Concrete floors can have tough and resilient features, but they are not invincible. They cannot battle against the sneaky cracks across the floor or various liquid stains for a long period of time. Over a period of time, these floors can start showing wear and tear signs. But fear not; you can bring them back to their former condition and fix them up. So, let’s dig into some of the techniques through which we can turn our worn-out concrete floors into a brand new one.
Before we dive into the techniques, let’s first assess the floors. This is like a check-up of your flooring to determine what issues you’re dealing with. So make sure you look around every nook and corner of your floor. There might be minor cracks, chips, stains, or imperfections. This inspection plays an important role in deciding what measures you will take to prevent those imperfections.
Now, let’s find out what techniques can be used to restore your concrete floors.
- Preparing The Surface:
The initial step towards restoring your concrete flooring is the surface prep. It is the foundation of the restoration process, in which the floor undergoes a deep cleaning, removing all the dirt, grease, and other chips that have been clinging to it for a long time. So why is it important? This is an important step as it can mess with the further restoration steps and bond with the materials used for the restoration.
- Grinding & Polishing
This process involves removing surface imperfections with the help of finer abrasives. This is done to reveal the hidden beauty underlying the dirt, dust, and other impurities. It’s just like giving your floor a spa treatment, which results in a smooth and glossy finish.
- Overlaying
This procedure is the game-changer in the world of concrete floor restoration, as it gives severely damaged areas a completely brand-new look. Instead of starting from scratch and tearing out the whole old concrete flooring, you can add a layer of cementitious material to cover up all the flaws and give it a beautiful look by adding decorative features like stamping, stenciling, or even textures.
- Sealing & Protection
The last step in the restoration process is giving your floors a finishing touch with a layer of coating that can fight against elements like stains, moisture, and abrasion. You can choose from various types of coating, such as acrylic coating for a glossy finish and epoxy coating to make it more durable.
