Glazing concrete floors or glassing concrete floors reduces permeability, increases hardness and polish and shine of concrete floors. This method is one of the latest methods of improving and improving the performance of all types of new and old concrete floors. which is also known as polished concrete or concrete polishing. This method includes raising and improving abrasion resistance, increasing impermeability and polishing and polishing all types of concrete, mosaic, hard dry-sprayed concrete and hard mortar concrete floors. Which is done by using Copsil lithium base concrete hardeners which are in liquid form, and the execution of flooring and concrete polishing operations. Copsil lithium base hardeners are also known as penetrating silicate primers, liquid hardeners and penetrating silicate sealers. These types of hardeners easily increase the abrasion resistance and traffic load tolerance of the surface by penetrating the concrete surface and reacting with it without forming any layer and increasing the thickness. Also, due to condensation in the texture of the concrete, they reduce its permeability.
As you know, using concrete as a flooring has many advantages. But most of the weak points of concrete floors are due to the low permeability and abrasion resistance of these types of floors. The permeability of concrete causes the absorption of water, oil and other solvents. And it causes freezing problems, creating dandruff, very hard to clean and also creating an unhygienic environment. In the process of glazing concrete floors, these materials penetrate into the surface by performing sublimation operations and adding silicate sealers and hardeners on the surface. and increase the density, impermeability and glossiness of the concrete floor.
What is Glazing Concrete Floor?
The execution of polished concrete that reduces permeability and polishing and shining the surface of the concrete is also called glazing concrete floor. In this process, concrete surface hardening materials are added to the concrete floor to fill the pores and create dense and durable concrete. Then the surface is polished with a diamond polishing tool to achieve the required surface in terms of smoothness, shine and specified finish. Shiny and polished concrete simply and without any increase in thickness and layer by penetrating the concrete surfaces and creating a reaction with it greatly increases the wear resistance and load bearing of the traffic surface. It is worth mentioning that due to the use of hardeners, condensation occurs in the texture of concrete and can reduce its permeability greatly.
The benefits of glyzed concrete floor
• It looks like a stone, almost like granite.
• The maintenance and the need for concrete flooring is very low.
• It is easy to clean.
• Polished and shiny concrete can create a unified appearance between the inside and outside of concrete.
• Suitable for underfloor heating systems.
• Absorbs and retains heat.
• Creates a non-surface It becomes slippery.
In the process of glazing concrete floors, these materials penetrate into the surface by performing sublimation operations and adding silicate sealers and hardeners on the surface. and increase the density, impermeability and glossiness of the concrete floor. Silicate sealers and hardeners work in a reactive and absorbent way. These materials react with free calcium in the concrete by penetrating the surface of the concrete and produce calcium silicate hydrate. The produced calcium silicate hydrate becomes solid crystals and all microscopic pores and voids inside the concrete texture fills Because of this, the permeability of concrete is greatly reduced. Also, due to the condensation in the concrete texture, the wear resistance of the concrete surface increases greatly and it can even cause the surface to become anti-dust. These sealers and hardeners are completely absorbent and have a mineral structure and do not create any layer or film. Therefore, in this method, the surface properties are modified without the need to create any coating on the surface. One of the advantages and unique features of these products is their liquidity and high penetrating power. These features make it possible to modify and strengthen all kinds of old and new concrete surfaces without the need to increase the thickness of the surface and any change in their color and appearance.
What is the use of foam concrete concrete?
Floor concrete glazing process was initially designed for the industrial sector because in terms of the characteristics of hygiene and maintenance, they could not be used in non-industrial places. The weight bearing capacity of concrete makes polished concrete floors suitable for any home in terms of style.

How to keep the glyzing foam concrete
Cleaning surfaces that have been glazed is simply done with a rag or a cloth soaked in warm water. If the floor needs a deeper cleaning, a suitable cleaner with a neutral pH or a soft cloth can be used. Make sure not to use abrasives that can scratch the surface and remove the shine.
