Professional Polished Overlay Services
Give worn or uneven floors a fresh, modern look with high-performance overlays polished to perfection.
Understanding Polished Overlays
Polished overlays are an advanced resurfacing solution that transforms old, damaged, or uneven concrete into a flawless, polished surface. By applying a thin layer of cementitious or polymer-modified material over the existing slab, we create a smooth and durable base that can be polished to a high-gloss, satin, or matte finish. The result is a fresh, modern floor with the same beauty and performance as polished concrete without the need for slab replacement.
Why Choose Polished Overlays for Commercial Use?
Polished overlays are ideal for spaces where the existing concrete is not suitable for traditional polishing or when a new design aesthetic is desired:
Surface Renewal: Perfect for repairing and covering cracks, stains, and wear in old concrete.
Customizable Design: Choose from a range of colors, finishes, and decorative patterns to match your brand or interior style.
Durability: Withstand heavy traffic, impact, and daily wear in commercial and industrial environments.
Low Maintenance: Like polished concrete, overlays require only simple, routine cleaning.
Our Polished Overlay Process
At Midwest Epoxy and Polishing Inc., we follow a proven process to ensure long-lasting results:
- Assessment: We inspect the existing floor to determine its condition and recommend overlay thickness, material, and finish options.
- Surface Preparation: The old surface is cleaned, profiled, and repaired to ensure proper bonding of the overlay.
- Overlay Installation: A high-performance resurfacing compound is applied and leveled for a flawless base.
- Polishing: Industrial polishing equipment is used to achieve the desired sheen and smoothness.
- Sealing and Finish: A protective sealer is applied to enhance color, prevent staining, and extend the floor’s life.
