I have written a number of articles about concrete polishing over the last few weeks. I found out about concrete polishing while surfing the internet and have since then become thoroughly excited about it. I have sang praises about it to people I know and have also invited a number of friends over to come and see the handsome concrete polished floor in my own home. Of course, the articles I have written.
And what's not to like? Concrete polishing has all the combined benefits of a durable material like marble, a cheap material like ceramic tiles, and a sleek, elegant material like hardwood. With all that rolled into one package, it's definitely the best choice that I've made for the house renovation.
There are a few downsides, of course. Not all concrete can be polished efficiently, for one thing. If you have a concrete surface that's too porous, for example, then it's just not set well enough for a proper shine. Also notable are those with lots of cracks, patches and fixes. While you will achieve your polish, it simply can't hide the fixes, and it will look less than perfect.
A solution to this would be adding a considerable layer of concrete on top of the existing one. This would necessitate buying some new concrete, but I don't think that's a serious additional cost. Still, I've been told that you can't always do this. I do not understand the specific reason yet, but I think it has something to do with the new concrete sometimes not settling with the new.
These setbacks, however, are relatively small and should not prevent you from having a polished concrete floor should you decide to opt for it. Concrete polishing is inexpensive, but at the same time, elegant and durable. To learn more, go to the Concrete Polishing website and ask around about polished concrete floors. - 15485
