Using a steam mop on polished concrete floors is not recommended. The best practice for cleaning polished concrete floors is to use a mop with hot water and a pH neutral floor cleaner.

The curing time for epoxy can vary depending on environmental conditions. Typically, it takes approximately 72 hours for epoxy to fully cure in warm and dry weather. However, if the conditions are humid or cold, it may require a few additional days for complete curing.
By incorporating non-slip granules into the epoxy, we can achieve the desired slip rating for the project, ensuring that the floor is not slippery.
The longevity of Epoxy Flooring varies based on the level of foot traffic it receives. With proper maintenance, Epoxy floors can typically last anywhere from 10 to 20 years.
Our factory floors are constructed using various materials, with epoxy being the most commonly used. It is a preferred choice due to its non-slip properties and durability. We recommend selecting materials that are resistant to chemical exposure to ensure long-lasting performance.
Typically, the floor leveling process takes approximately four hours for initial curing and around two days for proper setting. However, please note that the installation of finished flooring may require an additional one to two weeks, depending on the size of the floor area.

The process of densification can have long-lasting effects, typically lasting for 20-30 years with proper maintenance. At ACS, we provide a 10-year application warranty and a 20-year product warranty for our densification systems.
This system is commonly utilized in expansive commercial and industrial environments where a dust-free, long-lasting, and cost-effective solution is needed.
Concrete densification involves the use of liquid densifiers to chemically strengthen, seal, and eliminate dust on concrete surfaces. Sodium, potassium, and lithium densifiers are applied to react with the hydrated cement in the concrete, resulting in increased density and long-lasting hardness of the floor. This process helps improve the durability and performance of the concrete surface.
