In the interest of fair research, I recently went to a friend's house who had his concrete floor polished. He invited the whole for coffee, so I took the opportunity to look at it with my own eyes. After all, he seemed positively ecstatic about what he got. Besides, I heard he can make wicked coffee with that new espresso machine of his.
So I got there, and quickly noticed the floor. It was probably because I've seen the previous ugly flooring; because at that moment I clearly noted that it was beautiful. Even with everything else on the house newly renovated, the awesomeness of the floor was easily the most noticeable.
Although that might be the one bad thing about it. Your floor should probably complement the whole of the house's interior and not stand out from the rest of the place. To give my friend his due, it wasn't like he didn't try to; his house that a standard motif that was followed even by the concrete floor. But even so, the polished concrete floor simply stands out.
I will try to see the other types of polished concrete before making my final judgement on it. But as of now, I believe this type of floor is best for commercial purposes. Places like hotel lobbies, industrial centers, even in schools. It has a glamorous quality that is not suited for the home so as much as possible, avoid it. Or make sure your home is completely glamourous itself to strike the right sort of balance.
And to be fair, it wasn't that bad. His home is still generally pleasing to the eye. And it seemed like he wanted his floor to stand out, so kudos to that friend of mine. In addition, I should applaud the relatively little expense that he paid for it. This benefit will also be reinforced if concrete polishing does last; as you don't have to pay for upkeep. Time will tell. - 16955
