WHY POLISHED CONCRETE
ECONOMICAL The cost of a polished concrete floor is economical in comparison to other flooring options. At a competitive cost per square foot a plain gray slab can be brought back to a lustrous sheen. Concrete’s flexibility also allows for stains, logos or other graphics to be laid into the surface.
VERSATILITY Polished concrete is very versatile. It can be used for both interior and exterior flooring solutions. It can accentuate other focal points and when dyed and or embedded with a logo or design the floor can really pop. It can be both utilitarian and beautiful at the same time.
LONGEVITY A floor that has been polished and properly maintained can be expected to last up to 20 years or longer. Polished concrete is not susceptible to many of the outside forces that plague other floor types and result in flooring system failures.
SUSTAINABILITY Adding any additional materials to a flooring project result in greater expenditures and environmental impact such as harvesting, manufacturing, and transporting. Finishing a floor by simply polishing the existing concrete material avoids these concerns while substantially decreasing the environmental footprint, which in turn saves natural resources to the pollution associated with shipping and manufacturing.
MAINTENANCE Polished concrete floors are easier to maintain than other flooring options and require no chemicals or waxes to produce their shine.
The above chart shows the summation of our comparative analysis of typical costs for Polished Concrete to other common floor coatings/coverings on an annual basis. Polished Concrete is the lowest incurred cost for installation, maintenance and refurbishing compared to any other flooring option. Given the likelihood of a moisture related failure affecting epoxy or vinyl tile flooring during the 10 year lifespan and the comparison gaps spread even further. Some manufacturers claim their products will last longer than 20 years, but in reality very few facilities utilize a flooring past 20 years before renovations require a change.

High reflectivity of polished concrete requires reduced lighting and less energy usage.
Concrete floors retain heat during cold weather and stay cooler in warmer weather reducing energy consumption.
The re-use of an existing concrete surface reduces materials and energy usage to replace or cover the surface.
Application requires no run-off into waste water or ground water.
Reduces chemical cleaning and chemical usage - neutral cleaner or water are usually sufficient.
Polished concrete floors last longer than floor coverings reducing energy and raw materials needed to replace or cover the surface.
Significantly reduces maintenance and repair work.

The ULTRAFLOR® System
ULTRAFLOR System is a graduated multi-step,
precision process for the polishing of concrete
surfaces. The end result is a unique decorative,
highly reflective concrete floor or surface.
When specifying polished concrete, it is important to understand that polishing a new or existing
concrete slab can expose many imperfections which include cracks, spalls, color and texture
variations. An existing concrete slab may also be aged, out of tolerance, deteriorated and unable to
be used. The system creates a floor that significantly reduces overall life-cycle costs, maintenance
requirements and provides numerous environmental benefits. This one-of-a-kind system incorporates
proper substrate preparation, high performance concrete toppings, concrete treatments, the
mechanical process and finishing treatments that result in the ultimate polished concrete floor. The
ULTRAFLOR® System extends the life of the floor well beyond the typical polishing process.
The SILEX® System
In addition to Diamatic’s dry polishing system,
ULTRAFLOR® we are able to provide greater
accountability with our wet polishing process,
SILEX® SYSTEM which utilizes a scientific approach
that produces fully refined floors to their maximum potential while also creating repeatable and
quantifiable results. By taking this approach we are able to provide a way to describe the exact
means-and-methods to produce the floors the Architects or Owners ask for in the first place while
also providing exact specifications that are consistent and always a cut above industry standards.
When you choose Diamatic® Silex® we are fully committed to innovation, growth, and a complete
system approach. Our goal is to become the most trusted and utilized concrete polishing system
providing the hardest densified, quantifiable and repeatable floors in the industry.
The Diamatic® team has designed and manufactured the VELOX® Ride-On Polishing
Machine to be one of the best on the market. A high-production, high-performance
wet polishing machine for large commercial and retail floors. The VELOX® is an 8-foot,
hydraulic assisted steering, ride-on polishing machine engineered with a true active
planetary drive design. With 10 grinding heads that hold a total of 40 diamond tools
the VELOX® is truly a high-productivity machine. Savings of up to 90% can be expected
with production rates of 10,000 sq. ft. per day minimum. When compared to traditional
mechanical polishing methods the VELOX® quickly becomes the most cost effective
method of polishing. More square footage, same grind and polish process, but less
equipment and less working hours for project completion.
EQUIPMENT - AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE PROCESS
