Frequently Asked Questions
- A: No, the floor is not stain proof. It is more stain resistant than a regular concrete floor because the pores in the floor are closed up so tight that it keeps liquids on the surface longer looking for a way to penetrate, allowing for a longer time to respond in getting spills cleaned up. However if a liquid is left long enough on the surface stains may result. We recommend sealing your surface with Deepshield™ impregnating sealer which seals the micro pores of your polished concrete and will last for up to 10 years.

Other FAQs :
- Q: How slippery is polished concrete?
- A: Many suspect a highly polished concrete floor would become more slippery-and thus more of a problem. Contrary to common perception, the degree of polish or shine is not directly related to slip resistance. Just because polished concrete is shiny doesn't mean it is slippery. If the right processes are applied both internally and/or externally, testing has shown that polished concrete will meet or exceed Australia/New Zealand standards for slip resistance. (Please bear in mind any floor finish can become slippery when wet.)
- Q: Is it possible to apply penetrating concrete sealers over existing topical sealers?
- A: No, it is not possible to apply penetrating concrete sealers over existing topical sealers. Topical sealers create a membrane or film on the surface of the concrete, forming a barrier that prevents the penetrating sealers from effectively absorbing into the concrete. Therefore, before applying a penetrating sealer, it is necessary to remove any existing topical sealer to ensure proper penetration and adhesion of the new sealer. This preparation step ensures that the penetrating sealer can effectively provide the desired protection and enhance the durability of the concrete surface.
- Q: Is polishing concrete messy?
- A: Mechanical, dry-grind concrete polishing is a fairly clean process, grinding will create a slurry, and can get a bit messy, but with the dry-grind process, a vacuum system is used in conjunction with the grinder to contain 98% of the airborne particles. The remainder of the dust is then easily swept up and removed in plastic bags.
- Q: Can you polish existing concrete?
- A: In most cases yes we can. The concrete would have to be in very poor condition not to be able to achieve a polished concrete finish.
- Q: How do I measure the size of the concrete area?
- A: We recommend that you measure each concrete area separately. The simplest way to measure is by multiplying the width by the length. For example a room that is 3 meters long and 2 meters wide is 3 X 2 = 6m2 in total.
