Do I have to paint a sealer on our polished floor every few years?

CCC Polished Concrete is one of the most durable and low maintenance floor finishes one could choose. Other than mopping the floor little maintenance is required. In very high traffic areas the floor may require a light burnish every few years. This is a process which just freshens up the finish.

Can I have burnished concrete flooring in a family home?

The quality of a burnished floor comes down to the quality of the concrete contractor. The contractor will typically run a powered trowel or "helicopter" over the wet concrete slab and with experience and care can achieve quite a smooth finish. It is not easy and any imperfection, gouge or non-level area or dip will be very visible in the final concrete floor.
