Why Protecting Polished Concrete During Construction is Crucial
Polished concrete floors offer a sleek, modern aesthetic, impressive durability, and easy maintenance – a compelling choice for various commercial and residential projects. However, during construction, these beautiful floors are vulnerable to a wide range of damage:
- Scratches and Abrasions: Heavy foot traffic, equipment, and dropped tools can easily scratch or gouge the polished surface, marring its appearance.
- Chemical Spills and Stains: Construction involves numerous liquids – paints, stains, solvents, etc. – which can seep into even sealed concrete, creating permanent blemishes.
- Etching: Alkaline substances like mortar or concrete dust can chemically etch a polished surface, leaving dull, uneven patches.
These types of damage not only detract from the visual appeal of your polished concrete floors but can also shorten their lifespan, necessitating premature repairs or re-polishing.
