Concrete Polishing
Mechanically grind and densify your existing concrete slab to a polished, hard-wearing finish with no coatings to peel and minimal ongoing maintenance.
If your existing concrete slab is in reasonable structural condition, concrete polishing transforms it into a hard-wearing, low-maintenance floor without adding coatings or overlays that can peel or delaminate.
The process uses progressively finer diamond tooling across multiple grinding passes, from coarse cutting to fine honing, followed by a lithium silicate densifier that chemically hardens the concrete and reduces porosity by up to 45%. You choose the level of aggregate exposure: cream finish retains the slab's natural colour, salt-and-pepper reveals fine aggregate, and full exposure shows the stone within.
Gloss levels range from matte honed to high-sheen reflective, and stain guards provide additional protection in food and beverage environments. Surface hardness increases over time as the densifier continues to cure under traffic.
Polished concrete suits retail floors, warehouses, showrooms, commercial offices, and residential living areas where you want a durable floor that improves with age rather than deteriorating.

View SolutionFrequently Asked Questions
Can any concrete slab be polished?
Most structurally sound concrete slabs can be polished. The slab needs to be free of significant cracking or structural defects. Minor cracks can be stitched and repaired as part of the preparation process. Your installer will assess the slab condition and advise on suitability.
What level of sheen can be achieved?
Polished concrete can be finished anywhere from a matte honed look to a high-sheen reflective surface. The level of sheen depends on how many grinding passes are completed and how fine the final diamond tooling is. Most commercial installations choose a satin or medium-gloss finish.
How long does concrete polishing take?
A typical commercial space can be completed in 3 to 7 days depending on size, condition of the slab, and the level of finish specified. The floor is usable immediately after the final pass, with no curing time required.
Does polished concrete stain?
The lithium silicate densifier significantly reduces the porosity of the concrete, making it resistant to most common stains. For food and beverage environments, an additional stain guard can be applied for extra protection. Spills should still be cleaned up promptly.
What maintenance does polished concrete need?
Polished concrete requires very little maintenance. Regular dust mopping removes loose debris, and periodic damp mopping with a neutral pH cleaner keeps the surface in good condition. No waxing, stripping, or recoating is needed.
