So Why Does Concrete Polishing Help With Lighting?
Concrete Polishing will provide better light reflectivity, thereby controlling your overall monthly energy usage
Thanks to the gloss, sheen, and light colour of Polished Concrete Floor finishes. These factors can amplify incoming natural light during the day while reducing the need for artificial lighting in the evenings
As there is often less need for heating and cooling systems in your home, Polished Concrete Floors can save you on your energy bill as well!
So Are Polished Concrete Floors Slippery?
Even when wet, Polished Concrete Floors offer significantly higher slip resistance than tile or wood floors.
When installed properly, Polished Concrete Floors reduces slip and fall liabilities and insurance costs for business owners!
Because of their high coefficient of friction, Polished Concrete Floors are 20% to 50% more slip-resistant than the national standard for low-slip floors!
So Are Polished Concrete Floors Cool In Summer?
Yes, because unlike tiles or timber, which have a very small thermal mass, a concrete slab possesses a high thermal mass and its insulation is therefore excellent.
Because concrete absorbs temperatures and releases them slowly if you’ve had the blinds drawn to shade the floor in summer or the air conditioner on, your floors will add coolness to your home.
Conversely, in winter, if you’ve had the sun on the floor or have had a fireplace going or a heater on, your polished concrete floor will retain that warmth and keep you snug throughout the evening and night.
So Are Polished Concrete Floors Good For Asthma Sufferers?
Polished Concrete Floors emit no mould or mildew, are allergy-free, and harbor no dust mites, making them ideal for people with asthma or allergies.
It is a perfect option for any sufferers of asthma and/or allergies, including anyone who is allergic to cats, dogs, pollen, and/or dust mites!
With Polished Concrete Floors, there is simply no place to hold onto these substances. Particularly for those whose asthma is triggered by common allergens like dust and mould!
So Can A Floor Be Polished If My Concrete Slab Has Chips, Holes, or Cracks?
Holes and chips can be filled in with epoxy, polyurethane, or cement depending on the size of the hole or chips.
Our patches can be colour matched to the finish floor so that it is not an eye sore or trip hazard.
From Cracks width and depth to type and cause, the various factor combinations can help determine the best course of action for repair. Understanding the cause of the Cracks is critical to prevent the concrete from cracking again!

So Can I Steam Mop My Polished Concrete Floors?
NO, A steam mop should never be used on a Polished Concrete Floor!
Nor should you use harsh chemicals such as bleach, citrus products, or oils!
A microfibre mop is all that is required in conjunction with water or a neutral ph cleaner such as GTA Tough Green.
So Can I Use A Grind And Seal In My Gym? It Seems Cheaper.
A Grind and Seal can be used inside a gym, but we wouldn’t recommend a standard Grind and Seal due to the fact that the topical coating runs the risk of getting scratched.
In a gym setting, where high foot traffic and heavy equipment can scratch the floor, we’d recommend our Polished Concrete Floor finish instead.
A Grind and Seal is not a good choice because, in addition to the fact that gym equipment is heavy, it also tends to have sharp edges under the equipment that can mark a floor!
