Concrete Polishing
Concrete Polishing
oncrete polishing is the process of grinding, densifying, and honing concrete to a smooth surface. Heaty-duty machines grind the existing concrete down to the desired grit level, which is usually based on how smooth and shiny you want your floors to be.
Many individuals who pick concrete polishing opt for a color, saw-cut pattern, or embedded aggregates and/or objects in their flooring. Additionally, you can control how reflective you want your flooring to be.
Polishing concrete starts with coarse diamond segments bonded into a metallic matrix. The first stage of rough grinding takes three to four steps to complete.
Next, the concrete is grinded with diamond abrasives that are embedded in a plastic or resin matrix. The grinding process starts with a low-grit diamond and progressively increases the grit to a smooth 800 to 3000-grit level.
High-gloss finishes require a lower grit level (no more than 1500). The experts at Pro Basins Coatings know when to switch to the next-finer grit. They can tell by observing the surface of the floor and how much material has been removed, further ensuring a quality job.
The concrete is also treated with a chemical densifier. The densifier hardens and seals the concrete from within, eliminating the need for a topical coating or sealer. Concrete floor surfaces, whether new or old and can now be grinded to a high-gloss finish that never needs waxing or coating.
The high-grit polished finish is ideal for high-traffic areas and has many benefits over other flooring options. Concrete flooring is very easy to maintain, making it ideal for numerous places. Consider concrete polishing for warehouses, retail stores, hotels, restaurants, office buildings, auto showrooms, and residential homes.
