Polished concrete is fast becoming the ultimate no-wax flooring material. A polished concrete floor has a glossy, mirror-like finish. There are many design options for polished concrete. You can choose nearly any color, create patterns with saw cuts, or embed aggregates or interesting objects into the concrete prior to polishing. The reflectivity of the floor can also be controlled by using different levels of concrete polishing. Polished concrete is popular in commercial buildings because it is easy to maintain. Maintaining polished floors requires dust mopping and occasional use of a cleaning product.
