National Concrete Polishing is a flooring contractor for commercial, industrial, and residential polished concrete solutions. Polished concrete is a highly popular flooring option for industrial factories and warehouses, business establishments, educational institutions, and residential neighborhoods, simply because polished concrete is a safe, low-maintenance, and eco-friendly flooring choice. Polished concrete has truly become a renowned flooring surface that provides superior durability. When a concrete floor is mechanically polished the floor’s surface is refined with diamond abrasive tools that can either produce a high sheen polished surface or a duller surface, per the client’s preference. Polished concrete is extremely cost-effective, requires minimal maintenance, and can be most commonly found in showrooms, warehouses, restaurants, retail outlets, and industrial, commercial, and residential homes and garages.

WHAT IS POLISHED CONCRETE?

Polished concrete is a method of hardening, grinding and sealing concrete that makes it durable and resistant to wear and tear. The process of polishing concrete uses grinding and polishing machines that utilize industrial diamonds to grind away imperfections, and renovate and repair concrete flooring. Following the grinding and preparation process, impregnating hardeners, sealers, and densifiers are used to polish and finish the concrete slab. Polished concrete can have different amounts and levels of reflectivity. Reflectivity is purely aesthetic, while the level of aggregate exposure is different because that requires grinding deeper into the floor.

Thermal Conductivity Enhancement
Polished concrete improves heat retention, making it ideal for energy-efficient buildings.
Anti-Microbial Sealers
Optional coatings prevent bacterial growth, ideal for healthcare, food processing, and cleanroom environments.
Variable Gloss Levels
Customizable sheen from satin to high-gloss based on client preferences and functional needs.
Slip-Resistance Optimization
Special additives and finishing techniques improve traction without compromising aesthetics.
Low-Temperature Tolerance
Specially formulated coatings that withstand freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or delaminating.

The options

What Are The Different Types Of Polished Concrete?

  • A fully polished concrete floor taken to a high gloss, the aggregate cut flat and flush with the paste and polished to the same sheen.

    Mechanical Polishing

    Mechanical Polishing

    Is a multi-step process that offers durability and aesthetic versatility, making it ideal for commercial and industrial settings.

  • A lightly ground concrete floor under a topical sealer film, the grinder's overlapping arcs still faintly readable through the satin coat.

    Grind and Seal

    Grind and Seal

    Is a cost-effective method that involves grinding the concrete and sealing it with a topical layer, suitable for residential and outdoor spaces.

  • A burnished concrete floor: the slab left closed and unopened, buffed to a soft even lustre with wide overlapping pad arcs across it.

    Burnished Concrete

    Burnished Concrete

    Is achieved by buffing the surface with a high-speed floor buffer and is typically used in warehouses and low-traffic areas.

  • A honed concrete floor stopped at a matte finish, aggregate showing as an even speckle with no gloss and a thin film of water over part of it.

    Honed Concrete

    Honed Concrete

    Provides a non-slip, matte finish and is often used in wet areas like swimming pool decks.

  • A thin cementitious overlay stopping in a feathered edge across an older slab, the new bone-grey surface beside the darker patched concrete.

How it goes

What Is The Process For Concrete Polishing?

  1. Two square patch repairs filled with fresh mortar in a bare concrete slab, a trowel and a pail of mortar set down beside them

    CONCRETE PREPARATION

    The most important step in preparing your concrete floor to be polished. We use our diamond grinding process to cut through the surface to make the concrete smooth. We repair any cracks or imperfections during this step of the process and make sure there is nothing on the floor.

  2. A walk-behind floor grinder with dust extraction standing on a concrete slab, a wide band ground open in front of it exposing the aggregate

    DIAMOND GRINDING

    Diamond grinding is the process of cutting through the surface of the floor with an industrial-grade concrete grinder that uses a specialized set of diamond grits to expose the unfinished concrete.

  3. A saw-cut joint across a concrete slab, filled with a smooth bead along the far half and still open nearest the camera, a cartridge gun beside it

    JOINT FILLER

    When needed, we apply joint filler to all control and expansion joints. We are also able to apply a further grout coat to any small cracks and holes.

  4. A row of diamond honing pads laid out coarse to fine on a concrete floor, honed surface on one side of the working line and coarse ground surface on the other

    CONCRETE HONING

    This is where we grind the floor down over and over again using progressively lighter diamond blades so it really looks great. This honing process is where you really get the polished finish to look great.

  5. A polished concrete floor with daylight running down it as a long soft reflection, a pump sprayer and a pad on a handle at the wall

    POLISHING

    This is where you choose how you want your floor to look. We polish the floor with bonded abrasives and densifiers/hardeners to make the floor dust and stain-resistant. We can also add stains and different coats to make the floor shine more or less depending on your needs.

What Are The Benefits of Polished Concrete?

Polished concrete floors offer a range of advantages that make them a popular choice for various settings. They’re Durable and Long-lasting, able to withstand high foot traffic and resist wear and tear. The Low Maintenance nature of polished concrete means it requires only occasional damp mopping, without the need for waxes or coatings. Aesthetic Versatility is another perk; these floors can be customized with colors, patterns, and varying levels of sheen. Furthermore, polished concrete is Environmentally Friendly, often using existing materials and eliminating the need for additional flooring that may require harmful chemicals.

What Are The Negatives of Polished Concrete?

However, polished concrete isn’t without its drawbacks. The flooring can be Hard and Cold, which might be uncomfortable for prolonged standing or walking. It’s also Slippery When Wet, posing a safety risk if not properly treated. The Initial Cost can be high, especially for high-quality finishes. Lastly, despite its durability, it’s Not Completely Resistant to spills and may require re-polishing over time, especially in high-traffic areas.

What Are The Differences Between Polished Concrete and Epoxy?

Polished concrete and epoxy flooring are both solid choices, but they differ in several key ways. Polished Concrete is ground, honed, and polished to achieve its finish, whereas Epoxy Flooring involves applying a resin and hardener over a concrete slab. Epoxy is Chemical and Stain-resistant, making it ideal for industrial environments. Polished concrete, however, offers Better Breathability, allowing moisture to evaporate instead of becoming trapped under the surface. In terms of Aesthetics, polished concrete provides a more natural look, while epoxy offers a wider range of colors and patterns including metallic epoxy floors. Maintenance for epoxy can be more demanding, as it may require re-coating, whereas polished concrete generally just needs basic cleaning.

Where Can You Find A Polished Concrete Installer?

Finding a reputable polished concrete installer is crucial for ensuring a high-quality, durable finish for your flooring project. Companies like National Concrete Polishing offer installation services across the country, bringing expertise and specialized equipment to the job. Here’s what to consider when choosing a polished concrete contractor:

  • Proper Training

    Look for teams that have undergone rigorous training in concrete polishing techniques, ensuring they are well-versed in the intricacies of the process.

  • Specialized Equipment

    The contractor should possess professional-grade grinding machines and other necessary equipment to achieve the desired finish.

  • Quality Materials

    Ensure that the contractor uses high-quality materials like commercial-grade concrete and reliable sealants for a long-lasting result.

  • Insurance

    Always opt for a contractor with proper insurance coverage to safeguard against any potential risks or damages during the installation.

The Science of Long-Lasting Polished Concrete

At National Concrete Polishing, we don’t just polish concrete. We engineer surfaces for maximum durability, performance, and sustainability. While most companies focus on achieving a glossy finish, we integrate advanced densification, molecular-level hardening, and micro-crack mitigation to ensure your floors withstand extreme climate fluctuations.

  • National Concrete Polishing is priviledged to have Victoria Reese as one of their employees. The image and goodwill of a company is the direct reflection of the quality of work performed by its employees. And Victoria is an OUTSTANDING example!. She came to our house twice and provided frequent follow ups. Provided a sample of the product to be installed and was there when the work began and concluded. Just STELLAR performance by Victoria in managing the project. We are very, very happy with her work, and therefore with National Concrete Polishing. This project was on a rental property. Most certainly we'll consider National Concrete and Victoria when the time comes to fix our own garage and patio. FANTASTIC WORK by Victoria and National Concrete!

  • We had brand new quartz countertops that came with a new construction home and were plain white. I figured they would get stained and didn't really care for the color at all. We researched what we could do to change the color with out doing a whole demolition. My husband found Chris and his company. And to our surprise they were local and had a show room. I visited the show room and liked what I've seen. His employees came to our home and did the garage flooring and kitchen countertops. We had a lot of quotes but his warranty & price was outstanding. His staff Justin and apprentice did and awesome job. Justin is a real artist and we appreciate his talent.. Great staff...We will be getting our bathroom countertops done next...I was nervous at first but they really took care of us. My kitchen went from boring to exciting..I couldn't be more happier....🤗Epoxy is the way to go!

Common questions

Polished concrete floors are known for their durability and can last for decades, often over 20 years. The lifespan depends on factors such as the environment, maintenance practices, and the level of foot or machinery traffic.

No, the process is not typically dusty or messy. Professionals use state-of-the-art equipment designed to make the process almost entirely dust-free, ensuring a clean and efficient operation

Polished concrete floors require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning with clean water or a neutral pH cleaner is sufficient. It’s advisable to avoid using wax, as it may dull the finish

The longevity of the shine on polished concrete depends on the environment and usage. In industrial settings, the shine may diminish faster due to heavy machinery and constant use. However, with proper maintenance, the polished finish can last for many years before requiring repolishing.
