The Product: Concrete Polishing

Concrete polishing is a sophisticated flooring solution that transforms plain, dull concrete into a beautiful finish customised to your preferred gloss level. This process involves several steps, including grinding, honing, and polishing, which not only enhances the appearance but also increases the durability of the surface.

The concrete polishing process typically includes:

  • 1

    Initial Grinding: Using heavy-duty diamond abrasives, the surface is ground down to the desired stone exposure (nil, minimum or full stone exposure).

  • 2

    Honing: Progressing to finer grits as well as filling holes and cracks, the surface is transformed into to a smooth finish, preparing it for sealing or further mechanical polishing.

  • 3

    Polishing: Finally, the concrete is polished with diamond impregnated polishing resins to the desired gloss level, resulting in a reflective surface that enhances the overall look of the space.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How long does the concrete polishing process take? The time required depends on the size and condition of the area, but most residential projects can be completed within 1-2 days for small areas or 3-5 days for a complete home flooring transformation.
  2. Is polished concrete slippery? When treated properly, polished concrete provides good traction, though it can become slippery when wet. Anti-slip treatments are available for added safety.
  3. Can polished concrete be used outdoors? Yes, polished concrete can be effectively used outdoors. However, it’s crucial to select appropriate finishes and sealants to withstand weather conditions.
  4. How can I keep my floors clean? We recommend regular cleaning by using a dust mop to remove dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, a damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner works best.
