How We Polish Concrete
Here are the typical steps employed when polishing concrete:
- Grinding – A strong grind of the present concrete prevents spots and guarantees the floor sealers attach permanently. We use high quality industrial vacuum machines to grab the dust produced during the grind.
- Leveling – Areas with faults, deterioration, or cracks are refloated to the same level as the rest of the concrete. This way the polish is one hundred percent solid and even.
- Staining – The concrete floor is infused, not just coated, with a color stain of your choice and any requested patterns are also added at this step. Stains can be heavy, obscuring the concrete grain, or light, enabling patterns in the concrete to show through like polished wood.
- Clear protective coat – Floor sealants applied above the polished floor fill the pores and bring out the fabulous gloss. These clear sealers bond to the smooth concrete with terrific strength, creating a floor that is very low maintenance. For environments where heavy traffic is common, we implement a thicker coat of protective sealers to compensate.
Concrete polishing thereby provides the optimal in decorative durability, for both business and home, while also offering chemical and scratch resistance. This method is easily the best for businesses wanting a beautiful, stronger, and low-maintenance floor surface in their business or industrial building, or for homeowners wanting a decorative floor that’s simply maintained.
