Concrete Floor Polishing & Finishing

01
Solid and Polished, Just Like Our Work

Polished concrete floors are ideal for commercial spaces that don’t require strict industry code requirements for their flooring. 

This sets them up for yet another life cycle of success. Repolishing should occur only every 6-9 years.

Why Your Spaces Need Our Solutions

Concrete polishing is a simple, cost effective process that works with the uppermost layer of both old and new concrete floors to micro-buff worn, unattractive concrete floors into a final pristine finish, adding beauty and value to your facility. At less than half the cost of other flooring solutions, the process of concrete polishing mechanically and chemically seals the pores in the concrete, inhibiting penetration of oil, water, and other contaminants.

The AppliedeX Advantage

Choosing Polishing Solutions

1

Assess & Define Performance Needs

We start by evaluating the concrete’s condition, including hardness, surface defects, contaminants, and how much grinding will be required to achieve a clean, uniform base. We also determine the floor’s performance requirements, like expected traffic, durability needs, and environmental constraints—which set which polishing solutions are viable.

2

Mechanical Process & Chemistry

We choose the appropriate grinding sequence, diamond tooling, and densifier chemistry to ensure the surface becomes strong, refined, and ready to take a polish. This step ensures the mechanical and chemical components work together,

3

Polish Selection

We choose the topical or integrated polishing solution that delivers the desired sheen—matte, satin, or high‑gloss—while fitting the maintenance level the space can realistically support. Water‑based options suit low‑odor, interior environments with moderate gloss goals, while solvent‑based or high‑build mechanical finishes are chosen when maximum clarity and long‑term wear are priorities.

Yes! Polished Concrete is the eco-friendliest flooring option. Its created from natural rock and water. Reduces carbon footprint. The durability of Polished Concrete means it lasts longer than most products and results in less waste overall which is why its sought after for green-building requirements. Its reflective surface saves on energy costs and is compliant with all LEED standards.

If treated properly, polished concrete floors require very low-maintenance option. The cost of maintenance for Polished Concrete is also very low. Regular sweeping and regular cleaning with PH neutral cleaner is recommended. The cleaner the floor is kept the longer the finish will last. If the surface gets a lot of traffic or the slab is soft, you may occasionally want to complete the last 2 steps of polishing to re-create the shine. Always clean spills quickly.

Imperfections in polished concrete can come from an array of possibilities. Number one, is poor installation or concrete finishing.

If the floor is older, excessive fatigue from traffic or chemicals that wear down the surface (also known as the near surface wear layer) might be a factor. One of the most important aspects of polishing concrete is proper steps are taken to ensure the surface is prepared, floor is densified properly, and client expectations are managed around proper maintenance.

Diamond Grinding is a multi-step buffing process whereby we grind the concrete surface starting with a coarse diamond/metal grit, and moving to a finer grind for a smooth finish. After the grinding process is complete, a special surface treatment is applied and polished into the concrete pores using another multi-step buffing process from coarse to fine diamond/resin polishing tools. This process of polishing and sealing, and buffing the concrete produces a natural polished concrete floor finish that can last with high-traffic for up to 10+ years.
