Polished concrete is ideal anywhere you have a large floor surface -- indoors or outdoors -- that needs to look good and be low maintenance. We grind the concrete (either newly poured or resurfaced) with progressively finer grits to achieve just the amount of polish that the customer desires.

You will find polished concrete inside retail stores such as Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart, and grocery stores. Where else? Museums (The Guggenheim), transportation hubs (Grand Central Station), airplane hangars, warehouses, restaurants, residential garages, and outside patios.

Polished concrete can range from a low polish to a high gloss. We also can embed hard materials such as aggregates and marbles into the mix to produce unique, gasp-inducing designs that resemble everything from terrazzo to stars -- the sky's the limit!

With polished concrete, there is no costly wax...buff...strip...repeat as there is with traditional Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT), which typically lasts only about 7 years before needing replacement.

You simply keep the floor clean. That's it!

One floor. One system. One time. Explore the savings, durability, and ease that comes uniquely with the FGS/PermaShine polished concrete system.

You'll see the value in the FGS/PermaShine system from the moment our factory-trained and approved contractors begin our proprietary process of dry grinding and polishing. You'll benefit from:

• Very limited work area downtime;
• A safe, dust-free atmosphere in your facility during the process;
• Easy and completely compliant cleanup when your project is done.

You can pay (and keep paying) for a floor finish that requires frequent repairs, reinstallations and costly upkeep. Or you can invest one time in the beauty, quality and long-term savings of an FGS/PermaShine floor.

To keep vinyl floors looking sharp, you'll frequently put wax down, strip it off, and put it down again at a cost of $1.20-$1.50 per square foot each year. Over ten years, you could easily have upkeep expenses of up to $150,000 per 10,000 square feet!

Epoxy or urethane coatings are beautiful at first, but tend to lose their beauty quickly. Between the fumes and the mess, re-applications can drive the cost of a coating to between $20,000-$80,000 for 10,000 square feet during a ten-year period. That's before you figure in everyday maintenance expenses.
