VIA University College 

Via University College, a renowned institution offering diverse education programs, recently completed a new campus to accommodate its growing student body.

For the ground floor, they opted for polished concrete floors—a durable, stylish choice suited to high-traffic areas. 

POLISANIER® was tasked to bring this vision to life with our expertise in concrete polishing

Polished concrete floors offer significant abrasion resistance, and can endure up to 10-20 times the wear of traditional flooring options. This capability of withstanding high foot traffic makes them ideal for environments like airports, shopping centers, and hospitals.

Being a natural material, polished concrete is eco-friendly and promotes a healthier indoor climate. Its smooth, reflective surface offers reflectivity increase by up to 30%, enhancing natural light,  hence reducing the need for excessive artificial lighting.

Existing conditions

  • Newly installed concrete floors
  • Areas with ‘tiger-lines’ * embedded in concrete
  • Areas with cracks in concrete

POLISANIER®   DICTIONARY

“Tiger-lines” sometimes happen during the curing of the concrete after installation. This is when plastic-sheets are placed on the wet concrete. If shifted during curing process, the plastic cover will leave the floor with marks in the concrete, resembling tiger-stripes.

At POLISANIER® we always engage our clients in understanding their unique needs to provide solutions that fit their vision and operational requirements.
By closely collaborating with clients, we ensure that our services are tailored precisely to meet the project’s demands.

This commitment to customization allows us to deliver more effective, long-lasting results and a better overall experience, ensuring that every project is completed to the client’s satisfaction.

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.​
