Concrete polishing is the most significant flooring finish alternative followed in the last couple of decades. It is a process by which the surface of the concrete is ground and polished using a penetrating hardener to yield a surface that exhibits reflectivity and increased abrasion resistance. It makes the surface shine like crazy, which is also long-lasting and sort of permanent. All one has to do is wash it with water to maintain it.
Instead of coating the surface with organic solids, densifiers (Sodium/Potassium/Lithium Silicates) react with the concrete itself. This reaction fills in the natural pores and voids in the concrete and provides a dense, hard surface that is easy to clean. The concrete is densified internally and inorganically. There is nothing to wear off the surface, nor is there anything to replace. The same reaction also makes the surface much harder and resistant to abrasion. In addition, the floor surface is rendered free of dust.
