This is a surface preparation technique that is sometimes overlooked. Whilst polishing is an important process, grinding as a surface preparation technique has a wide and versatile application. Remove waterproof membranes, elastomeric coatings, heavily built-up adhesives and much more. It is the ideal choice for repairing imperfections in concrete floors, slabs and walkways; gently evening out any imperfections to leave a smooth floor finish.
In preparation for a new floor covering, the removal of coatings such as glue, paint, epoxy and many others is necessary.
In preparation for coatings and overlays, shot blasting is a one-step method for stripping, cleaning and profiling concrete. Shot blasting machines utilise dust free technology to give an environmentally friendly work space. The used abrasive and contaminants are vacuumed up into a recovery unit, a closed filtered cylinder which is environmentally friendly & efficient.

Yes. This will leave a mixed exposure aggregate finish, also known as a Super Concrete existing finish. This occurs by repeatedly grinding and polishing an existing floor, leaving you with a smoother, more even floor with varying levels of aggregate exposure and unmatched resistance to wear.
There is no dust created during the restoration process, because we use diamond abrasives and water. Our trained technicians are also mindful of your wood island units, countertops and kick boards so extra precaution and protective measures are taken before work commences.
Absolutely! In fact, polished concrete is arguably the most eco-friendly flooring solution you could install. Concrete is a natural surface comprised of rock and water. Plus, it’s frequently recycled, reducing your carbon footprint. The durability of polished concrete means it lasts longer than most products and results in less waste.
The concrete polishing process is permanent. Your polished concrete can last a lifetime without needing to be re-polished in most cases, although sometimes re-polishing is necessary in very heavy-duty environments. Keep in mind all concrete will crack. However, these cracks can be part of the appeal of your floor and add rustic charm or if you prefer can be repaired.
