A concrete polishing system follows these basic steps performed by our certified applicators ensuring that every floor turns out just right.
The first step is to grind the floor with industrial strength diamonds. Grinding removes imperfections, marks and scratches and exposes bare concrete by removing the existing coating or mastic. Grinding can be light to heavy depending on the desired level of exposed aggregate. A new floor’s colored aggregate, recycled glass or other decorative material can be broadcast into the surface to be exposed during the grinding process.
The next step is to densify the floor. The densifier penetrates the concrete and chemically reacts to harden and densify the floor by filling in pores and creating a dense surface. Densification is key to the long-term benefits of polished concrete.
The final step is to polish the floor with progressively finer diamond grits. This polishing procedure is what produces the floor’s sheen.
