What is Polished Concrete?
Polished concrete is a multi-step process that transforms ordinary concrete into a smooth, glossy, and highly durable floor surface. Using specialized diamond-grinding equipment, we mechanically grind, hone, and polish the concrete to your desired level of sheen—from a subtle matte finish to a high-gloss mirror-like surface.
Unlike coatings or overlays, polished concrete works with your existing slab, making it an eco-friendly and cost-effective flooring solution. The process densifies the concrete, making it harder, more resistant to wear, and easier to maintain than untreated concrete.
Polished concrete has become increasingly popular in commercial spaces, retail stores, restaurants, warehouses, and modern residential homes due to its durability, low maintenance, and contemporary aesthetic appeal.
Benefits of Polished Concrete
Polished Concrete Finish Levels
Choose from four distinct finish levels to match your aesthetic preferences and functional requirements.
Level 1 - Flat Finish
Ground and honed finish with minimal sheen. Ideal for industrial warehouses and areas where slip resistance is critical.
Level 2 - Satin Finish
Moderate gloss with a smooth, refined appearance. Perfect for retail spaces, showrooms, and commercial environments.
Level 3 - Semi-Gloss
Higher sheen with excellent light reflectivity. Popular for modern offices, restaurants, and upscale retail spaces.
Level 4 - High Gloss
Mirror-like finish with maximum reflectivity. Creates stunning visual impact in luxury showrooms, hotels, and high-end residential spaces.

Our Polishing Process
Surface Preparation
We assess the concrete condition, repair any cracks or damage, and remove existing coatings or contaminants to ensure optimal results.
Coarse Grinding
Using diamond-embedded grinding discs, we remove surface imperfections and open the concrete pores. This step determines the aggregate exposure level.
Densification
We apply a chemical hardener that penetrates the concrete, filling pores and increasing surface density. This makes the floor more durable and stain-resistant.
Fine Grinding & Honing
Progressive grinding with finer diamond grits smooths the surface and begins to develop the desired sheen level.
Polishing & Sealing
Final polishing with ultra-fine diamond pads creates the desired gloss level. We apply a protective sealer to enhance stain resistance and ease of maintenance.
