Polished Concrete Floors with DeepSeal Lithium by Know How Concrete Technologies
As the most innovative and economical flooring option available today, naturally finished concrete is leading the market in
warehousing, retail showrooms, industrial floors and government buildings world wide.
Naturally finished concrete floors are quickly becoming one of the fastest growing phenomena to ever hit the industry.
Concrete flooring has long been a product of choice in warehousing and industrial facilities due to its low cost, high
durability, long life, and abrasion resistant nature. Only recently, with the introduction of the dry concrete polishing
systems, has the market shifted to where polished concrete is now being enjoyed by residential, retail, and decorative
markets. The aesthetic beauty and stone like finish gives designers the advantage of achieving professional finishes
economically. Polished concrete is achieved by a mechanical grinding and polishing process that utilizes industrial
diamonds, impregnating hardeners and sealers such as DeepSeal Lithium to increase the density, polish & finally seal the
floor from within the matrix surface of the concrete.
Concrete floors are prone to breaking and cracking as they age, the most common causes of this can be rain damage,
surface stress, delaminating, improper curing, curled cold joints, and joint shoulder failure... the list goes on and on.
In addition to its extensive life cycle and cost efficiency, polished concrete floors offer many
valuable benefits.
Elimination of dusting
In ordinary concrete, tiny particles of dust are created through abrasion of the cement paste. Cement paste while being
an excellent binder of materials is in itself very soft and easily worn by foot or vehicular traffic creating a fine dust. This
dust becomes part of the environment which can become entrapped in the workings of machinery causing damage and
dramatically increasing the cost of maintenance and creating an unhealthy work place.
Ingestion of concrete dust is now recognized as being carcinogenic helping to create the building blocks for lung
disease. DeepSeal Lithium will eliminate this dusting.
Increased surface strength
DeepSeal Lithium can increase the strength of old, deteriorating, weak concrete surfaces and deliver a higher
abrasion and impact resistance.
Transformation of porous concrete into a dense surface
DeepSeal Lithium helps protect concrete by creating a seal that
inhibits water, oil and other contaminants from penetrating
normally porous concrete surface.
Increased ambient lighting
Increased light rebound from the new concrete surface greatly
adds to the ambient lighting, while naturally enhancing the beauty
of your floor in turn reducing the expense of lighting costs.
Decrease in floor maintenance and less drag on cleaning
equipment
Most floor systems, even ordinary concrete floors, require
aggressive scrubbing in order to maintain a clean environment
and nice appearance. Oil, paint, and other staining spills can
leave lasting impressions on most surfaces. A DeepSeal Lithium
concrete surface is so tightly compacted that it helps repels oils
and other substances. This makes cleaning much easier and a
maintenance schedule less demanding than with other floors.
Cost-Effective
DeepSeal Lithium Concrete Systems is one of the most
economical, cost effective flooring alternatives available. The
reduced costs associated with saved energy, reduced tyre wear,
maintenance reduction, and especially the long-lasting durability
shows that DeepSeal Lithium concrete is budget sensible flooring
system.
Naturally Appealing
Concrete floors are second to none in durability and appearance.
Its aesthetic value makes DeepSeal Lithium concrete a viable
option for most facilities, whether it is an industrial manufacturing
plant, government office building, or high-end grocer.
Longest-Lasting Floor Solution Available
There is simply no comparison to other floor systems when it
comes to the life of a DeepSeal Lithium concrete floor. Even the
most durable carpet, vinyl or concrete coating will require
replacement at some time. A DeepSeal Lithium concrete floor
