Recycle old flooring - by removing old tile or carpeting from an existing concrete floor, and polishing it rather than covering it, you will be working toward a L.E.E.D. certified project. Have you noticed how calming and inspirational it is to surround your senses in a natural setting? Fresh air, natural sun light, toes touching pebbles gently smoothed and polished by the forces of nature, wind, waves and sand? Imagine your home or business evoking these same sensations, clean air, enhanced natural lighting smooth stones, sand and aggregates polished in a way inspired by nature, by abrading the concrete surface with diamonds, natures hardest element, the natural beauty elegance and nature of the concrete floor can be revealed.
If someone is telling you a polished concrete floor doesn't require maintenance, stop and think, does that sound too good to be true? As a polished concrete contractor, let me assure you, there is no such thing as a " no maintenance" floor. Unless, of course, you are willing to accept a floor that looses it shine, its clarity and looks worn and scratches quickly. The following are pictures of incomplete polished concrete, and inexperienced workers. Several pictures show poor edging, not blending in the edges to the same degree as the rest of the floor.

Concrete stains can be acid based, water based, and plant/soy based. Recently, the water and plant /soy based stains have received more popularity because of the Eco-friendly movement. These stains are considered more eco-friendly and sustainable, and can often mimic acid stains looks, while being safer to use and safer for the building occupants. We invite you to view the color palette of our environmentally-friendly "green" soy and water based concrete stains.
Concrete sealers come in two varieties, topical and penetrating. Let Diamond Concrete Polishing evaluate your concrete, whether inside or out. Let us know what you need, just a penetrating sealer to strengthen your concrete, and help protect it from salt-deicer attack, or you want a sealing package that does that plus color. We can come up with options to fit your budget and needs. On newer concrete, it helps reduce Alkali Silica Reaction, which can deteriorate and cause cracking, spalling, pitting.
Why leave concrete gray and discolored when you can add color, personality and character to your floors. Contact Diamond Concrete Polishing today to discuss your business or residence concrete floor projects.
Diamond Concrete Polishing can help with your Historic Restoration project. Whether it's an older Terrazzo floor, marble, or concrete floor, we can help restore its original beauty. In the case of Terrazzo or concrete flooring, not only will it be beautiful, its durability and low maintenance will be enhanced.
The beauty of polished concrete is that it is a low maintenance extremely durable sustainable flooring. A huge benefit to big box stores and schools is the ability to use their cleaning staff during daylight hours. A polished concrete floor can be cleaned during the day using an auto scrubber with just water or a mild neutral cleaner. This cleans, vacuums and drys the floor all in one step saving manpower, which translates into saving time, labor and energy. You do not have to keep a janitorial staff in the building to light heat and/or cool during non-business hours.
