Polished Concrete has only been around for about 10yrs or so. Its is also referred to as Architectural Concrete. Polished Concrete is evolving every day with new products and different processes. The coloring started with the old Acid Stains and now has made it way to water based Stains.

When we are done Polishing the concrete there are no thick sealers applied only a Guard that is a consistency of Windex. This helps protect against spills and chemicals. This give you time to clean up any spills. These Concrete Guards are not designed for long term spills or puddling.

Polished Concrete is not slick believe it or not. All polished concrete exceeds OSHA and ADA standards. Concrete with sealers tend to be more slick than polished concrete.

The shine is developed through a series of diamond grits: 6grit to 3500grit. The shine is your concrete not a topical sealer that is prone to scratch. Topical sealers are designed for exterior use. Reflective Crete doesn’t recommend any topical sealers on any interior concrete floors.

Polished Concrete reduces tire marks. It also prolongs tire wear.
