Polished Concrete: Modern Artisan Flooring

It wasn’t that long ago that you never heard anyone say, “Ooooh, I love concrete floors!” These days, of course, that phrase is becoming more and more common - and with good reason.

In days past, concrete was the flooring material of choice only for utilitarian usage, where budget and durability were the primary considerations. Concrete was resigned to areas without a premium on aesthetics, like basements, garages, and factories.

Today, concrete has become a fine medium for modern flooring artisans! Whether your floors are old or soon to be poured, industrial, commercial or architectural, polished concrete is a beautiful, yet economical option that can be tailored to meet your unique specifications. It’s always an adventure to discover the beautiful patterns and materials that emerge when diamond grinding and polishing an existing slab of concrete. Our highly trained and experienced craftsmen know exactly how to create a stunning finishes, from a sophisticated matte to a highly reflective marble-like surface.

Once the concrete is sealed and polished, the finish will last for decades. Polishing also increases strength & abrasion resistance, water resistance, eliminates concrete dust, and dramatically lessens flooring maintenance needs. 

What could be better? Did we mention that polished concrete is LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) certified? Unique-Crete uses safe, naturally occurring materials to enhance the strength of the concrete.
