The Problem
Worn Floors Make a Bad First Impression
An interior commercial floor takes a beating no driveway ever sees. Carts, heels, foot traffic, dropped product and daily mopping all hit the same square footage hundreds of times a day. An entrance, foyer or lobby is the worst of it — it is the first thing a customer or client walks across, and it is where bare or sealed-once concrete starts to scuff, grey out and look tired first.
Concrete is porous. Coffee, grease, salt tracked in off the sidewalk and cleaning chemicals all soak in and stain. Untreated slabs also dust — that fine grey powder that keeps coming back on shelving and product no matter how often the floor is swept. Polished or sealed-once concrete eventually loses its finish too, going dull and patchy in the traffic lanes while the edges still look new.
For retail and office space, that worn floor reads as a worn business. First impressions matter, and the fix is to protect and refresh the finish before customers start noticing it.
Who We Seal For
Property Owners and Commercial Tenants
We work for both sides of the lease — the owner protecting an asset, and the tenant protecting a space they are responsible for. Most interior floor sealing we do is part of a tenant improvement or fit-out.
Commercial Property Owners
Protect the concrete in a building you own or lease out, keep common areas and entrances presentable between tenants, and reduce the wear that turns into expensive grinding and refinishing down the road. A sealed floor is easier to hand over clean at turnover.
Commercial Tenants & Renters
Protect a leased space, meet a landlord or lease requirement, and make a strong first impression on your own customers. We seal during your fit-out before the fixtures go in, or after hours once you are open, and give you documentation you can hand to the landlord.
What Sealing Does
Protect the Finish, Cut the Maintenance
Sealing protects and refreshes an interior floor so it keeps looking sharp under daily traffic. It closes off the porous surface that lets stains soak in and grey dust escape, so spills wipe up instead of setting and the floor stays cleaner with less effort.
On polished and decorative concrete, it works as a protective, durability layer — adding stain and scuff resistance without changing the look. A sealed showroom or foyer holds its finish through the seasons instead of going dull in the traffic lanes.
- Stain and scuff resistance for high-traffic retail and office floors
- Dust control — stops the fine grey powder coming off bare slabs
- Easier maintenance — spills wipe up, daily cleaning goes faster
- Slip-aware finish options for entrances and foyers
- Enhances and protects polished or decorative concrete without a gloss coating
- Keeps showrooms, lobbies and entrances looking sharp for customers
Product Authority
Why We Seal With Pavix CCC-100
An interior retail or showroom floor sells the space, so the worst thing a sealer can do is change the look you paid a designer to get right — or peel and dull out in the traffic lanes a year later. We don't seal it with whatever's cheapest on the shelf, and we don't put a gloss topcoat over polished concrete. The product we apply, Chem-Crete Pavix CCC-100, is a penetrating dual-crystalline sealer that works inside the slab — adding stain and scuff resistance and durability without sitting on top as a film that hazes or changes the sheen. That track record is the manufacturer's, not ours, but it is why we specify it for an office, lobby or sales floor whether you own the building or are protecting a leased space as the tenant.
- Backed by independent, peer-reviewed research. The dual-crystalline technology has been published in peer-reviewed engineering journals (Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2020 and 2021) and studied as a project of the National Concrete Pavement Technology Center at Iowa State University — most consumer sealers have nothing of the kind behind them.
- Made by an established manufacturer. Chem-Crete has developed concrete and pavement protection products since 1969 and now offers more than 120 construction solutions used on roadways, bridges, tunnels and commercial structures.
- Resists the stains that age a sales floor. The manufacturer's lab testing, run to ASTM C1202, reports roughly a 98% reduction in chloride-ion penetration — the same low-permeability that keeps tracked-in winter salt, coffee, grease and spills from soaking into a retail or showroom slab and greying it out in the entrance lanes first.
- Protects the finish without coating over it. Pavix is a dual-crystalline penetrating treatment, tested for water permeability to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers CRD-48-92 method — it works inside the slab, so a polished or decorative floor keeps the exact sheen and look it was finished with, with no topcoat to haze, yellow or peel out in the traffic lanes under foot traffic and daily cleaning.
- Proven on concrete under far harder use. The dual-crystalline system we apply is marketed and used by the manufacturer on highways and airport pavements — concrete that takes punishment no showroom or office floor ever will, which is why it holds up easily to carts, heels and mopping inside a leased or owned space.
Performance figures are the manufacturer's published laboratory results, tested to the noted ASTM and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers methods. We are an independent applicator of Pavix CCC-100; these are the product's credentials. For decorative and polished interior floors, Pavix is applied for protection and durability rather than as a gloss or topcoat.
Our Process
Sealed Around Your Hours — Not the Other Way Around
A store that has to close is a store that loses sales. We seal in zones, after hours and on weekends so the business stays open — and we coordinate with fit-out schedules when it is a tenant improvement.
Assessment & Scope
We walk the floor, check the condition and finish, confirm any landlord or lease requirements, and map the traffic zones. You get a written scope and a recommended re-seal cycle at no cost.
Schedule Around You
Retail and showroom work goes after hours, overnight or on weekends. For a tenant improvement we coordinate with your fit-out so the floor is sealed before fixtures and inventory move in.
Zone Sealing
We seal in sections so the rest of the store or office stays open and accessible. Entrances and foyers get sequenced so customers and staff always have a clear, dry path.
Surface Prep
The floor is cleaned of grease, scuffs and residue so the sealer can penetrate. On polished concrete we prep carefully to protect the existing finish.
Penetrating Application
The water-based, low-odour sealer is applied and soaks into the slab to react inside the concrete. No thick film, no harsh fumes, no long shutdown of your space.
Documentation
You get documentation of the work for your records or your landlord, plus a reminder when the next re-seal is due.
FAQ
Commercial Floor Sealing Questions
We lease our space — can a tenant get the floor sealed?
Yes, and it is common. Tenant improvements and fit-outs are one of the main reasons we get called for interior floor sealing. We can work to a landlord or lease specification, seal during your build-out before fixtures go in, and give you written documentation for your records. If your lease requires landlord sign-off on the product or scope, we will supply what you need to get it approved.
Will it disrupt our store or office?
We plan around your hours. For a retail floor or showroom we seal in zones or after-hours and on weekends so the business stays open and customers keep moving through. For offices and lobbies we sequence the work so staff and visitors always have a clear, dry path. The sealer is water-based and low-odour, so there is no long shutdown.
Does this work on polished concrete?
Yes. Polished and decorative interior concrete still benefits from a penetrating sealer — it adds stain and scuff resistance and helps the finish hold up to traffic without changing the look. We treat Pavix as a protective, durability layer that works inside the slab, not a gloss coating that sits on top, so your polished finish stays as you designed it.
How long does it last?
Because the protection penetrates into the slab rather than forming a film on the surface, it does not wear off or peel the way a topical coating does under foot traffic and cleaning. After a site assessment we give you a recommended re-seal cycle in writing so it can go straight into your maintenance budget.
What does commercial floor sealing cost?
It is priced by square footage, the condition and finish of the floor, and access — there is no flat rate, and we do not publish fixed prices. Sealing is a small fraction of what it costs to grind, patch or replace a worn, stained interior floor. Request a site assessment and we will give you itemized numbers to budget against.
Keep Your Retail or Office Floor Looking Sharp
A no-cost site assessment gets you a written scope, a recommended re-seal cycle, and itemized numbers you can take to an owner or a landlord. Whether you own the building or lease the space, sealing the floor now costs a fraction of grinding and refinishing it later — and we work around your hours so the business stays open.
