Concrete Grind, Polish and Seal



You may wonder what this service does. We concrete grind, polish and
seal your concrete whether new or existing. By resurfacing your
concrete, it exposes the character of aggregate, or stone, and that
creates a featured floor or wall.<br>
<br>
There are many variations to this process and you may have heard of
names such as ‘Polished Concrete Floor,’ ‘Terrazzo finish,’ or simply
concrete grinding. We take it a step further and seal the concrete to
protect the surface. There is a range of seal finish options for our
customers to choose from, and they range from a natural finish all the
way to a gloss coating.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>
Grinding is the process that will resurface the face of the concrete in
order to smooth out uneven high points and will also expose the
aggregate to the desired finish. We achieve the ‘Salt and Pepper
finish’ by not exposing too much of the aggregate as it smoothes and
lightly cuts into the top cement layer. By doing this we keep the
‘concrete’ look and the results show more cross-sections of the
aggregate.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>
Polishing does exactly that; and is the process of changing the rough
surface of the concrete to the desired smooth level. We use diamond
surfacing equipment to achieve the sheen surface that results in the
almost mirror finish and gives us the desired effect.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>
Our customers must select the level of grinding, or depth of cut, and
we help them determine the grade of polish or sheen. Our technicians
are cautious while <a

and polishing</a> and always use protective masking used to cover
the surrounding walls or other flooring until they finish the job. <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>
There is still one more step to take when you want the deluxe mirror
finish, and the range of finishes vary widely depending on your
concrete and the finish you desire. It is very important that you
understand that every slab of concrete is different, and it depends on
the ingredients used in the original concrete mix. Also important is
the way the concrete was installed, placed, and even the humidity and
temperature on that very day.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>
The one question customers always ask is, “How long will it last?” You
can expect a long life as long as the concrete has been cared for
correctly. It must be sealed initially, and then it may require
resealing periodically. Your technician can instruct you on the best
way to care for your surface. <br>
