Concrete Polishing for New and Existing Floors
New Construction Projects
When working on new floors, we start polishing after the concrete has properly cured. This means waiting about 28 days to make sure the surface is strong enough.
We prepare the floor by grinding it to remove any imperfections and to create a smooth base. This process improves the concrete’s strength and makes it easier to clean later.
After the grinding, we polish the surface in stages, using finer grits each time. This produces a shiny, hard floor that resists stains and wear. For new projects, polishing also seals the floor, which helps protect it from dust and moisture.
Renovation and Restoration
For existing floors, our first step is a thorough inspection. We look for cracks, stains, or damage that might need repairs before polishing. We clean the floor deeply to remove any dirt, grease, or old coatings. This is important because polishing won’t work well on dirty or damaged surfaces.
Next, we grind and polish the floor similarly to new concrete. We may also apply densifiers or sealers to restore strength and shine. This process can bring old or worn floors back to life, improving their look and durability.
Polishing existing floors can save you money by avoiding full replacement, while also giving you a longer-lasting surface.
Our Concrete Polishing Techniques
We focus on methods that improve durability, look, and moisture control. Our process is tailored to your needs and the type of surface you have. We choose the right polishing approach and tools to get the best results.
Dry vs. Wet Polishing Methods
We use two main methods: dry and wet polishing. With dry polishing, no water is involved. This method is fast and helps you avoid mess. It creates a clean, shiny surface and lets us finish jobs in places that don't allow water.
Wet polishing uses water to cool the grinding tools and reduce dust. It’s effective for deep polishing and creates a smooth surface. This method is often used when dust control is a priority, especially indoors. Both methods have benefits. We decide which to use based on your floor’s condition, location, and how you plan to use the space. This makes sure the finish lasts and looks good.
Equipment and Technology Used
We rely on advanced machines like diamond grinding pads that come in different grits for rough to fine polishing. These pads adjust to your floor’s hardness and help create a smooth finish. Our equipment includes:
- High-speed grinders for even polishing
- Dust collection systems to keep your area clean
- Moisture control tools to protect the floor
Using this technology, we ensure consistent results with a professional look. Our tools also help us work efficiently, saving you time and money while reducing disruptions.
