What is Concrete Polishing?

Concrete polishing is a flooring service that smooths and strengthens your existing concrete. Instead of applying an epoxy coating, we grind down the surface of your concrete, densify it, and seal it. Here’s how it works:

Preparation

Our first step is to prep your concrete by stripping it of any existing coatings or adhesives. Then we fill in any cracks or chips in the concrete’s surface to create a solid base.

Grinding

Next, we use grinders to smooth out your concrete’s surface and remove any imperfections. We use progressively finer diamond grits to make your concrete floor as smooth and even as possible.

Densifying

Once we’ve smoothed the surface, we apply a densifier to harden your concrete. This chemical hardener seeps into your concrete and strengthens each slab.

Fine Grinding & Sealing

Finally, we do one last round of fine grinding, apply a sealer, and buff the sealer into your concrete. The final result is a sleeker and more durable concrete floor.

The Benefits of Polishing Your Concrete Floors

Polished concrete has a lot of the same benefits as epoxy coatings. Here’s why our customers choose polished concrete for their homes and businesses in Kansas City:

Durable

Polished concrete is tough. It can handle heavy equipment without chipping or peeling, which makes it ideal for warehouses and other industrial settings.

Low Maintenance

Cleaning is easy and it doesn’t need to be waxed or coated every year. All it needs is regular sweeping and an occasional mopping.

Modern Look

Polished concrete has a shiny finish that gives your building a clean look. You can also customize your polished concrete by adding stains and patterns.

Cost Effective

In general, polishing your concrete is cheaper than installing epoxy coating. It’s also more affordable long-term, since you won’t ever need to recoat your floors like you do with epoxy.

Sustainable

Polishing is more sustainable than other concrete flooring solutions since it doesn’t involve installing any new materials. Having your concrete polished will also make it reflect more light than before.

Where Polished Concrete Shines

Homes

Polished concrete is a smart and stylish option for residential basements and garages. Polished, uncoated concrete also works well with radiant heating, since concrete naturally stores and conducts heat.

Businesses

Offices, stores, hotels, and restaurants all use polished concrete because it looks professional and is easy to clean. Its bright and shiny surface is inviting.

Industrial Facilities

Polished concrete works well in warehouses and manufacturing plants because it can handle forklifts and other heavy equipment. It’s easy to clean and can take heavy impacts.

Public Buildings

Schools, hospitals, museums, and event centers can all use polished concrete. It’s affordable low-maintenance.

Customization Options for Polished Concrete



Gloss Levels

We can give your concrete a soft matte finish, a shiny, high-gloss finish, or anything in-between. The finer we grind, the shinier it makes your concrete.



Color Stains & Dyes

Choose from a variety of stains and dyes to add warmth and depth. This is a great opportunity for businesses to add their brand’s colors to their floors.



Aggregate Exposure

You can also choose how much of your concrete’s natural stone (aggregate) you want exposed. Light grinding keeps your surface looking uniform, while a deeper grind will let you see more of your concrete’s natural texture.



Saw Cuts & Patterns

Want to give your floor a stylish look? We can also add decorative cuts to create geometric designs on your concrete floor’s surface.



Logos & Branding

We can also embed logos and designs into commercial floors before polishing to help you show off your brand.

Polished Concrete vs. Other Flooring Solutions

Tile

Tiles look great, but their grout lines collect dirt and need to be scrubbed. Tiles can also crack when heavy objects are dropped on them. Polished concrete is one solid surface. There aren’t any nooks and crannies to clean and it’s much more durable than tile.

Hardwood

Wood flooring is beautiful and it adds warmth to a space, but it also scratches and is weak to water damage. It’ll show wear quickly if it’s installed in a busy area. Polished concrete doesn’t scratch and water won’t hurt it.

Epoxy Coatings

Epoxy flooring is an excellent option to put over concrete, but it peels and chips over time. Even the best epoxy coatings will eventually need recoating. Polishing your concrete doesn’t involve any coatings that will wear away over time.

Vinyl or Laminate

Vinyl and laminate offer a clean look, but they can be dented and torn. They’re not as durable as other flooring materials, so they’ll need replaced sooner. Polished concrete, on the other hand, lasts for decades.
