The T.W. Hicks dyed and polished concrete floor protection system transforms standard concrete flooring to a customizable and unique flooring. Concrete can be colored, while being placed through integral color or the use of dry shake color hardeners, and then polished. Dry shake colors give a decorative look to industrial polished concrete flooring. Existing concrete can be colored by concrete dyes or concrete acid staining and polished. Additionally, concrete can be polished uncolored to create superior, wear-resistant polished concrete flooring. Polished concrete will change weak, unsightly stained concrete into a strong and beautiful surface that is both easy to clean and maintain over time.
