Professional Floor Services: Restore, Protect, and Maintain Your Floors

Kreative Koncepts offers comprehensive commercial floor care services designed to maintain, restore, and protect your flooring investment. From routine maintenance to complete refinishing, our professional floor services keep your facility looking its best while extending the life of your floors.

High-Speed Buffing and Polishing

Floor buffing maintains the high-gloss finish of your floors, keeping them looking professionally polished and well-maintained. This essential maintenance service prevents the need for costly refinishing by protecting your floor's finish layer.

Two Buffing Methods:

Spray Buffing: A specialized cleaning solution is sprayed onto the floor during the buffing process. This liquid aids in removing dirt, scuffs, and scratches while the buffer polishes the surface. Spray buffing cleans and shines simultaneously, making it ideal for high-traffic areas that accumulate dirt quickly.

Dry Buffing: This method uses a high-speed machine spinning at 1,500 RPM to generate heat that burnishes the floor finish. The friction creates an even, high-gloss, smooth surface while removing minor scratches and scuff marks from everyday foot traffic.

Best For:

• Vinyl composite tile (VCT)

• Marble floors

• Laminate flooring

• Tile, concrete, and stone surfaces

• High-traffic commercial facilities

Recommended Frequency:

• High-traffic areas: Weekly

• Moderate-traffic areas: Monthly

• Low-traffic areas: Quarterly or semi-annually

Regular buffing maintains your floor's appearance, reduces long-term maintenance costs, and creates a professional impression for customers and employees.

Power Scrubbing: Deep Floor Cleaning

Power scrubbing goes beyond traditional mopping to remove embedded dirt, grime, and stains from floors. This deep cleaning process is essential for unfinished or heavily soiled surfaces that require intensive treatment.

The Power Scrubbing Process:

A commercial floor scrubber equipped with rotating brushes and specialized cleaning pads spins at 170-330 RPM. A mixture of water and industrial-grade cleaning solution is applied to break down stubborn dirt and contaminants. The machine's scrubbing action agitates and lifts embedded grime while the built-in vacuum simultaneously removes dirty water and debris. Finally, the floor is rinsed with clean water to eliminate any cleaning solution residue.

Best For:

• Garage floors

• Warehouse facilities

• Industrial spaces

• Restaurant kitchens

• Loading docks

• Unfinished concrete floors

• Heavily soiled tile and stone

Benefits:

• Removes deeply embedded dirt mopping can't reach

• Eliminates grease, oil, and industrial contaminants

• Prepares floors for sealing or finishing

• Improves workplace safety by removing slip hazards

• Extends floor lifespan by preventing buildup damage

Strip and Wax: Complete Floor Restoration

Strip and wax services provide a complete floor refinishing solution, transforming dull, worn floors into gleaming, professional surfaces. This comprehensive process removes old wax, scratches, scuffs, and embedded dirt before applying fresh protective coats.

The Strip and Wax Process:

Step 1: Stripping Specialized chemical strippers are applied to dissolve and remove all existing wax layers, finishes, and buildup. A low-speed floor machine with stripping pads agitates the solution, breaking down years of accumulated finish.

Step 2: Removal and Rinsing All loosened wax, dirt, and chemical residue is thoroughly extracted. The floor is then rinsed multiple times with clean water to ensure a pristine surface ready for new finish application.

Step 3: Wax Application Multiple coats of commercial-grade floor wax (typically 3-6 coats) are applied and allowed to cure. Each layer builds protection and enhances the high-gloss finish.

Step 4: Final Buffing Once cured, the floor is buffed to achieve maximum shine and smoothness.

Benefits of Strip and Wax:

• Restores floors from dull to high-gloss finish

• Extends flooring lifespan by 3-5 years

• Protects against scratches, scuffs, and stains

• Enhances facility appearance and professionalism

• More cost-effective than floor replacement

• Improves light reflection, reducing lighting costs

Recommended Frequency:

• High-traffic facilities: 2-4 times per year

• Moderate-traffic areas: 1-2 times per year

• Low-traffic spaces: Annually

Maintenance Tip: Regular buffing between strip and wax services maintains shine and extends the time between full refinishing, reducing long-term costs.

Concrete Grinding and Polishing

Concrete grinding and polishing transforms dull, damaged concrete into a stunning, durable, high-gloss surface. This process creates a permanent finish that requires minimal maintenance while providing exceptional durability and aesthetic appeal.

The Grinding and Polishing Process:

Step 1: Surface Preparation The concrete surface is ground to remove imperfections, old coatings, stains, and surface irregularities. This creates a clean, level foundation for polishing.

Step 2: Progressive Diamond Grinding Specialized diamond-embedded pads progressively refine the concrete surface through multiple passes:

• Coarse grinding (16-40 grit): Removes major imperfections and levels the surface

• Medium grinding (80-120 grit): Smooths scratches from coarse grinding

• Fine grinding (200-400 grit): Prepares surface for polishing

• Polishing (800-3000 grit): Achieves desired shine level from satin to high-gloss

At each grit level, scratches from the previous pass are meticulously removed before progressing to finer grits.

Step 3: Chemical Hardening A liquid chemical hardener penetrates the concrete, densifying the surface. This treatment increases durability, reduces dusting, and enhances the concrete's ability to accept a high polish.

Step 4: Final Polishing Ultra-fine diamond pads (1500-3000 grit) create the final shine level based on your preference—from subtle satin to mirror-like high-gloss.

Step 5: Optional Sealing A penetrating sealer can be applied for additional protection against spills, staining, and moisture penetration, though polished concrete is naturally stain-resistant.

Benefits of Polished Concrete:

• Durability: Extremely resistant to wear, lasting 20+ years with proper maintenance

• Low Maintenance: No waxing required; simple dust mopping and occasional damp mopping

• Cost-Effective: Lower lifetime costs compared to other flooring options

• Sustainable: Uses existing concrete, reducing waste and material consumption

• Light Reflectivity: Enhances ambient lighting, reducing energy costs

• Chemical Resistance: Resists stains from oils, chemicals, and spills

• Aesthetically Versatile: Available in various shine levels and decorative options

Best For:

• Retail stores and showrooms

• Warehouses and distribution centers

• Automotive facilities

• Restaurants and commercial kitchens

• Office buildings and lobbies

• Industrial facilities

• Residential garages and basements

Choosing the Right Floor Service

Selecting the appropriate floor care service depends on your flooring type, traffic level, and desired appearance:

• High-Speed Buffing: Regular maintenance for finished floors (VCT, tile, marble)

• Power Scrubbing: Deep cleaning for unfinished or heavily soiled floors

• Strip and Wax: Complete refinishing for worn or damaged finished floors

• Grinding and Polishing: Permanent solution for concrete floors seeking durability and low maintenance

Many facilities benefit from combining services: regular buffing with periodic strip and wax, or power scrubbing followed by sealing for concrete floors.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does strip and wax take? 

Timing depends on square footage and floor condition. A typical 5,000 square foot area takes 8-12 hours, including drying time between coats. We often schedule this service overnight to minimize business disruption.

Can you polish any type of concrete?

 Most concrete surfaces can be polished, but factors like aggregate exposure, existing coatings, and concrete age affect results. We provide free assessments to determine if your concrete is a good candidate for polishing.

How often should I buff my floors? 

High-traffic commercial areas benefit from weekly buffing. Moderate-traffic spaces need monthly service, while low-traffic areas can schedule quarterly buffing. We'll assess your facility and recommend an optimal schedule.

Is polished concrete slippery? 

Polished concrete provides excellent traction when dry and comparable slip resistance to other hard flooring when wet. We can adjust the final polish level to meet specific slip-resistance requirements.

How do I maintain polished concrete?

 Polished concrete requires minimal maintenance: regular dust mopping, occasional damp mopping with pH-neutral cleaner, and periodic repolishing (every 2-5 years depending on traffic).

What's the difference between wax and polish? Wax is a coating applied to surfaces like VCT that requires periodic stripping and reapplication. Polish (in concrete applications) refers to mechanically refining the surface to create a permanent shine that doesn't require recoating.

Can you remove stains during the strip and wax process? 

Strip and wax removes most surface stains embedded in old wax. However, stains that have penetrated the flooring material itself may remain. We'll assess stain severity during our initial evaluation.

Do you offer eco-friendly floor care options? 

Yes. We offer low-VOC floor finishes, environmentally responsible stripping chemicals, and green cleaning solutions. Polished concrete is inherently sustainable, using existing materials without additional coatings
