PROJECT OBJECTIVES

  • Clean the concrete before grinding
  • Repair minor damages on the newly poured floor
  • Grind and polish the floor to a high-gloss finish
  • Apply a dust-proofing agent
  • Apply a sealer to protect the surface and ensure resistance to forklift tire marks, chemical spills, etc.

Distribution Facility – 16.000m2

Polished concrete floors are indeed a popular choice for large warehouses and distribution facilities for several reasons, such as durability, low maintenance, low installation costs. 

The client built a new distribution facility and has chosen the Polisanier® concrete floor grinding & polishing solution to ensure durability and compliance with Health & Safety regulations. 

Existing conditions

  • Newly poured concrete floors
  • Floors are smoothed out, levelled and prepared for production

POLISANIER® CONCRETE FLOOR POLISHING TREATMENT

A forklift in a typical warehouse environment may average around 5,000 to 10,000 hours of operation over its lifetime. If a forklift operates at an average speed of 8 kilometers per hour, it could travel approximately 40,000 to 80,000 kilometers over its entire lifespan – all this with an average weight of app. 4000 kg. 

Polished concrete floors are an optimal choice for distribution centers due to their exceptional durability, dust-free properties and low maintenance.

These floors can withstand the heavy loads and high traffic of industrial environments, providing long-term structural integrity.

By applying the POLISANIER® concrete floor polishing treatment, the client receives durable, high-quality flooring essential to maintain a smooth, safe working environment and reduce maintenance costs, ensuring efficient and uninterrupted operations. 

POLISANIER®   BENEFITS

Resistant to traffic

A significant improvement in surface hardness is achieved, enhancing resistance to heavy traffic of forklift trucks, foot-traffic, impacts, and abrasion from such – Also reduces scratchings in the floor surface

No tire-marks​

Resists tire marks from friction, as there is no resin or coating that can burn or wear away – This will result in less markings on the floor and easy removal of the ones present

Long-term savings

The efficiency is exceptional compared to other industrial floors. Maintenance costs will be significantly reduced, tire wear reduced and natural light will be reflected if you choose a medium or high gloss level

Durability

With enhanced abrasion resistance, your concrete floor’s lifespan is significantly prolonged. Investing in a POLISANIER® treatment is minimal compared to the substantial gains in functionality and performance.

Stain-resistant

Densifying the floor screed effectively seals the concrete pores within the floor, reducing the risk of oil and liquid penetration. This process prevents contaminants from seeping in and staining the floor.

Anti-Slip surface​

Polished concrete is certified as non-slip, ensuring greater safety for workers. It offers a smooth and shiny finish while remaining safe and slip-resistant.​
