Polished concrete is a process that transforms ordinary concrete into a smooth, highly reflective, and durable surface. The process typically involves several stages, including:

• Grinding – The first step in the process is to remove any surface imperfections and rough spots on the concrete. This is done using a heavy-duty grinding machine equipped with diamond-impregnated abrasive disks.

• Honing – After the grinding step, the concrete is honed using progressively finer abrasives to smooth out any scratches and prepare the surface for polishing.

• Polishing – The final step involves using a polishing machine and diamond abrasives to create a high-gloss finish on the concrete. The number of polishing steps can vary, depending on the desired level of shine and reflectivity.

• Densification – To improve the durability and stain resistance of the surface, a chemical densifier is often applied after the polishing step.

Polished concrete is a sustainable flooring option, as it requires little maintenance, is durable and can last for decades with proper care. It is also eco-friendly as it utilizes existing concrete rather than producing new materials. Additionally, polished concrete can reflect light and improve indoor lighting, reducing the need for artificial lighting and reducing energy costs.
