“What do we do with 

these floors of ours!?”

RPM is Retail Polishing Management LLC. 

For many years, our clients have been requesting a better solution for their 

regional, national, and even international concrete floor processing solutions. 

Current national, local, and regional providers have not been successful 

in meeting those expectations on service or value. 

In 2014, a group of very successful larger regional polishing companies came 

together, formed a new company and developed a new approach to address 

the demand. Since then, our network of DPC’s (Diamond Polishing Contractors) 

has increased significantly, providing a unique coverage reach and 

response unequal in our industry. 

We provide Concrete Sealing, Staining, Polishing, Coating and Surface Preparation 

& Remediation Services to clients whose various real estate interests 

are diversely located geographically. 

Local Response, Regional Coverage and National Support are what you can 

expect when you contract with RPM. With our network of DPC’s, of which 

most are actual owners of RPM, you get an owner level commitment not a 

regional manager response. 

When you are an RPM National Account Client, a single call is all it takes to get 

equipment and personnel to any of your locations throughout the Continental 

United States, Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and ever expanding international 

locales. 

• Besides Beautiful Concrete? 

• Your project always comes first! 

• Predictable Results you can count on 

• Ease of Consolidated Administration 

• Customized Project Management Attention 

• Bulletproof Preventive Maintenance Solutions 

• Ownership Level Commitment Everytime 

• Tertiary Coverage in Most Regions 

• Union Site Coverage 

• Unprecedented Responsiveness 

• Value Added Solutions to Save Your Budgets! 

• And Whatever We Can Imagine Together! 

“I cannot imagine a better group of leading industry professionals 

to have as partners. It is genuinely an honor to have the opportunity 

of working together each and every day and I would like to share 

that same pleasure and experience with you and your company as 

well...”

EFFLORESCENT DUSTING ELIMINATED 

Polished concrete floor eliminates dusting entirely, making 

for a much healthier work environment. 

RESISTANT TO STAINS 

Polished concrete floor system transforms a porous 

concrete floor into a tightened surface, dense enough to 

keep water, oil, and other contaminants from penetrating 

the surface. 

STRONGER MORE DURABLE SURFACE 

The polished concete process hardens what was once 

beneath that old deteriorated surface. 

INCREASED LIGHTING 

With a floor as reflective as a polished concrete floor, the 

increased lighting in your facility benefits everyone. 

SAFER & LESS SLIPPERY 

It may look like glass, but it has a higher friction co-efficient 

than ordinary concrete. 

NO MORE TIRE MARKS 

With a polished concrete floor system, ordinary cleaning 

removes tire marks immediately. 

REDUCTION IN TIRE WEAR 

Level joints and polished concrete make the entire surface 

smooth, allowing tires to last much longer. 

MUCH LOWER MAINTENANCE 

The surface is so tightly compacted that it actually repels 

oils and other substances, making cleaning much 

easier than with other floors. 

REDUCED DOWN-TIME DURING INSTALL 

Concrete polishing is a dry process and there is no delay in 

making the floor available for use immediately upon 

completion. 

COST-EFFECTIVE 

Polished concrete is not only less expensive to install than 

most floor covering materials, it is significantly less 

expensive to maintain - and never needs replacement. 

BEAUTY 

No other floor system can boast such beauty as a Polished 

Concrete floor system. 

NO WAXING OR STRIPPING 

Polished concrete floor system never needs it! 

LONGEST-LASTING SOLUTION POSSIBLE 

There is simply no comparison to other floor systems 

when it comes to how long a floor can last. 

GO GREEN | ECO FRIENDLY 

High in durability and low in environmental impact, concrete is the perfect flooring material for 

sustainable work places. As builders and business owners discover the benefits of green 

construction, without sacrificing aesthetics or going over budget, there are more retail, 

industrial, commercial and public spaces starting to use polished concrete flooring. Going green 

isn’t just good for the planet…it saves money too. 

Concrete floors, left exposed, help conserve resources by functioning as a foundation slab — 

when they are given a stain or polish, concrete flooring also has a decorative and aesthetic 

look. In other words, polished concrete floors offer the benefits of both form and function! 

DESIGN VERSATILITY 

Decorative techniques such as polishing, coloring, staining, and stenciling give you a wide 

variety of design choices, allowing you to create floors that look like more traditional materials, 

such as tile or slate, or a custom design that is completely unique. There are also more environmentally 

friendly options for products used to color, stain, and seal concrete. 

DURABILITY & RESOURCE CONSERVATION 

When properly installed and sealed, a decorative concrete floor should last a lifetime, and with 

proper maintenance, it will never need to be replaced. Few flooring materials can achieve this. 

Concrete floors also utilize sustainable materials. The main raw material for the cement in 

concrete is limestone; the most abundant mineral on earth. 

ENERGY EFFICIENCY 

Because of their thermal mass and ability to retain heat, concrete floors are ideal for passive 

solar designs. When spaces are built to take advantage of solar radiation entering through 

windows in the winter months, concrete floors will absorb the heat from the direct sunlight 

and release the stored heat as needed. It also increases ambient lighting by as much as 30%! 

ECONOMICAL 

An exposed concrete floor is almost always an economical alternative to other solutions that 

require an additional covering, such as hardwood flooring and tile. For new commercial 

projects with site-cast concrete floor slabs, leaving the concrete floors exposed can save a lot of 

money over the life of the building.

purpose of receiving the benefits that come with having their product 

included in specifications and that our Supplier has a reasonable expectation 

that we will honor that specification.

standard application of densified used in the concrete polishing 

system.

Using a concrete sealer prevents water from penetrating the material, 

reducing the risk of cracks and other types of water damage. Stains are 

also greatly reduced. Preventing staining and moisture can discourage the 

growth of mold that might use the concrete as a substrate.

Acid stain is not a paint or coating agent, rather, it’s a coloring process 

involving a chemical reaction on a cementitious material. A solution made 

with water, acid, and inorganic salts react with minerals already present in 

the concrete, and the result of this reaction is color.
