Why Maintenance Matters

Concrete floors are durable — but they are not maintenance-free. Daily use exposes them to:

  • Forklift and foot traffic

  • Spills, dirt, and abrasives

  • Cleaning chemicals

  • UV exposure (in certain spaces)

Over time, this leads to:

  • Loss of gloss and clarity

  • Micro-scratches that dull the finish

  • Staining from absorbed spills

  • Reduced slip resistance

Regular maintenance prevents these issues from compounding and keeps your facility looking professional.

What Is Burnishing & Sealing?

Burnishing is a high-speed polishing process that reactivates and densifies the surface, restoring shine without removing material.

Sealing adds a fresh protective layer to repel water, chemicals, and dirt. Together, these processes:

  • Restore the original sheen

  • Extend the life of the floor

  • Improve light reflectivity and brightness

  • Reduce long-term cleaning costs

The Surface Solutions Maintenance Plan

Our maintenance program is fully customizable and can be scheduled:

  • Annually: Ideal for lower-traffic areas

  • Semi-Annually: Recommended for warehouses, retail spaces, and facilities with heavy traffic

Each visit includes:

  1. Inspection & Assessment – Check for wear patterns, stains, or damage

  2. Deep Clean & Prep – Remove built-up dirt and residue

  3. Burnish – High-speed mechanical process to bring back gloss

  4. Re-Seal – Apply a compatible guard/sealer to protect against wear

  5. Report & Recommendations – Document condition and suggest next steps

Benefits of a Maintenance Plan

  • Consistent Appearance: No more dull, uneven floors

  • Lower Lifecycle Cost: Preventive care costs far less than full refinishing

  • Safety & Compliance: Maintains slip resistance and hygiene

  • Operational Efficiency: Minimize downtime with scheduled visits

  • ESG & Sustainability: Extend the life of existing materials, reducing waste

Industries That Benefit Most

  • Warehouses & Distribution Centers: Maintain visibility and safe walkways

  • Retail Stores: Keep floors bright and inviting for customers

  • Corporate Offices: Project professionalism for clients and staff

  • Healthcare & Pharma: Maintain hygiene and compliance standards

  • Schools & Universities: Reduce long-term maintenance budgets

The ROI of Maintenance

Skipping maintenance can lead to costly corrective measures later:

  • Full re-polishing or coating re-application

  • Increased labor for cleaning

  • Higher risk of slip-and-fall incidents

  • Shorter lifespan of the flooring system

By contrast, regular maintenance preserves your investment and spreads costs predictably over time.
