Exposed Concrete: Polished Finish with CPD® Construction Products
Exposed concrete floors are suitable for various applications and can be considered for many projects. They are particularly useful for heavy loads or traffic, or when combined with under-floor heating for continuous and efficient space heating. As a finish, they can appear utilitarian or luxurious depending very much upon the chosen materials and installation techniques.
The most prevalent texture or finish for internal exposed concrete floors is polished – either power-trowelled for a smooth solid appearance, or diamond-ground to expose the aggregates. Highly polished concrete floors have become a popular and practical design choice for many commercial warehouses, studios, galleries, office buildings and other high traffic areas.
CPD® Construction Products were recently used in the rehab of an existing space for The Physio Studio in Oshawa, Ontario. Toronto area concrete floor specialists, FenixFinish Polished Concrete, exposed the existing 5,000 sq. ft. concrete floor for the new tenants who required a professional, durable and economical floor option. After exposing the concrete, Cipadeck® LP was used to densify and dustproof the concrete floor, then polished and finished with Cipadeck® Shield; a single component water-based, durable protective coating. The result is a beautiful, dust-free, low maintenance floor with an aesthetically pleasing finish.
