Our High School's concrete floor was always polished and shiny, as I recall. It did not, however, look special at all, for there were also cracks here and there that indicated a lot of imperfections. No one really took notice, and that's why Concrete Polishing wasn't originally what I had in mind for our home. I did not want the centerpiece of the house to remind me of High School's mundane floor.
But now, roughly a decade later, I seriously considered concrete polishing for our home. Until recently, the house had distasteful, artificial wooden tiles. I never liked them, and they were mostly broken anyway, so I decided to remove all the tiles. Lo and behold, save for the adhesive used to attach the tiles in the first place, the concrete below was undamaged (in my eyes, at least).
I definitely wanted to polish the concrete floor below. I remembered that the janitors back in High School didn't need to do a lot to maintain its shine, so it seemed ideal. However, I also did not want to end up with the cracked and patched mess that the school bulding had, so I poked around a Concrete Polishing website to ask for help.
The people in the forums were very friendly, and I found a contractor in my area soon enough. After talking for a bit, he decided to inspect the concrete floor in my home. My concerns, apparently, had something to do with the quality of the concrete before polishing. If the concrete needed a lot of patchwork, or if the finish was wavy, then he'd have to add a new layer before polishing. Luckily, and his trained eye detected little imperfections. Nothing he couldn't fix at any rate.
My High School undoubtedly had pretty high expectations with Concrete Polishing, and I don't blame them. Done right, polished concrete floor looks sleek and exciting. I'm gong to revisit soon and recommend my new contractor friend to them, and maybe check if any of the teachers I knew are still there.
Back at my house, I get the luxury of admiring Concrete Polishing done right. I am so glad I looked up the site where I found the contractor. - 14915
