Concrete Polishing Services
Durable Coatings offers concrete polishing & staining for commercial, industrial & residential floors in Ames, West Des Moines and Cedar Rapids. Recent developments in concrete grinding & polishing equipment & design choices have brought polished concrete to the forefront of flooring options. Today with diamond polishing technology plain concrete surfaces can be designed & polished to a mirror like finish. Though it was once found mostly in commercial & industrial settings, since the turn of the century homeowners are also opting for polished concrete flooring as they discover the cost savings, benefits & design possibilities.
Eco friendly polished concrete floors offer numerous benefits making it an ideal choice for most homes or business areas with existing concrete. There is no need to add additional flooring materials. A polishing machine and skilled craftsmen can transform the concrete into a beautiful, low maintenance floor that can last a lifetime. The multi step polishing process involves hardening & densifying the concrete. The result is a practically permanent floor that will never need replacing.
