Educational Concrete Floor Polishing
Educational Concrete Floor Polishing for Schools and Universities
Polished concrete is perfect for high traffic areas like school entryways, hallways and locker rooms in educational facilities. Not only is concrete a relatively inexpensive product to choose, polished concrete can save schools money in the long run as well. Polished concrete is dense and the built-in shine never requires waxes or coatings. That means your ever-shrinking school budget can eliminate the cost of those products and the labor that comes with applying them. In this time of ever-shrinking budgets, that’s more important than ever.
How Educational Concrete Flooring Compares

Improved Durability
Compare concrete to tile, hardwood, and other materials to discover its impressive durability. The hard surface reduces the effects of wear from excessive use. You won’t have to worry about repairing or polishing your floor as often if you choose polished concrete.
Don’t believe companies that claim concrete requires no maintenance at all. While it requires less maintenance than other flooring options, you’ll still need to sweep, mop, and occasionally scrub the surface to keep it clean and looking fresh. The coat will also need to be touched up after some years of use.
Convenient Coloring and Logos
This surface is also easy to stencil. This means you can add your school logo or directional arrows onto the floor for added style or convenience. Help your students feel school pride or direct visitors to important areas of your facility with these features.
Environmentally Friendly Alternative
Concrete floors are a green option for two reasons. First, concrete can be recycled and requires fewer repairs and replacement projects. This reduces the number of materials used over the years to maintain your polished concrete flooring.
Second, concrete can be a great option for energy-efficient heating and cooling. Your flooring choice can have a significant impact on the total costs of your energy bills. Reduce your electricity and gas usage year-round in Wichita with concrete floors.
Polishing vs. Resurfacing
If you already have concrete subflooring, discuss your flooring options with our team at Great American Flooring. You’ll only need a polishing service in most cases, but some concrete floors require resurfacing.
Resurfacing is required when the surface of the floor is compromised. Any major texture issues, large cracks, or pitted areas may require additional concrete to smooth out the surface and restore a safe, durable floor.
However, polishing is best used when your floor is already structurally sound. Our polishing service creates a smooth layer that seals your concrete from the effects of water. In addition to a sealant, the polish can also dye your concrete in a particular color or decorative design.
