Concrete Grinding & Polishing: Need to know

Things to consider before having you have your concrete grind and seal, or grind and polish. 

 

  • Are you removing tile, VCT, coating, or other flooring system, what is the condition of the substrate after other systems are removed.  Concrete floor can get ghosting from the previous surfaces, which are lines from the edges of the other tiles, etc.
  • Flatness of the concrete floor- the flatness of the floor can be checked by rolling a hard ball over the surface and if the ball rolls bumpy, the floor may need more grinding in order for it to become flat/smooth, which can give you a varied finish look.
  • Floor levelness- can be checked by rolling a ball and to see if it rolls toward a particular area or direction. Any type of drain can have contour,  creating another problem that you may want to consider.

Concrete Grind & Seal/Polish

Concrete Polishing

Concrete- Grind & Seal

Grind and seal is a term used for the system of grinding the concrete surface and then applying a clear protective sealer to the concrete floor. This process is less expensive than grind and polish system. The grind and seal process consist of grinding the concrete surface to remove impurities or scratches of the concrete, then a sealer is applied. The sealer applied will depend on the look and the durability you are looking for. 

Concrete Polishing

 Concrete polishing has more steps involved in the process to achieve the outcome. The finish is the look of the floor which consist of a cream finish, salt and pepper, or exposed aggregate look.

 Concrete Polishing floors can offer several advantages:


  • Can be designed to fit many budgets
  • Unlimited creative options
  • Requires little maintenance
  • Will last for decades
  • Resists moisture & stains when properly sealed
  • Pet friendly
  • Reduces allergens and mold spores
  • Can be heated with a radiant system
  • Free of VOC's (volatile organic compounds) 


Concrete Polishing


1. Determine the finish- this is the look you want to achieve, but this can vary depending on the flatness of the concrete floor.


2. Determine the gloss- 

  • Level 1     -  Flat  (no reflectivity)
  • Level 2    -  Satin (diffused reflection)
  • Level 3    -  Semi-Polished (objects being to be reflected)
  • Level 4    -  Highly Polished (Objects are reflected, mirror like)


3.  The process-  

         Determine the hardness

         Clean the floor

         Begin the grinding process

         Repairing chips, spalls, and cracks

         Cleaning & filling joints

         Continue the grinding process  (the finish will determine the extent of metal bond grinding)

         Apply densifier

         Begin the honing and polishing process

         Apply guard (sealer)

         

Concrete Floors

Concrete floors are incredibly hard and durable floors. You must also remember that concrete is a porous surface, so it needs to be cleaned and/or sealed to protect the surface so it can maintain its luster. You can add color to concrete floors and make a fashion statement, with dyes, or acid etching.  Concrete floors are low maintenance and are easy to care for, but you do need to do proper care thru dust mopping and damp mopping.  Polished concrete and regular concrete floors can be restored through the appropriate maintenance methods.
