Burnished Acrylic Concrete Flooring by Spec Floors
Burnished Acrylic is a system that blends the polished concrete system with a grind and seal system. Burnished Acrylic concrete flooring is suitable for homes, showrooms, retail outlets, restaurants, factories and commercial properties.
So what is Burnished Acrylic?
Burnished Acrylic is a system by which the concrete is ground for exposure, grouted to correct minor surface cracks and imperfections, treated to harden the surface and then polished using a series of diamond tools that gradually get finer and finer allowing the concrete surface itself to be polished. A topical acrylic sealer is used in the final step to enhance the floor and help it to maintain its properties over a long period. As with all topical sealers a cure period is required.
The advantages with a burnished acrylic concrete system over other systems are:
- The acrylic sealer is very easily refurbished to bring back floors which dull off due to high traffic
- The burnished acrylic system is food grade making it ideal in restaurant or food areas
- Can be used to provide a higher gloss level on older floors/substandard concrete where true polished concrete is not achievable.
When you add these things to the seamless, dust free, hypoallergenic, easy clean, low maintenance, thermal mass properties and appearance qualities - the burnished acrylic system has a very useful place in the concrete finishing range.
