Cleaning and Polishing Concrete Floors

  What is Polished Concrete? Polished concrete is a multi-step process that transforms ordinary concrete floors into smooth, glossy surfaces with a marble-like finish.  Through mechanical grinding, honing, and polishing with progressively finer diamond abrasives, the concrete surface is refined to achieve varying levels of sheen and exposure of the aggregate within. Unlike coatings or topical sealers that sit on top of the concrete, polished concrete is a mechanical process that densifies and hardens the surface itself.  Chemical densifiers are applied during the concrete production process to fill the pores, making the concrete less permeable and more resistant to damage.  The result is a floor that's not only beautiful but incredibly durable and long-lasting. The polishing process typically involves grinding the concrete with diamond tooling in multiple passes, starting with coarse grits to remove surface imperfections and progressing to finer grits that create ...
