Overview

Polished concrete is one of the most durable, low-maintenance flooring options available.

Polishing concrete involves diamond grinding machinery using various grit diamonds to ultimately close the pore space of the concrete, producing a natural shine.

A chemical densifier is used to increase the hardness of the concrete while dyes can be applied to add transparent color to the concrete.

Polished concrete does not make use of topical sealers and will not require a waxing regimen.

Polished concrete floors are scratch and skid resistant, environmentally friendly and very low-maintenance.
