Specifying polished concrete floors can reduce a project’s material- and energy consumption in both new construction and remodels. As a high-performance, low maintenance floor, it is sustainable throughout its lifecycle. The only gap in its green profile has been the chemistry used to densify concrete in preparation for polishing. New, less caustic colloidal silica-based densifiers solve this problem, as they are safer for workers and less burdensome on the environment. Their use can also help contain costs.
