Polished concrete is one of the most durable and quality floors in the industrial environment, especially in those companies where the storage of goods, the use of machinery and intense traffic.
Polished concrete is a durable and cost-effective flooring system for installation. Thats why floor polishing is one of the most demanded procedures by the different companies, without any distinction in their sector or market area.
But, as in everything, concrete is not a material that is infallible or exempt from damage or loss of reliability.
This is why some technologies, methodologies and even companies, such as BECOSAN, are tremendously viable in recent times, where the need for safe soils, which maximize productivity and under no circumstances increase maintenance costs or health risks, are more than evident.
What is BECOSAN’s concrete floor technology?
On one hand, BECOSAN is the name of the company in charge of floor treatment, but it is also the name of the technology and methods they use for installation and concrete floor treatment.
Right now, reference is made to the technology used to create concrete floors that withstand, like no other, the passage of time and any use you give it, however intense it may be.
BECOSAN Densifier
At BECOSAN they know very well that one of the factors that negatively affect the performance and durability of polished concrete floors is the porosity, cracks and low compaction of some installations, which makes this surface a dusty place.
BECOSAN Densifier is a technology that consists of a hardener that is applied inside the core of the concrete floor, and through a high molecular reaction technology, compacts all the molecules of the concrete.
Thus, BECOSAN Densifier:
It protects the soil against any kind of liquid filtration.
Prevents the soil from cracking or losing its softness and anti-slip properties, even when used intensively.
BECOSAN Protective Sealer
The second part of the company’s technology is BECOSAN Protective Sealer, which is a sealer that is applied to the surface of the concrete, once installed, and which allows the BECOSAN polished concrete floor to be fireproof, non-slip, to absorb absolutely no liquids, to lose no shine and to crack, with a guaranteed durability of more than 10 years.
Polished concrete floors as the ultimate solution for warehouses
Polished concrete is a beautiful, shiny surface that brings quality to the rooms. In a company headquarters it can be a differentiating and quality aspect. But not only on an aesthetic level is the use of polished concrete advantageous, as it brings another series of outstanding advantages:
- Safety: one of the reasons why your company should opt for concrete floor treatment is safety. It is a non-slip surface that when done by professionals avoids filtration, porosity and cracks, so that for years you will have a floor that you can walk on, move machinery and even subject it to intense use, without the risk of accidents.
- Fireproof and waterproof: when polished concrete is properly hardened – something made possible by BECOSAN Densifier, for example – it becomes a fireproof surface, i.e. it prevents the spread of fire. At the same time it is also almost impermeable, so that no liquid can penetrate the concrete core, which is why it is a safe surface with a very high durability.
- Durability: in the particular case of BECOSAN, the company offers a guarantee in Mexico of up to 10 years, although the durability of polished concrete floors, both in new installation and in repair or treatment of floors already installed can reach 3 decades, always with proper maintenance, although minimal.
- Energy saving: polished concrete in glossy finish has a great capacity of light reflection, so it is interesting to use it in industrial buildings where lighting is vital for the development of activities. Thanks to this characteristic, the need for artificial light is reduced by 25% compared to other materials. In addition, thanks to its lack of filtering possibilities, air conditioning can save up to 15% in energy consumption.
- Low maintenance: polished concrete is a material that requires very little maintenance work. When it does require it, it is because it is cracking and dust begins to appear. BECOSAN polished concrete floors for industrial and business premises require very low maintenance, sometimes summarised in basic hygiene tasks, saving time and money in the process.
The importance of a good choice industrial flooring in a company should never be underestimated.
Especially when the costs associated with its maintenance and repair can have a direct impact on the operation or financial stability of the same.
BECOSAN’s polished concrete is, nowadays, one of the best alternatives.
