Polished Concrete

Polished Concrete is a cost effective method for decorative treatment of concrete flooring. The most common use for polished concrete is indoor concrete restoration. Polish concrete uses a special diamond tooling system and colour dyes that penetrate the surface of concrete as oppose to stains that are topical. The polished concrete process does not use sealers or waxes; instead the process requires the use of "densifier" that hardens the surface allowing the finished results to be a smooth glass like appearance.

Polished concrete is a sustainable flooring solution that is easy to maintain. The polishing process is much like wood finishing: to achieve a smooth, glossy surface the polishing process starts with grinding the surface multiple times at different “grits”, usually starting at 40 grit going up to 3000 grit. This process begins to create a very smooth surface and when completed also provides a high degree of sheen or as it’s known in the industry: (high) gloss reading. Best of all, polished concrete when done correctly has a high slip resistance factor for safety purposes.
