Commercial applications
Commercial concrete & epoxy flooring
Polished concrete, epoxy, urethane and coating systems for warehouses, plants, kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare facilities and other commercial spaces across Southern California.
Overview
Floors built around how your facility works
Diamond polishing technology makes it possible to grind and polish concrete to a mirror-like gloss, and seamless resin systems give commercial floors a durable, easy-to-clean surface. Concrete Polishing Solutions provides concrete polishing, care and maintenance, along with epoxy and urethane flooring, for commercial customers.
Our aim is to improve the longevity, durability and appearance of your concrete floor. Commercial floors face heavy loads, equipment, spills, chemicals and constant cleaning, so we match the system to the traffic, loads, impacts and environment each space will see.

Choose by facility type
Which flooring systems suit different facilities?
The sixteen applications fall into four broad groups. The group gives a starting point; each application page covers the specific needs and systems.
| Facility group | Applications | What the floor usually has to handle | Systems often considered |
|---|---|---|---|
| Customer-facing spaces | Retail stores, hotels, restaurants, auto dealerships and corporate offices | Constant foot traffic, daily cleaning and presentation; kitchens and service areas add grease, moisture and vehicles | Polished concrete, solid and metallic epoxy and overlays, with seamless systems for kitchens and service areas |
| Production and operations | Factories, manufacturing, industrial buildings, warehouses and commercial kitchens | Heavy traffic, forklifts and equipment, oil, grease and chemicals; in kitchens, heat, hot oil, moisture and frequent washing | Concrete polishing, solid epoxy, epoxy quartz, urethane cement and concrete repair |
| Public and institutional | Government, military, schools and hospitals | Heavy pedestrian traffic, carts and cleaning routines; in stations, bays and hangars, heavy machinery and chemicals | Seamless epoxy, polished concrete and urethane systems, with striping where equipment parks |
| Specialized facilities | Parking structures and sports facilities | Parking: deck movement, moisture, fuels and chlorides. Sports: the conditions of each space | Parking: deck coatings, expansion joints and line markings. Sports: epoxy and polyurethane systems |
Flooring needs
What commercial floors have to handle
Heavy loads and equipment
Forklifts, trucks, carts and machinery put constant stress on the slab.
Spills and chemicals
Oil, grease, fuel, cleaning chemicals and acids can stain and damage unprotected concrete.
Moisture
Wet processes, hosing and moisture vapor in slab-on-grade buildings affect which system will last.
Daily cleaning
Seamless floors avoid the grout lines and stripping and waxing that other floors need.
Striping and wayfinding
Line striping and color coding can show where equipment parks and where people walk.
Limited downtime
Facilities cannot shut down for long, so installation is planned around your operations.
Two directions
Polished concrete or a seamless resin system?
Most commercial floors start in one of two directions: polishing the slab itself, or installing a seamless resin system on top. An evaluation of the slab, and of the traffic, loads, impacts and environment, decides which fits.
Polished concrete
Suited to high-traffic areas with forklifts and heavy equipment, where coatings can wear quickly, and to retail and school floors that need simple daily cleaning without stripping or waxing.
See concrete polishing.
Seamless resin systems
Epoxy, epoxy quartz and urethane cement are chosen where floors face spills, chemicals, moisture or thermal shock, such as kitchens, food production and maintenance areas, and where striping or color coding is wanted.
See epoxy flooring and urethane cement.
