Unless you’re familiar with the process of concrete polishing, you might fall into one of two camps: those who aren’t sure what it is, or those who don’t have a firm grasp on the real value that it offers.

Having the concrete in your industrial or commercial facility polished is far more than just a facelift for your property, although that never hurts either. It actually is an exercise in property maintenance, floor protection, preservation and even safety.

Let’s take a look at the process first to better understand the benefits.

What Is the Process of Concrete Floor Polishing?

• Cleaning - We want nothing to get in the way! Our goal is to leave you with a floor that looks better, and works harder, than ever before
• Repair - All cracks are filled with an epoxy crack-filler
• Grind - Using a variety of grits, we use our diamond grinders to prepare the surface
• Add a concrete densifier - We do this between each pass of the grinder, hardening the concrete even more
• Custom luster - Depending on your specific needs, we polish with an 800, 1500, or 3000 grit for either a low, medium, or high luster

This might all sound well and good, but it doesn’t answer the ultimate question: why polish your concrete? What are the benefits? Here are a few to consider:

• Durability - Because there is no actual coating on the polished concrete, and we have simply fortified the surface itself, there is nothing that can fail or break down
• Easy to clean - The surface is no longer porous, meaning that after being polished your concrete is much more sanitary, especially because it doesn’t contain the cracks and crevices that can hide bacteria
• Traction - Adding to workplace safety!
• Attractive - There is no denying that the mirror-like surface of the floor is attractive and professional

From floor to shining floor, this process offers real, concrete (see what we did there?) benefits for your property.
