Concrete Sealing in Addison, IL

What sealing does for a working floor

Oil and chemical resistance. A sealed floor is protected from the oil, grease, coolant, cutting fluids and cleaning chemicals that a machine shop floor sees every shift. They sit on the surface and are wiped up instead of soaking into the concrete and staining it permanently.

Dust control and easier cleaning. The fine cement dust a bare slab gives off under wheels and feet stops once the surface is ground and sealed, which matters in a building where dust ends up on machined parts and in machinery. Because the floor is non-porous, dirt, liquids, mold and bacteria cannot get trapped in it, and it is cleaned with a mop and soap and water.

Long life at a low cost. The sealer protects the slab from moisture, salt tracked in from the yard and UV, so the concrete underneath is preserved rather than slowly worn and stained. Against the cost of replacing an industrial floor, or of laying a new one over it, sealing is the cost-effective way to keep a sound slab in service for years.

Sealed concrete options for an Addison unit

Grind and seal for a working floor. The grind takes off the oil-darkened surface, the stains and any old paint or sealer, and the clear concrete sealer goes onto the cleaned slab. The floor keeps its own color and character, it just stops absorbing and stops dusting. This is the choice for a machine shop, an assembly floor or a store, where the floor is there to be worked on.

Grind and seal for the office and the front. The same process taken further: the slab is ground back to even, clean concrete before it is sealed, and the finish has the look of polished concrete at a lower price. It reflects the lighting, brings up the color in the concrete and suits an office, a showroom or a reception where the floor is seen as well as used.

Concrete sealing outdoors. The exterior concrete around a unit can be sealed the same way: walkways, patios and driveways. Outside, the sealer keeps water, salt and weather from getting into the surface and stops it staining and weathering, and it keeps the concrete looking new.

Sealed floors around Addison

Much of the industrial stock in Addison is light manufacturing, machining and assembly in single-story units, a lot of it built decades ago on slabs that have never had anything done to them. That is the floor sealing is for: sound, old, dark with oil and shedding dust. We grind and seal machine shops, assembly floors, fabrication units, stores and the commercial units alongside them across Addison and the neighboring DuPage suburbs.

We work out of our shop in Roselle with our own crew, not subcontracted labor. We are licensed and insured, we stand behind the work with an extended warranty on our craftsmanship, and the people who come out to look at your floor are the people who will seal it.
