Commercial Concrete Polishing
Concrete Floor Polishing
Concrete polishing is a simple, cost effective process that works with the uppermost layer of both old and new concrete floors to micro-buff worn, unattractive concrete floors into a final pristine finish, adding beauty and value to your facility. At less than half the cost of other flooring solutions, the process of concrete polishing mechanically and chemically seals the pores in the concrete, inhibiting penetration of oil, water, and other contaminants. In turn, concrete becomes harder, denser, dust-proof, and extremely simple to clean and maintain. Polished Floors are also stain and slip resistant, aesthetic and reflective, also making cleaning your concrete floors a breeze.
Polished concrete floors are ideal for commercial spaces that don’t require strict industry code requirements for their flooring. There are a range of finishes available that will offer varying degrees of polish, so you can choose how matte or glossy you would like the floor to be. This is often the most cost effective, long-term floor solution on the market to breathe life back into your concrete floors, and set them up for yet another life cycle of success. Repolishing should occur only every 6-9 years.

Concrete polishing should last up to 10 years. The shine may dissipate over time depending on the traffic intensity and cleaning frequency.
Imperfections in polished concrete can come from an array of possibilities. Number one, is poor installation or concrete finishing.
If the floor is older, excessive fatigue from traffic or chemicals that wear down the surface (also known as the near surface wear layer) might be a factor. One of the most important aspects of polishing concrete is proper steps are taken to ensure the surface is prepared, floor is densified properly, and client expectations are managed around proper maintenance.
Diamond Grinding is a multi-step buffing process whereby we grind the concrete surface starting with a coarse diamond/metal grit, and moving to a finer grind for a smooth finish. After the grinding process is complete, a special surface treatment is applied and polished into the concrete pores using another multi-step buffing process from coarse to fine diamond/resin polishing tools. This process of polishing and sealing, and buffing the concrete produces a natural polished concrete floor finish that can last with high-traffic for up to 10+ years.
Yes, polished concrete can be enhanced with stains or dyes to achieve various colours and designs.
