So finally you have that polished look you have always wanted for your floor. What is next now is to maintain it. Keeping your concrete polished floor looking new isn't so hard. There are very simple steps in maintaining the quality of this type of floor which is needed to guarantee its longevity.
Making sure that a sealer is used over the cracks and gaps of the polished floor is the first step in improving the quality of the floor. The same sealer can be used if after some time cracks are already developing on it. Epoxy is one of the best products to use for this problem.
After the sealing process and the coloring options are done, whats left to do is to simply maintain regularly the cleanliness of the polished concrete. This includes typical application of floor polishes, and standard replacement of surface sealer. Applications vary as well depending on the contribution of the concrete surface and its risk of slipping when wet.
Cleaning your concrete floor regularly ensures that the slip resistance intended for it does not diminish over time, especially when there are contamination problems involved. Basically, it is common sense that slip resistance is high when the floor is clean and dry. Avoiding any contamination should be kept in mind, to avoid letting it spread all over the polished concrete floor area.
Polishing your floor will help in filling on the surfaces' roughness thus providing the grip friction necessary for its slip resistance feature. This however depends on the type of concrete polished style you have on your place. If it has that low surface roughness, lessening the layers of the polish to be applied should be followed. - 16492
