A chosen clear coat film sealer which becomes a sacrificial wear surface is applied as the final step. Topical polished concrete floors with coatings applied are most suitable for marginal or inferior concrete floor surfaces that cannot produce the benefits associated with mechanical diamond polished concrete.

When choosing a polished concrete floor with coatings clear sealer finish, it is important you understand these coatings become the trafficable wear surface and will require additional re-coating at some stage. Overall long term protection and performance cost will vary from product type applied and the environment use. Ultimate Floors offer clients coatings with various levels of life expectancy and finished film coat thickness.
For smaller retail and commercial clients who may have shorter 3 to 5 year lease arrangements, grind and seal or honed than sealed installation offers protected concrete that will be easy to clean along with reducing floor make good cost when vacating the premises.
We recommend the application of quality products with higher film thickness to last the projected time to avoid potential rectification works and suggest this be considered when selecting polished concrete floors with coatings finish. However an applied surface finish does offer a flexible approach when it comes to selecting your clear sealer or clear coating.
Depending on the product type, some are available in both satin and gloss blends.For residential clients opting for a coated surface finish, it is recommended the full honing treatment be conducted. Coatings applied directly to concrete rely on a tenacious bond to stand the test of time and therefore is imperative the concrete slab is free of moisture, is suitably prepared and treated with liquid densifier to dust proof the ground surface.
