Polished concrete floors are the latest trend in office spaces, retail spaces, manufacturers warehouses, airports, schools and event spaces. This is simply because they are easy to maintain, extremely cost effective, and have a beautiful mirror-like glossy finish to them that will outlast any other surface available on the market today.
There are a variety of options when choosing your polished concrete flooring, including the integral or penetrating stain color, the gloss level, and aggregate type. Our professionals will assist you in the processes used to reach the desired finish you request.
In simple terms, polishing concrete is similar to sanding wood. We utilize large industrial 1200 pound grinding machines that are equipped with a planetary system. This allows the grinder to hold a set (9) diamond-impregnated disks that are the size of a hockey puck. These pucks are impregnated with diamond fragments and categorized into grit ratings such as 100, 200, 400, etc. depending on how course or fine these pucks are will determine their overall grit rating.
Similar to sandpaper on wood, these disks are used to grind the concrete surface down to refinement and desired aggregate then brought back up in stages which are grinding, honing, and polishing until the desired level shine is achieved.

Answer: Yes, floors that will be constantly exposed to acids, saturated with oil exposed to continuous water, such as pool decks, driveways and walkways. There are better finish choices for these type of areas.
Answer: Yes, It offers LEED points by reusing existing building materials instead of creating by-products from manufacturing new ones. Polished concrete prevents waste, and is also extremely long lasting.
Answer: Rather than having a pitted surface that refracts light, the light refracts off the floor which is what causes the shine on the surface. Through the process of polishing, the floor is refined making the surface smoother with each pass. The result is that the concrete itself is reflecting the light.
Answer: The easiest system to maintain would have to be polished concrete. It also doesn't require any aggressive cleaners or brushes to lift dirt away. No waxing or stripping will be necessary. If polished concrete is going to be used in a public building, using very soft brushes, an auto scrubber can be used.
Answer: The polished concrete can cost you anywhere from a dollar a square foot or twenty dollars a square foot. Since it is not just a mass-manufactured product that you can just install, you have to go through a whole process of grinding and polishing the floor. It depends on how good of condition the floor already is, how elaborate any decorative options could be, also how open the floor plan is.
Answer: If the polished concrete has a high sheen it is not recommended to be used outdoors, although, a matte (up to 100 grit) or even low sheen (400 grit) could be used outdoors. Engraved techniques, saw cuts, and exposed aggregate are decorative concrete applications that are ideal for outdoor as well as indoor.
Answer: Simply stated all coatings wear and will fail over time. Polished concrete has no surface coating to wear away. It offers minimal maintenance over its life-span. In areas with heavy repeated traffic, it will begin to show rings of wear that can be easily rejuvenated to its original sheen with minimal future interruption and down time.
Answer: It may appear that the floors are slippery, but this is only because of the shiny visual of the floor. It has been tested and it has shown that polished concrete usually either meets or exceeds OSHA standards (.50) for slip resistance on floor surfaces.
