The nobleness of concrete: restoring old floors

Reviving Your Concrete Floors

“Without the right maintenance though, a polished concrete floor will become a dull, dirty grey.” MegaFloor recommends a weekly clean with a microfibre Mop using Mega Clean specialised cleaning products to maintain the aesthetic quality of polished concrete.

However, when this hasn’t happened, or a concrete floor has seen extensive commercial use in warehousing or high foot traffic areas over decades and hasn’t been maintained, it is one of the first things that can be easily and quickly restored to change the aesthetics of a space.

MegaFloor have been involved in scores of large-scale concrete floor restorations around the country, and have been nominated for an international award for their rejuvenation of the Dunedin Pak’N’Save floor, turning it from an dull, dirty floor into a High Street, Premium Mega Floor diamond polished floor that, as Stu says, anyone would be proud to have in their home.

“It’s an option that’s becoming more readily used for older buildings as people appreciate the inherent beauty of concrete and what can be achieved with a diamond polished Mega Floor.”

Restoring an original concrete floor requires it to be ground and a chemical treatment applied, before it is diamond polished. “Once completed, you won’t be able to tell whether it is a brand new floor or if it has been restored, which is the beauty of it,” Stu says.
