I was not too keen on Concrete Polishing at first. Growing up, our High School had polished, concrete floors, and they were shiny but ordinary. While it did look clean and maintained, there were cracks here and there, plus the parts where they were patched were clearly visible. It wasn’t the best it could be.

After recently deciding to renovate the house floor, however, the subject of concrete polishing came up again. I was always adamantly against the fake, wooden tiles, and one day I decided to end my eyes’ suffering by removing them. Below these hideous tiles, my eyes marvelled at an untouched concrete floor.

Polishing the concrete seemed to be the best course of action, but I did not want to end up with flooring similar to what we had back in High School. And as I seemed to know very little about how to actually go about doing it, I went to a Concrete Polishing website and asked around.

After lurking around the forums and asking a few questions, I met a contractor that lived in my general area. I told him about wanting to polish my concrete floor, and about how I didn’t want to have a repeat of what my school had for a floor. He said that it all depends on the quality of the concrete before polishing; too many patch-ups or a wavy finish would require a new layer before polishing. He didn’t think it was necessary for our home’s floor, though, so I got him to help polish it for me.

My High School undoubtedly had pretty high expectations with Concrete Polishing, and I don’t blame them. Done right, polished concrete floor looks sleek and exciting. I’m gong to revisit soon and recommend my new contractor friend to them, and maybe check if any of the teachers I knew are still there.

I hope it works out for the school, in the same way that Concrete Polishing worked well for my house. Concrete Polishing, done right, is unlike any other flooring ever.
