The range of flooring options available in today’s marketplace is vast, each having their own individual place and performance characteristics. As such, owners and design professionals must evaluate many factors to determine the best flooring option for a structure’s given needs and what its environment will allow. One flooring system or option gaining popularity is polished concrete. Although polished concrete is relatively new in North America (approximately 15 years), this system offers many advantages over other flooring options.
This paper will focus on the application of polymeric coatings and linings, which include, but are not limited to, polyamine and novolac epoxies and vinyl esters. These materials are delivered to the job site in buckets or bags and are mixed and applied on-site, and it is the responsibility of the owner, engineer and material supplier to determine the type of material and coating system to specify for any particular project.

There is ongoing development of new technologies, designs, and construction practices that result in reduced energy use. Through development of these technologies and incorporation of them into Building Standards, the energy and water use and greenhouse gas emissions from these buildings will be substantially reduced. One of the compelling measures that will continue to be developed and expanded is the high efficiency improvements to the building envelope, including cool roofs and other measures to reduce the impact of solar gain on roofs and attics.
Concrete superstructures are either post-tensioned or prestressed using mild steel tensioning strands running the length of the concrete structural members. In most designs, the mild steel strands are uncoated and rely solely on their proper placement within the concrete member and the concrete itself to provide adequate corrosion protection.
