POLISHED CONCRETE
Polished concrete is an innovative, economical and environmentally friendly process of mechanically grinding and polishing concrete utilizing industrial diamonds & impregnating hardeners. It is the perfect application for; commercial & business facilities, industrial plants, warehouses, retail locations, showrooms, schools, museums, and government buildings.
AGGREGATE LEVELS
CREAM
FINISH
Mainly paste, with fine sands randomly exposed.
SALT & PEPPER
FINISH
Mainly fine sands up 1/8″ aggregate, with paste and large aggregate randomly exposed.
MEDIUM AGGREGATE
EXPOSURE
Mainly 1/8″ to 1/4″ aggregate, with paste and large aggregate randomly exposed.
LARGE
AGGREGATE
Mainly 1/4″ to 3/8″+ aggregate, with paste and fines in between.
SHEEN LEVELS
MATTE FINISH
A matte sheen absorbs light and enhances the natural tones of the existing concrete.
Grit Level: 100
Gloss Meter: 20
LOW SHEEN
Gives a sleek look, similar to a matte finish, but with a slight shine that provides some light reflection.
Grit Level: 400
Gloss Meter: 20 – 35
HIGH SHEEN
A high level of light reflectivity makes this our most popular flooring service. Color will reflect off of surrounding objects.
Grit Level: 800
Gloss Meter: 35 – 50
HIGH GLOSS
Uniform, glossy appearance will reflect the lighting in the facility, and will mirror the colors from the objects surrounding it.
Grit Level: 3000
Gloss Meter: 50(+)

BENEFITS OF POLISHED CONCRETE
IMPROVES SAFETY
ELIMINATES DUSTING: Reduces hazardous airborne silica which can damage equipment and cause eyes, nose, throat, and upper respiratory irritation.
SLIP RESISTANT: Our systems meet or exceed OSHA and ADA standards for slip resistance.
REDUCES CLEANING & MAINTENANCE COSTS
DENSIFICATION: Increases durability and reduces dusting and staining by transforming porous concrete into a dense surface.
INCREASED STRENGTH: Old, deteriorating, or weak concrete is strengthened, and its impact and abrasion resistance is increased.
ELIMINATION OF TIRE MARKS: Lack of surface resins reduces tire marks caused by fork trucks, vehicles and industrial type hoppers and parts baskets reducing cleaning.
NO STRIPING OR WAXING: A polished concrete floor system eliminates the need to wax or strip the floor allowing you the ability to reduce maintenance labor and material.
SUSTAINABILITY
INTRINSICALLY GREEN: Polished concrete aligns with the USGBC rating system giving you the ability to earn LEED certification for your project while protecting our planet.
