Our Polished Concrete Services
- Concrete polishing – concrete is mechanically ground, polished & hardened with a densifier product.
- Concrete grinding – prepares concrete floor for installation of any other flooring material by leveling the floor & removing any existing surface coatings such as mortar, grout, thinset, glue, paint & epoxy.
- Concrete design – coloring concrete with stains & dyes, adding decorative etching & cuts on the surface.
- Grind & seal – a less expensive & popular method of polishing concrete. It involves less mechanical grinding & the polish is achieved by applying a topical sealer. It is not permanent like mechanically polished concrete & requires periodic resealing.
- Maintenance buffing – occasional (like semi annually) buffing with a hair pad to maximize the shine of polished concrete.
- Epoxy coatings (aka concrete overlays & micro toppings) – Highly durable coatings that provide a decrrative finish with reinforced strength can be applied to level and cracked concrete slabs. Color, pattern and imprint options can include borders, stencils and logos, making them an excellent alternative to polished concrete when the floor sustains too much wear or damage. That said, nearly any old or new concrete floor is still eligible for polishing.

Polished Concrete Floor Finishes & Design Options

1. Polish GRADE – the aggregate (rock) exposure level: Depending on how heavily the surface is ground varying degrees of aggregate can be exposed, each level having it’s own design characteristics.
GRADE 1 (CREAM) – The most polular grade for commercial & industrial, requires the least amount of grinding & results in a creamy look by only exposing fine sand particles at the surface.
GRADE 2 (FINE/SALT & PEPPER) – concrete is ground 1/16″ exposing sand & fine rock particles resulting in a salt & pepper look.
GRADE 3 (MEDIUM) – concrete is ground 1/8″ exposing small to mid size aggregate.
GRADE 4 (LARGE) – concrete is ground 1/4″ exposing large aggregate, comparable to the look of terrazo.


3. Finish – the sheen level: choose how shiny & reflective the surface is. This depends on how many times the surfaced is polished with progressively finer diamond grit.
CLASS 1 – (FLAT/MATTE) 100 grit finish, little to no reflectivity, minimum 4 abrasive passes
CLASS 2 – (SATIN) 200-400 grit finish, low gloss & reflectivity, minimum 5 abrasive passes
CLASS 3 – (SEMI GLOSS) 800 grit finish, medium gloss & reflectivity, minimum 6 abrasive passes
CLASS 4 – (HIGH GLOSS) 1500 grit finish, high gloss & mirror like reflectivity, minimum 7 abrasive passes

Benefits of Polished Concrete
- Many design options (grade level, finish level, colors, patterns, engraving)
- Can replicate stone & marble at a lower cost
- Cost effective:
- Great value & affordability-can cost less up front & to maintain than other types of flooring
- Cost efficient & sustainable-makes use of existing floor material without adding additional materials
- Lower cost over life of floor compared to other types of flooring
- A great alternative to all types of flooring
- Highly reflective, can brighten the area & reduce lighting requirements
- Can be completed with less downtime than other types of flooring, space can be occupied immediately after work is complete
- Low Maintenance:
- Never needs replacing
- Never needs waxing (sealers or other types of coatings are optional)
- Only required maintenance is a weekly sweep & damp wiping, semi annual hair pad buffing to maximize shine (if floor is regularly exposed to harsh chemicals you may apply stain guard every 6-12 months)
- A seamless finish that won’t hide dust, dirt, & allergens
- Hypoallergenic, resists mold, mildew & bacteria
- Highly Durable:
- Lasts a lifetime
- Stands up to high foot traffic, heavy equipment, tire wear, high impacts & loads
- Extreme abrasion resistance
- Repels moisture & resists stains from water, oil & chemicals
- Efficient & Eco Friendly:
- No toxic emissions
- Non-slip, not slippier than normal concrete when kept clean and dry. Can be less slippery than tile or marble. Anti slip additives can be added during routine cleaning to add additional traction if desired.
- Same acoustic qualities as wood, stone and tile
