Polished Concrete & Grinding

Grinding, densifying and polishing existing concrete into a durable architectural floor — no coating to wear through, because the concrete is the finish.

Polished Concrete & Grinding03 · Flooring
Conditions we address
  • Dull, stained or uneven existing slabs
  • Old adhesive, paint or coating to remove
  • Retail and lobby floors that need a low-maintenance finish
  • Warehouse floors with dusting or wear lanes
  • Residential interiors wanting an exposed-concrete look
Systems

The finish is chosen before the first pass.

Grinding

Coarse metal-bond diamonds level the slab and expose cream, salt-and-pepper or full aggregate depending on the look wanted.

Densifier

A lithium or sodium silicate hardener that reacts with the concrete to increase surface density and abrasion resistance.

Progressive polish and guard

Resin-bond steps to a matte, satin or high-gloss sheen, then a penetrating guard against staining.

How the work proceeds
  1. 01
    Assess the slab

    Hardness, flatness, existing coatings and cracks decide the grinding plan and the achievable finish.

  2. 02
    Grind and repair

    Coarse grinding to the target exposure; cracks and joints filled to match.

  3. 03
    Densify

    Hardener applied and allowed to react before the polishing steps begin.

  4. 04
    Polish and protect

    Progressive polishing to the chosen sheen, finished with a stain guard.

Where it applies

Retail, lobbies, warehouses, showrooms, residential interiors.

Questions
Does concrete need to be ground before applying a coating?

Proper surface preparation — typically mechanical grinding — is what allows a coating to bond. Skipping it is the most common reason coatings fail early.

What is the difference between epoxy and polyaspartic coatings?

Both are seamless coating systems. Polyaspartic generally cures faster and offers strong UV stability; epoxy offers a well-established build and bond. They are often combined within one floor system.
