Concrete polishing allows for the restoration of older concrete slabs and the improvement of new concrete floors.

Polished concrete can be colored using concrete stain and concrete dye, allowing for a very decorative appearance instead of just plain gray.

By adding multiple colors to the surface a polished floor can be turned into a unique work of art.
