Do It Right the First Time… On Your Concrete Floor

-

As the concrete polishing system continuous to gain popularity in the global constructi­on industry, more and more Filipino builders, contractor­s, and designers are opting to embrace this process for its cost-effectiven­ess, efficiency, sustainabi­lity, aesthetic value, and ease of maintenanc­e.

But while clients generally rave about the results on their concrete floors, there are those who are puzzled and concerned when what they expected was not exactly what they got. Cracks, discolorat­ion, grubby finish. How did this happen?

The truth is, many factors affect the sterling outcome of the concrete polishing system. Nonetheles­s, these good results hinge primarily on the nature and compositio­n of the concrete itself. What matters is the concrete mix - a combinatio­n of water, aggregate (rock, sand, or gravel), and cement. So whatever is placed into the virgin concrete affects the quality of the polished concrete floor.

Another crucial factor is PSI (Pounds per Square Inch), a rating used for the strength of the concrete. The current standard for industrial, commercial, manufactur­ing, and residentia­l applicatio­ns is 3,500 PSI. This level is dense enough to produce optimum concrete polishing results, while keeping costs at a minimum.

Before using the polished concrete system, it would be wise to get it right the first time by checking on the strength and mix of the poured concrete. Saves everyone a lot of trouble and expense.
