The purpose is to educate these firms on how to properly specify Architectural Concrete Polishing as well as the different types of concrete polishing on the market (such as wet vs dry). We also show how to understand time frame of when polishing concrete should take place and the cost of polishing concrete. Using the Reflective Floor Architectural Polishing System, designers can define a complete warrantied system that offers multiple specifications that defines cut level of aggregate exposure and gloss level of polish. Reflective Floor specifications allows designers to customize their spec to meet their client’s architectural concrete polishing design needs. We finally now have an understandable specification that, Designer, End User, Building Owner, General Contractor, and Polishing Applicator all understand. The Reflective Floor Architectural Concrete specification list each step necessary to achieve the desired polished concrete look. With a defined Reflective Floor spec you eliminate the polishing applicators guessing game on what the design firm is trying to achieve with their concrete floor. General contractors can now get correct/competitive pricing that is consistent to the specification vs having someone low price the job because of a non-defined spec then slamming end users with outrageous change orders.
