Our High School's concrete floor was always polished and shiny, as I recall. It did not, however, look special at all, for there were also cracks here and there that indicated a lot of imperfections. No one really took notice, and that's why Concrete Polishing wasn't originally what I had in mind for our home. I did not want the centerpiece of the house to remind me of High School's mundane floor.
It's been about ten years, and once again I found myself contemplating the possibility for concrete polishing. Our home had fake wooden tiles (to which I admit having no love for whatsoever), which were already chipping here and there. I just had to remove it. The near perfect, concrete flooring below surprised me; it was practically untouched.
I then decided to just enhance the concrete somehow. Polishing it would seem ideal, but I really did not know anything about it. So I went to a Concrete Polishing website and asked around.
After lurking around the forums and asking a few questions, I met a contractor that lived in my general area. I told him about wanting to polish my concrete floor, and about how I didn't want to have a repeat of what my school had for a floor. He said that it all depends on the quality of the concrete before polishing; too many patch-ups or a wavy finish would require a new layer before polishing. He didn't think it was necessary for our home's floor, though, so I got him to help polish it for me.
When I get the time, I'm going to revisit that school. I've had some fond memories there, and I would like to help them out in achieving the floor glamour that they weren't able to execute. I'll most likely recommend my contractor friend to them.
I hope it works out for the school, in the same way that Concrete Polishing worked well for my house. Concrete Polishing, done right, is unlike any other flooring ever.
