Types Of Concrete Polishing

Depending on the level of gloss and finish attained, there are many forms of concrete polishing:

• Grind and Seal: To increase longevity and provide a glossy appearance, this technique is perfect. It involves grinding the concrete surface to the appropriate degree of smoothness and then adding a topical sealer.


• Partial Polish: Using this technique, only a portion of the concrete surface is polished to a high sheen. It leaves other areas matte or semi-glossy.


• Complete Polish: Every inch of the concrete is high-gloss polished; giving the surface a slick, shiny appearance similar to polished stone.


• Stained Polished Concrete: Staining chemicals can be added to the concrete either before or after polishing. This gives the surface colour and depth, as well as unique ornamental effects.


• Aggregate Exposure: This technique involves grinding the concrete surface to expose the underlying aggregate; resulting in a textured and visually appealing finish.

Concrete Polishing Techniques, Used By Professionals

Experts employ many methods of concrete polishing to get the best outcomes:

• Grinding: The first stage of grinding smooths out the concrete's surface flaws.


• Honing: The surface is further smoothed by honing again using ever-finer diamond abrasives.


• Polishing: A glossy appearance is achieved by final polishing with fine-grit abrasives.


• Densification: Using a concrete densifier improves the surface's strength and stain and wear resistance.


• Sealing: Applying a sealant to the polished surface may improve the concrete's look and offer an additional layer of protection.
