Polished Concrete is a process that involves grinding the concrete with a diamond polisher which transforms the appearance of the concrete to produce a shiny, glass-like floor. It enhances the natural qualities, beauty and strength of the concrete and is ideal for both residential and commercial floors.
Polishing is similar to grinding (which levels the surface and pulls out the aggregate) and sealing in that it produces a clean raw surface initially. However, the goal is to get that clean new surface refined to a glossy finish. This is accomplished by honing the surface with a planetary grinder using progressively finer diamond pads with each pass. This continues until the desired sheen is achieved. Gemstones are polished in a similar fashion. The highly densified finished surface is extremely stain resistant and durable without the need for a topical sealer.
Polished concrete is one of the most cutting-edge and cost effective flooring solutions available today. Concrete Atelier uses state of the art industrial diamonds, hardeners, and sealers. From inception to completion the result is a durable yet aesthetically pleasing concrete floor that lasts – improving safety, the environment, and cutting down on overall maintenance costs.
