The beauty of marble and granite, at a fraction of the cost; concrete polishing offers an affordable, eco-friendly alternative to expensive, high-maintenance flooring.

“This is not a topical coating,” explains Nevada Concrete Coatings, Inc. owner Rayson Shizuru. “Unlike epoxy and overlays, concrete polishing is not only very low maintenance, it also does not require resealing and will not peel or chip. It’s such an amazing alternative and, in many cases qualifies for LEED credits.”

Five years ago, Shizuru had just launched his new company and, while attending the “World of Concrete” convention got his first glimpse of concrete polishing. He knew immediately it was a process he wanted to learn and make the focus of his business.

“It’s a technology that has been around for years and it’s my vision to bring the concept to the forefront in Las Vegas,” explains Shizuru. “It is a less-is-more concept, taking what you already have and enhancing it. What’s more, this process leaves less of a carbon footprint than coatings.”

Concrete polishing is an intensive, eight-step process of diamond grinding and polishing the concrete to a granite-like luster. This painstaking process transforms concrete into a hard, scratch-resistant and easy to maintain floor. Shizuru has invested in special equipment and undergone extensive hands-on training to perfect this skill, and is continually seeking innovative ways to acquire additional knowledge regarding the process and the product.

“I always thought the machine did all the work,” he admits, “but now I know that there is a tremendous amount of experience, knowledge and skill required as well.”

Polished concrete floors are available in virtually as many styles as there are imaginations. Perfect for automotive, convention centers, schools, restaurants and even homes, a polished concrete floor can revitalize a worn or stained floor into a beautiful, lustrous surface, that’s as easy to maintain as it is to look at.

“These are gorgeous floors with very unique and contemporary looks for each client,” says Shizuru. “I hope that we will see more polished concrete floors in the buildings in this city in the near future.”
