In our most recent project, we had the privilege of enhancing the aesthetics and functionality of a backyard space in Toronto through our concrete polishing expertise. Backyard spaces can truly shine with the right treatment.
Our skilled team starting with the efficient removal of the existing flooring, a task completed in just a few days. Following this, we meticulously ground, polished, and applied a semi-gloss finish to the concrete, a process that took an additional 3 days. The result was nothing short of astonishing, completely transforming the backyard into a visually appealing and safe area, free from skid hazards.
We completely transformed the space, making it look fantastic and safe, surpassing our client’s expectations. Take a look at the photos below to see the amazing change for yourself. These pictures highlight the fantastic results from our recent Concrete Polishing Project in the lively heart of Toronto!
Cocrete Polishing Maintenance Tips:
- Regular Cleaning: Sweep or dust mop the floor daily or as needed to remove dirt, dust, and debris. This prevents abrasive particles from scratching the surface.
- Damp Mopping: Periodically, use a mop dampened with a neutral pH cleaner and warm water to clean the floor. Avoid using harsh chemicals or acidic cleaners, as they can damage the finish.
- Spill Cleanup: Wipe up spills promptly to prevent staining. Even though polished concrete is resistant to most stains, acidic substances like citrus juices or vinegar can affect the shine if left unattended.
- Protective Mats and Rugs: Place mats or rugs at entrances to capture dirt and moisture from shoes. This helps prevent abrasive particles from being tracked onto the floor.
- Furniture Pads: Attach protective felt or rubber pads to the legs of furniture to prevent scratches and scuffs when moving or rearranging items.
- Regular Re-Polishing: Depending on the level of traffic and wear, consider periodic re-polishing. This process can restore the shine and remove minor surface imperfections.
- Sealant Renewal: If your polished concrete floor has a sealer, periodically check for signs of wear, and reapply as needed to maintain protection and shine.
- Avoiding Heavy Impact: Be cautious when moving heavy objects or using heavy equipment on the floor, as this can cause chipping or cracking.
- Repairing Cracks and Chips: Address any cracks or chips promptly to prevent them from becoming more extensive issues. Consult a professional if necessary for proper repairs.
- Regular Inspections: Periodically inspect the entire floor for any signs of damage or wear, and address issues promptly to prevent further deterioration.
- Resealing: Depending on usage, consider resealing the floor every one to three years to maintain its sheen and protect against stains.
- Professional Maintenance: For larger commercial spaces or high-traffic areas, consider professional maintenance services from experts experienced in concrete polishing.
By following these maintenance tips, you can ensure that your polished concrete floors remain not only visually appealing but also durable and long-lasting. Proper care will help preserve the beauty and functionality of your investment for years to come.
