L & M Construction Chemicals

For over 40 years, L&M has been known for innovative and high-quality concrete treatments, polymer-modified concrete repair systems, and high-performance non-shrink grouts. We are equally comfortable on large or small projects, as our products are designed to perform to the expectations of the project.

Family owned, personal service

L&M has maintained its family ownership since its beginning. Started in 1961 by Larry Schwietz, a man who had a talent for solving industry problems with innovative solutions, L&M continues its tradition into its second generation, with son Greg now in control. His "in the trenches" training has prepared him for another generation of growth. And we plan to do it, one customer at a time, one job at a time. Each of your projects is important to us.


New concrete technology for you

L&M is committed to serving the concrete construction industry and its members. Constant innovation in many product areas has placed L&M ahead of many of its competitors in the mind of its customers over the years. We continue to promise to supply to you, our customers, nothing but the finest, most consistent quality products possible, while carefully adding new solutions to creatively solve your current and future problems.

Growth in worldwide availability

We have seen over the past 10 years a dramatic increase in L&M product availability in the United States, the Far East and Latin America. Strategically placed manufacturing facilities throughout the US and a nationwide offering of L&M products through a network of independent, stocking distributors that ensures prompt, reliable delivery to your project site.


Featured Products, Polished Concrete – FGS PermaShine
  • Hardened Polished Concrete: The FGS PermaShine Way
  • Makes old floors look better than new
  • Dramatic reduction in floor maintenance costs
  • Odorless, No Factory shut down required
  • Rejuvenated old, worn, and pitted floors
  • Saves money over waxes and thin film coatings
  • Adds many years of life to an old floor
  • Green products and process
  • Contributes to LEED certification criteria

Bottom Line:
FGS/PermaShine delivers an incredibly glossy, smooth, easy to clean, dust-free concrete floor that resists wear and marking for an aesthetically pleasing, long term finish. Unlike thin film coatings, FGS/PermaShine floors actually get better looking with use over time. Not the least of the advantages in time and cost is the fact that this process usually requires no "off-limits" shut-down of the facility. The installed cost of an FGS/PermaShine floor is comparable to a good thin-film coating project. But when you compare the minimal required maintenance, you'll find the 30-year life cycle cost savings over any other floor to be significant.

A final thought...
The question really comes down to what you expect out of your floor, and how much you're willing to spend short-term and long-term to protect it. FGS/PermaShine is challenging traditional floor finishes, and a serious shakeout is in the making. Only time will tell who's going to end up winning the race for the best floor.
