Polished / Processed

'Polished Concrete' is the processing of the concrete surface through means of a mechanical process that uses an abrasive medium where each step is refined to its purest possible form on a microscopic level from one progressively finer abrasive to the next until the desired level of 'polish' is achieved.

Cuviello Concrete Polishing and Staining is the mechanical refinement of the concrete surface to its purest form with diamond abrasives. The result is a beautiful, durable and efficient surface which eliminates the need for carpet, tile, sealers, or coatings that requires expensive replacement, maintenance and use of harsh cleaning chemicals. The natural concrete floor can be customized and provides long-lasting beauty and ease of maintenance with environmental benefits.

Warehouse/industrial facilities polish concrete primarily for functionality.

LEED Benefits / Environmentally Friendly

Benefits of the Cuviello Concrete Polishing System are:

• LEEDS Benefits/Environmentally Friendly
Choosing a Polished Concrete Solution helps your facility meet LEED benchmarks to achieve recognition as a high performance green building. Credits toward USGB's "Triple Bottom Line".

• Aesthetically Pleasing
A variety of appearances can be achieved through the polishing process, from honed, semi-polished to a highly polished surface that has a high clarity of reflection and a glass like finish. Additional enhancements range from decorative saw cut patterns to the application of stains in a broad spectrum of colors, all custom tailored to the project at hand.

• Permanent Flooring Solutions
Performance and appearance will retain greater consistency throughout the life of the surface because, unlike other finishes that rely on topical coatings, the concrete polishing process exposes and enhances the strength and durability inherent to the concrete.

• Low Maintenance
Without superficial coatings, concrete polishing leaves you with a product that does not peel, chip or flake over time, making regular maintenance simple while saving time and money.

• Energy Reduction
Polishing concrete to a higher shine increases the efficiency of installed lighting, reducing energy demands.

• Eliminates Dusting and Particulate Debris
The diamond polishing and densification process eliminates the dust associated with unprocessed concrete and particles of chipping paints and epoxies that result from the wear of traditional floor coatings.

• Abrasion Resistant
Densifiers applied during the concrete polishing process increase the durability of the surface. As a result the finished surface resists scratches and abrasions.
