Polished concrete floors work incredibly well for a number of commercial spaces. They offer a rare combination of safety and cost-savings factors. Commercial concrete floors also offer a range of finishes that suit requirements of agencies like OSHA and the FDA.
Durability
Commercial floors need to stand up to daily spills of drinks, oils, salts, food, you name it. They also need to withstand heavy foot traffic and even heavy loads without showing wear. Beyond this, grit gets tracked in daily and ground underfoot. Polished concrete floors withstand all of this, as well as the harsh cleaning products used to keep the floor fresh and sanitary.
Safety
Commercial concrete floors need to be slip-resistant. Employees walk across your floor constantly. Customers won’t always have good balance and may use a range of walking aids. You need these customers to be safe, and that means a floor with grip. Slip-resistance is easy to achieve in commercial concrete floors – they help to keep everyone safer, reduce workplace injuries, and decrease the risk of slip-and-fall accidents.
Cleanliness
A sanitary environment is a must. Polished concrete floors are sealed. That means they’re non-porous. Spills won’t soak in and stay. Mold, mildew, and bacteria will never find an anchor in these floors. They’re easy to clean and resist harsh chemicals, meaning you can use the best cleaning products on them.
Maintenance
Maintenance and cleaning is exceptionally easy. Easy means you can achieve the desire result much faster. Faster means you save money. The less work employees have to do to keep your space’s environment clean, the more they can focus on customer service and the quicker they can open and close for the day.
Thermal Shock
In spaces such as restaurants, you’ll be using appliances that maintain a high level of heat. Commercial concrete floors have a higher thermal shock resistance than any other flooring option. That means they’ll easily withstand exposure to heat without suffering any damage.
