Polished Concrete

Polished concrete is achieved through a meticulous multi-step process that begins with mechanically grinding and honing the surface of the concrete. Following this, bonded abrasives are used to polish and refine the floor’s surface, allowing for an even cut that brings out the desired level of gloss. The outcome is a polished concrete floor that boasts a sleek, satin-like finish, enhancing both the aesthetic and functional qualities of the space.

Yes, we can enhance the color of your concrete during the polishing process through staining or dyeing. At Advanced Surface Solutions, we prefer the use of dye, which is specially formulated with extremely fine color molecules that effectively penetrate the surface and endure the polishing process. With access to over 20 vibrant dye colors, we can create a stunning polished concrete floor tailored to your vision.

In an exposed aggregate polished concrete floor, the concrete surface undergoes extensive grinding, removing enough material to reveal the prominent stones embedded within the slab. This honing process creates a sleek matte finish on the concrete. When pouring fresh concrete, you have the option to incorporate specific aggregates to enhance its appearance. Among the most sought-after decorative aggregates are granite and marble chips, yet we also have the capability to source innovative materials like recycled glass chips for a unique touch.

While sealing polished concrete is not a requirement it is strongly encouraged as it provides crucial defense against moisture stains and oils and also makes routine cleaning much more efficient.
