Polishing Concrete

Polished concrete is concrete that has been treated with a chemical densifier while ground with progressively finer grinding tools. The grinding process involves the use of progressively finer diamond grinding grits on cup wheels and diamond polishing pads.

We use heavy duty rotary type buffing machine, progressively using finer and finer grit discs to get the desired smoothness and shine.

First, we use a coarse diamond disc pad, which are coarse enough to remove minor blemishes such as pits, stains or light coatings from the floor. This prepares the floor for a final smoothing. Depending on the original condition of the concrete, this is generally a 3 step process. We continue to the next step using a finer grit diamond disc pad, again using heavy duty rotary type buffing machine.

Our technicians use progressively finer grits of polishing disks in a process called lapping. An extremely high shine polish, we will use a final grit of 1500, or finer; until the concrete floor has the required shine. The decision of the homeowner on the type of shine will determine the progression of the grit of the discs used.

From experience, our technicians know when to switch to the next finer grit by the look of the surface and the amount being removed. Our technicians will also polish with a concrete densifier which will impregnating hardeners, while grinding, to bring the best shine out of your concrete.
