Cost of Polished Concrete Flooring

Polished concrete flooring is a cost-effective option, though cost will vary depending on factors like your design choices as well as the state of your current flooring. That said you can expect to pay anywhere from $3 to $12 per square foot. Sometimes pricing for residential projects can be slightly higher because of the need for smaller equipment suitable for tighter spaces.

Maintenance

The beautiful shine of polished concrete floors does require a bit of upkeep, but fortunately less maintenance than a lot of alternative flooring types. Polished concrete is extremely durable throughout its life. Routine maintenance consists of simply keeping the flooring free from dust and debris which can potentially degrade the surface over time. Dust and damp mopping is all you need to keep your polished concrete floors looking their best for years to come.

Dress It Up

You can also enhance the look of your polished concrete flooring with the use of concrete dyes. This type of flooring dye comes in a broad range of colors, more so than acid stains, and unlike those stains, these dyes are not chemically reactive with concrete materials– which means the results yielded are more predictable in appearance. Polished concrete flooring looks great and functions well in residential and commercial applications.

Applications for Polished Concrete

Polished concrete floors are great for both commercial and residential applications. Some spaces this flooring type works particularly well in include:
  • Automobile showrooms
  • Hotels and restaurants
  • Retail stores
  • Office buildings
  • Large warehouses
  • Warehouse outlet buildings
  • And private residences
