Benefits of Concrete Polishing
Polished concrete floors have been around for decades but did you know there’s been a significant rise in popularity in recent years? Growth in demand and usage is largely due to the unique characteristics of a mechanically polished concrete floor. With the advancements in technology, a key component in achieving the perfect polished concrete floors is the use of a high-quality concrete grinder. At Reliance Concrete Polishing, we utilize state-of-the-art concrete grinding equipment to ensure precision and efficiency in the polishing process. This enables us to create flawless finishes that showcase the natural beauty and durability of the concrete. Experience the long-lasting benefits of a professionally installed and meticulously polished concrete floor system, which can enhance the aesthetics of your space and provide hassle-free maintenance for over 20 years.
Polished concrete floors are not only popular due to their high-gloss finish, but also their environmentally friendly nature. The push for “greener” spaces has led to greater awareness of flooring options. Common floor coverings, such as carpet and vinyl laminate, release caustic chemicals, requiring chemical based products to keep clean and often need frequent replacement. Let’s look at a few of the benefits of a polished concrete floor.
Durable
Polished concrete flooring is extremely strong and resilient and is able to hold up under very heavy foot, machinery and equipment traffic. Polished concrete is long-lasting and incredibly tough, difficult to damage, chip or scratch. Not to mention, the weight of cars and heavy equipment or the danger of spills are no match for this flooring.
Economical And Sustainable
Concrete floors are perfect for those looking to be more aware of what products are made of. Concrete is made primarily out of natural raw materials, but can also be made with byproducts such as crushed glass, recycled plastic and other forms of waste.
Hypoallergenic
Having a hypoallergenic floor means allergens, dust mites, mold, mildew, bacteria or moisture won’t grow, live or collect on your floors. The smooth surface eliminates the transfer of these pathogens into the environment. Polished concrete is easy to keep clean by periodically using a dry or wet mop. Overall, polished concrete floors are an allergy friendly option for flooring.
LEED Certified
You probably know that polished concrete floors have always been a green alternative, but you may not know that they are LEED certified as well. Here are a few reasons why:
- Sustainable
- Low chemical emissions
- Easy to maintain with green cleaners
- Doesn’t have to be replaced every ten years due to wear or damage

I also very much appreciate the time the team took to just stop and talk with me when I have questions or just to catch up on where things were at. I also appreciated the advice I got for taking care of the floor. What type of machines and or the type of soap to use. Thanks again for all you guys do. May God bless you and your team.David CloydSeptember 1, 2021Brent and his team did an amazing job grinding and then sealing a significant number of concrete walkways in our condo community here on the north shore of Boston. If you have failing concrete I would definitely give Brent a call. Could not be more pleased with all aspects of the work he did for us.Alex MarksJuly 22, 2021Brent and his team did a fantastic job. We had recently removed asbestos tile and mastic from a concrete slab poured in 1947. Brent walked us through how to think about polishing the slab as opposed to other approaches and what we might expect. He helped us through the color sampling process to pick an appropriate hue for our application. He and his team arrived when they said they would and charged what they quoted, even though our floor required some extra passes with the polishing steps. I highly recommend working with Reliance.
