What is Polyaspartic Flooring?
Most homeowners pay minimal attention and care to their polished concrete floors. Yet, home flooring is the first thing most people focus on when they enter a residence. While relatively easy to keep clean, concrete floors still require proper care and maintenance by professional floor specialists.
Please keep reading to learn how often one should polish concrete floors.
The Timelines
Concrete floors can look immaculate for up to three years after polishing without requiring a refresh. But many factors determine the frequency with which they may require polishing.
The Volume of Foot Traffic
Any surface that experiences high foot traffic is bound to experience more wear and tear compared to low-traffic areas in a property or commercial premises. This may include home areas such as the living room, kid’s playroom, and kitchen. One must polish the concrete floors in these areas more often than in low-traffic areas such as the bedrooms. In a business, the lobby will undoubtedly be the busiest area.
Weathering
Weather elements such as rain and sunlight tend to affect the appearance and texture of concrete floors. Surfaces that come in contact with these elements require frequent professional maintenance to stay shiny and attractive.
Occupant Behavior
Homeowners’ regular cleaning and maintenance of concrete floors can lengthen the period between floor polishes. Homeowners must at least complete basic weekly cleaning, such as sweeping and hoovering, to extend this period. When the floors look tired or lusterless, homeowners should hire professional floor coating experts. They will advise on maintaining the floors and using specialized polishing equipment.
Signs to Note
Here are the signs homeowners should look out for to help determine how often the concrete floor needs a polish.
Floor Chipping and Peeling
Homeowners must quickly contact a concrete flooring expert once they notice signs of chipping and peeling to avoid extensive damage. A professional can restore a home’s concrete floors to a glossy finish.
Water and Dirt Stains
Poor maintenance of concrete floors, like leaving water and dirt spills to dry, may create stains that are difficult to remove. The best way to tackle this issue is to engage a professional concrete polishing company. They have expert knowledge of the best processes and products to help restore your floor surfaces.
Relegate Dull Surfaces to the Past
The best thing to do when your concrete floors need polishing is to contact a specialist. These professionals can help restore the shine on the concrete floors and restore that touch of class to your home.
