENS 2ND STORE IN PARKER, CO AND OPTS FOR POLISHED CONCRETE

WAREHOUSE POLISHED CONCRETE FLOOR Home Stars opened up its second location in Parker, Colorado, and chose to show off its fine collection of furniture with a polished concrete floor. We were happy to work alongside owner, Mark, and his general contractor, Bryan, to give them the floor that would stunningly show off their beautiful collection! Polished concrete is a perfect choice for show rooms, such as a furniture show room. The main reason our client wanted polished concrete in the show room is to have it look both neutral and trendy. He wanted a floor that would show off his collection, yet still be pleasing to the eye. Polished concrete is all the rage right now for commercial, industrial, and municipal facilities. It is relatively easy to maintain and lasts for years and years. It is designed to last 10 to 20+ years if it is maintained correctly. We even recommend our clients use a company, like Jon-Don, to get on a maintenance schedule to protect their new investment. Mark opted for a traditional 800 grit polish for his show room. […]

COMMERCIAL POLISHED CONCRETE WITH BLACK DYE

MIZU, DENVER HIGHLANDS CONTEMPORARY JAPANESE RESTAURANT, POLISHED CONCRETE FLOOR LOOKS STYLISH AND IS EASY TO MAINTAIN   COMMERCIAL POLISHED CONCRETE FLOORS ARE TAKING OVER…OUR STORY RECENTLY… August 2016 we polished a restaurant floor for a new sushi restaurant opening in the Highlands, Denver, CO. The client chose a polished concrete with black dye to show off the beautiful and upscale style of the restaurant. The floor had mastic, or glue, on the surface that we had to remove before we started polishing. Then, we polished the restaurant floor with a traditional 800 grit polishing system and cast black dye into the concrete. We are proud to say that our client is happy with our work and even wanted us to fix up a concrete wall that he had behind the bar area. We love giving our clients the look they desire. Commercial polished concrete floors are durable, easy to clean, beautiful, and long-lasting.   Polished concrete is a great flooring option for several different purposes: schools, auto shops, warehouses, car show rooms, retail shops, museums, and just about anywhere you can think […]

OFFICE RENOVATIONS AND POLISHED CONCRETE

POLISHED CONCRETE WAS THE IDEAL NEW FLOORING SOLUTION FOR GROENDYKE TRANSPORT IN BRIGHTON, COLORADO. WHY DID THEY CHOOSE POLISHED CONCRETE FOR THEIR FLOORS AS PART OF THEIR OVERALL FACILITY RENOVATIONS? Colorado Concrete Repair was able to give Groendyke Transport an industrial polished concrete floor in their renovated office space next to the truck washing and maintenance stations in Brighton, Colorado. We just wrapped up this project, which involved removing the existing tile and carpet flooring, as well as polishing the concrete. Our crew finished the job by the deadline, so that new office furniture could be moved in and the office team members could work back in their renovated office (and out of the temporary one they had setup). Polished concrete was an optimal option for Groendyke because they wanted to make the space brighter and they did not want to invest in a flooring that would come off over time. When we finished the project, the owner mentioned that the rooms were so much brighter with the polished concrete floor, and it had a clean look to it. He […]
