Polished Concrete Floors

What Is Mechanically Polished Concrete?
Mechanically polished concrete refers to a polished concrete floor that has undergone a series of grinding, chemical treatment and polishing processes to create the most durable, low maintenance floor money can buy.

Unlike a “Grind and Seal” which creates a shiny effect on the concrete from clear coatings applied to the surface, mechanically polished concrete has no topical coating and it is the concrete itself which shines.

This makes the mechanical polish the best long term solution for indoor areas as there is no coating on the surface of the floor that needs to be replaced over time.

To polish a concrete floor, large industrial sized grinders and polishers are brought to site to carry out the process that typically involves removing the first 1-5mm of cement from the surface of the slab – revealing the aggregate inside – before chemically hardening it, smoothing it out, sealing it and carrying out up 7 levels of polishing processes to achieve the desired level of gloss.
