70 year old concrete floor, cut into 8 in. tiles and polished to a marble-like finish.

Polished concrete is an attractive alternative to marble and costs less than a wood floor or good carpet. The concrete polishing process is something that is best appreciated firsthand.

Vinyl composition tile damaged by liquid waste, was manually removed. Diamond grinders with 16 grit diamonds then removed the adhesive from the concrete.

A finer 30 grit diamond smoothed the floor back to the original concrete surface.

To achieve the mirror-like luster from a concrete floor, a heavy grinding machine, equipped with diamond abrasive grit, grinds and smoothes the concrete.

Before polishing, the concrete floor in this medical facility required a high level of preliminary preparation.

The same concrete floor after treating with a lithium sealer and polishing, creates a shinier, smoother, more slip resistant and easier maintained industrial floor.

Progressively finer diamonds and other abrasives smooth the surface resulting in a finished floor which looks and feels like polished stone.

The marble-like appearance of the polished floor at this army base helps reduce lighting costs by increasing the ambient lighting by up to 30%.

Simple and inexpensive cleaning maintenance is all that is required to keep the polished concrete floor in its original condition, thus eliminating recoating and other problems normally associated with concrete coating. For a PDF brochure, click here.

Dust, tire tracks, and stains are all common with a concrete floor.

Polishing the floor and adding an epoxy pedestrian aisle makes a huge difference in appearance and maintenance.

Concrete polishing also:

meets and exceeds ADA's slip coefficient standards
creates a more dense surface making it 40% more abrasion resistant
reduces lighting cost, by increasing ambient lighting up to 30%
inhibits oil, water and other substances from penetrating
eliminates dusting and fork lift tire marks
creates a low to no maintenance floor solution
