Polished concrete is the new way to create a beautiful, reflective,
low-maintenance floor. Nearly any concrete slab can be transformed
into polished concrete using diamond abrasives, offering many advantages
over traditional coatings (paint, epoxies), tile or carpet.
California Stone Care is a certified applicator for the Retro
Plate™ system for polished concrete, which hardens and densifies
concrete, yielding up to a 400% increase in abrasion resistance
and improved impact strength. This means that concrete dust (an
environmental hazard) is eliminated and your polished concrete
surface is much more resistant to chipping. Polishing creates
a marble-like sheen which does not dull with age and use. No coatings
or waxes are used, no more peeling, flaking and inevitable replacement
of paint, coatings or carpet.
Advantages of Retro Plate™ and polished concrete:
- Stronger, denser, more durable surface.
- Permanent finish, no re-applications required.
- Concrete continues to breath, no cracking or peeling due to
moisture or vapor movement.
- Low maintenance.
- Highly attractive, unique finish.
- Stain can be applied to add color and variety to finish.
- Odorless, non-flammable, non-toxic, completely “Green” system.
