Polished Concrete Contractors need an objective, numerical way to measure the surface appearance that would allow them to specify a minimum distinctness of image (DOI) value to define aesthetics in a numerical way. “There’s no point in specifying something if it can’t be measured,”
Having the ability to produce a polished floor that can be tested and shown to represent a specific value will be a huge advance in the polished concrete business. Not only does it give specifiers something to pin their expectations on, it also protects the contractor when the owner says, “This isn’t what I wanted.”
