Breakthrough Technology Delivers Environmentally Friendly Polished Concrete Floors Breakthrough Technology Delivers Environmentally Friendly Polished Concrete Floors

With the help of a unique, environmentally-friendly process from the flooring experts at QuestMark, plain concrete floors are being transformed into things of beauty. Questmark's proprietary DiamondQuest® System uses industrial diamonds in a multi-step grinding process to give ordinary concrete floors high-quality marble-like sheen and the ability to inhibit water and other contaminants from penetrating the surface.

DiamondQuest does this without the dust and inconvenience often associated with polishing concrete. The system uses integrated HEPA vacuums, so there's virtually no dust, allowing facilities to continue to operate while floors are being polished. And with no waiting for materials to cure, floors can be used as soon as the polishing is done.

DiamondQuest's dense, smooth floor surfaces come in a variety of finishes, from matte to highly reflective, all of them highly safe for pedestrians. The National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) has certified DiamondQuest slip co-efficient of friction (SCOF) safety.

Not surprisingly, both for its beauty and practicality, DiamondQuest is rapidly becoming the flooring system of choice among informed facility managers. It has been used to polish more than 40 million square feet of flooring since 2002, in locations as diverse as schools, retail and grocery stores, airports, warehouses and factory floors.

Non-Toxic, Environmentally-Friendly Floors

Concrete has long been recognized as an extremely-durable, environmentally-friendly building material. With DiamondQuest, concrete becomes the floor of choice in locations which might otherwise have been covered with less eco-friendly flooring materials which require adhesives and off-gas volatile organic compounds (VOC)

Requiring nothing more than an occasional dust mop or cleaning with a walk-behind scrubber, DiamondQuest's sealed surface also reduces environmental impact from cleaning and maintenance. There are no coatings on the floor surface to peel, flake or discolor.

The most environmentally-friendly approach, of course, is to make use of existing materials. DiamondQuest extends the life of existing floors, by allowing floor damage to be patched and repaired. The process can even provide some degree of leveling.

QuestMark assures the highest quality results by using its own well-trained employees to apply the DiamondQuest system.
