Process of Pouring Burnished Concrete vs Polished Concrete
It’s easy to get tangled up in the world of shiny concrete surfaces. Burnished concrete versus polished concrete often sparks confusion, thanks to their strikingly similar finishes.
At first glance, the processes may seem identical, but that’s where the similarities fade. Unlike polished concrete, burnishing concrete occurs during the pouring phase. It entails a methodically mechanical trawling process, gradually revealing a smooth, radiant lustre. With mechanical finishes, there’s no room for uneven trowelling; instead, the floor is poured flawlessly, tailored precisely to your specifications.
One of the most notable distinctions lies in the price tag. While polishing concrete can be quite the investment, opting for the burnishing process offers a more budget-friendly alternative. With burnished concrete, you achieve that sought-after sleekness and shine without breaking the bank.
In the realm of concrete finishes, understanding these nuances can make all the difference. So, whether you’re envisioning a polished masterpiece or a burnished beauty, knowing the ins and outs ensures you’ll make the right choice for your space.
Benefits of Burnished Concrete Flooring
Beautifully Bright Finish
The appealing glossy or satin finish on burnished floors instantly brightens any space and gives it a sleek, chic upgrade. Get the same smooth surface that shines beautifully and keeps dust and dirt at bay at a much lower cost. Power trowels may look like a diamond concrete grinder, but they cost a whole lot less.
Improved Sanitation
A burnished concrete finish is easy to clean and is more hygienic than other types of flooring. It does not hold allergens, dust, or dirt and is far more sanitary- perfect for commercial floors. The small pores in a concrete surface trap bacteria and dirt, but they can’t once the concrete sets and they are sealed with the topical coating.
Easy to Maintain in Harsh Conditions
Even in harsh environments where other flooring materials might deteriorate, burnished concrete remains low maintenance. Whether faced with wet winter months, or constant foot traffic dragging in dirt and grime, this finish requires minimal upkeep to retain its aesthetic appeal. Burnished concrete is inherently resistant to heat melt, making it suitable for areas where hot objects may come into contact with the floor surface. This feature adds to its versatility, allowing it to be used in commercial kitchens, workshops, or areas with hot machinery.
Water Resistant
Burnished concrete boast excellent durability and water resistance due to its sealed surface, making it ideal for areas prone to spilt liquids or moisture, such as kitchens, bathrooms, or outdoor spaces like patios or pool decks.
Disadvantages Of Burnished Concrete
As stylish, hygienic, and low maintenance as a burnished or polished concrete floor can be, there are some potential drawbacks to consider when deciding if they are right for you.
Here are the possible burnished concrete problems you may face:
- Concrete polishing and burnishing can make the surface slippery if it gets wet.
- You don’t get much heat retention with burnished and polished concrete – so it can feel cold underfoot.
- It doesn’t absorb or block sound very well.
- A burnished concrete floor is not as customisable as polished concrete.
