Good vs bad concrete for epoxy

This a good video that anyone can do for testing good and bad (pourus
dusting concrete surfaces).

The beginning of the video shows GOOD concrete and the water stays or sits
on the concrete surface, this is a good floor to be polished.

The second or last part of the video shows water being poured onto the
concrete surface BUT almost immediately the concrete starts to soak up all
the poured water this is what we call a pourus dusting floor and if
polishing this type of concrete floor surface extra work will be required
during the initial grinding stages.

This type of pourus concrete floor surface will produce what we call
"dusting" it creates a dust especially in Factory, Industrial or Commercial
environments where heavy foot traffic and machinery is used.
Floors that have a "dusting" problem can cause problems with electrical or
computers and is bad for anyone who has health problems.
When we denisifying (hardening) this type of floor much more of the densifer
would be used than a good floor surface and we may have to repeat the
densifying several times to lock-up (seal) the floor service.

Floors with a dusting problem will powder under traffic of any kind and they
can be scratched with your finger nail and when sweeping the floors will
emit a lot of dust and dust particles in the air that you breathe.

For severe/bad concrete floor surfaces we wet grind the surface and then
apply a chemical concrete floor hardener sodium silicate (densifier), the
hardener may have to be applied several times until the floor stops soaking
up the densifier.

If you are thinking of covering a bad concrete "Dusting" surface that emits
dusting with carpet or a vinyl tile coverings you need to be aware that
without some prior proper preparation to the concrete surface first; as you
will need to place adhesives for floor coverings and the adhesives will not
bond to floors with a dusting problem, dusting will permeate through carpet
if the floors have not been properly prepared first.

We hope that this information has been of interest to you.
If you have a floor that has or you think that you have a concrete floor
with this problem; please contact us.

Acid Stain A Concrete Floor The polish Polishing Concrete

This a larger project for acid staining floors and it show how to do it and
each step along the way.
There are many different acid stain products and colours available.

There are even water based staining penetration products eco friendly
products and uv stable that do the same look as acid stain but without acid
stain problems.

We hope that this video gives you a better understanding on how you (if you
wish) to produce a floor with a difference OR;
If you are thinking of having an acid stain for your floors contact

Fix Repair Concrete Cracks and Damage

With this crack repair video, we use a similar procedure when we find cracks
whilst grinding new or old concrete floors during the grinding and polishing
stages.
Once we find a crack and in most cases these cracks are only what we call
hairline cracks that actually get filled in completely during our normal 18
step processes throughout polishing your floors.
Sometimes however hidden underneath the top cream of the cement or even
after tiles or carpet have been removed, we do find larger cracks and holes
that cannot be filled in during the grinding or polishing stages.
In this event we use simular techniques and products as outlined in this
video.
We feel that this video best describes what we do and how we do fill in
cracks.
We hope that this information has been a help to you.

How To Grind and Polish Concrete Floors Flooring

Polished Concrete Transformations uses a very similar proccess to this.

The process used to polish a concrete floor.
