GREEN UMBRELLA Microfilm
Green Umbrella Microfilm is an environmentally friendly hybrid surface treatment that creates a durable micro-thin layer to seal polished concrete floors. Properly applied, Green Umbrella Microfilm forms a breathable, dense, protective layer which is highly resistant to aviation oils, stands up to acid and chemical exposure, and is not prone to whitening, peeling or flaking – all with a beautiful high-gloss finish.
Green Umbrella Microfilm is specially formulated for use in manufacturing & light assembly plants, warehouse/distribution centers, food service operations, retail stores & showrooms, parking decks, garages and any other areas where polished concrete surfaces are maintained.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is concrete polishing?
Polishing concrete is similar to sanding wood. Heavy-duty polishing machines equipped with progressively finer grits of diamond-impregnated disks or segments are used to gradually grind down concrete surfaces to the desired degree of smoothness and shine.
What are the benefits of polishing concrete?
Properly finished, polished concrete is harder, denser and more resistant to soiling, scuffing, abrasion and damage from oil & chemical exposure. Polished concrete surfaces are exceptionally durable and require no waxing, reducing maintenance frequency while significantly extending the life of concrete and masonry.
Can all concrete be polished?
Generally speaking, any structurally sound concrete floor can be polished. It must be free of extensive patching and at least reasonably non-porous.
What type of facilities use polished concrete?
Polished concrete is an ideal flooring material for manufacturing & light assembly plants, warehouse/distribution centers, food service operations, retail stores & showrooms, parking decks, garages and other areas where a beautiful low-maintenance surface is desired.
Are polished concrete floors slippery?
Clean & dry polished concrete floors are even less slippery than plain concrete surfaces. For facilities requiring extra protection against slip-and-fall accidents, however, polished floors can be treated with anti-slip conditioners during routing cleaning.
Is it hard to maintain polished concrete floors?
Compared to other flooring types, polished concrete is virtually maintenance-free. A simple auto-scrubbing or damp mopping will keep it clean, and an occasional light re-polishing with fine grit abrasives will restore the gloss of the original process.
