Our Polished Concrete Flooring Installation Process

1. Concrete Surface Preparation
We begin every project with thorough surface preparation. This critical first step determines the quality and longevity of your polished concrete floor. Our team carefully inspects your existing concrete for cracks, stains, and other imperfections.
We remove any existing coatings, adhesives, or sealers that might interfere with the polishing process. This often involves shot blasting or diamond grinding to create a clean slate.
For areas with significant damage, we apply specialized concrete repair compounds to ensure a uniform surface. We also take care of any moisture issues before proceeding, as excess moisture can cause serious problems later.
Our meticulous preparation process helps us avoid complications during installation and ensures your floors will remain beautiful for years to come.
2. Floor Grinding and Leveling
After preparation, we move on to grinding and leveling the concrete surface. We use industrial-grade diamond grinding equipment with multiple grit levels, starting with coarse diamonds to remove major imperfections.
Each subsequent grinding step uses finer grits, gradually refining the surface. This progressive system creates the smooth, even finish that polished concrete is known for.
For uneven floors, our leveling techniques correct variation and create a flat surface. We may apply self-leveling compounds in extreme cases to ensure proper flatness.
The grinding process also opens up the concrete pores, allowing for better penetration of hardeners and densifiers. This is essential for achieving that signature shine while enhancing durability and strength.
3. Concrete Floor Installation Techniques
Our installation techniques vary based on whether we're working with existing concrete or pouring new slabs. For new installations, we carefully control the concrete mix design, ensuring it contains the right aggregates for polishing.
We pay special attention to the water-cement ratio, as this affects the final strength and appearance. During pouring, our experts use specialized tools to create a perfectly level surface.
For existing concrete, we employ restoration techniques that bring new life to old surfaces. We can add decorative elements like staining, scoring patterns, or embedding decorative aggregates during this phase.
We also apply densifiers that penetrate the concrete and chemically react with it, creating a harder, more durable surface. This step is crucial for increasing abrasion resistance and reducing dust formation.
4. Application of Concrete Sealers and Densifiers
Our concrete sealer application process strengthens your floors from within. We use industrial-grade densifiers that penetrate deep into the concrete, hardening it at a molecular level. This treatment significantly reduces dusting and increases your floor's resistance to water penetration.
You'll notice the difference in how your floors perform after our sealer application. The concrete becomes less porous, making cleaning easier and reducing maintenance costs. Our concrete densifiers work by reacting with free lime in the concrete, creating a denser, stronger surface.
We apply these products at specific stages during the polishing process for maximum effectiveness. Your floors will maintain their attractive appearance longer with proper sealer application, extending their useful life by years.
5. Surface Polishing and Burnishing
We transform ordinary concrete into stunning floors through our meticulous polishing process. Our concrete finishers use diamond-embedded pads of progressively finer grits to achieve the exact shine level you desire—from satin to mirror-like finishes.
Your floors will benefit from our high-speed burnishing techniques that increase surface hardness while enhancing light reflectivity. This final step removes microscopic scratches and brings out the natural beauty of your concrete.
We can incorporate decorative elements during the polishing process, including exposed aggregate or colored dyes for truly unique floors. Our surface refinishing methods eliminate the need for waxes and coatings, reducing your long-term maintenance costs significantly. The result is exceptionally smooth, easy-to-clean floors that will impress your customers and serve your business for decades.
6. Routine Maintenance of Polished Concrete Floors
Daily maintenance of your polished concrete floor is remarkably simple. A dust mop or microfiber cloth will remove most dirt and debris that could scratch the surface. For weekly cleaning, we recommend using a pH-neutral cleaner with warm water and a soft mop. Avoid harsh chemicals, acidic cleaners, or abrasive tools that could damage the finish.
Spills should be cleaned promptly to prevent staining, especially with acidic substances like wine or citrus juice. We suggest placing mats at entrances to reduce dirt and grit tracked onto your floors. Many of our Nashville clients appreciate how easy their polished concrete floors are to maintain compared to other flooring options they've had in the past.
Applications of Polished Concrete
Polished concrete floors offer versatility across various environments. Their durability, sustainability, and modern appeal make them an excellent choice for many different spaces.
Residential and Commercial Flooring Solutions
Polished concrete has become increasingly popular in homes and businesses alike. In residential settings, we transform ordinary concrete into stunning, low-maintenance floors that complement both modern and traditional décor. Homeowners appreciate the sleek appearance and easy cleaning that our polished concrete provides.
For commercial spaces like retail stores, restaurants, and offices, our polished concrete solutions create an impressive first impression while standing up to heavy foot traffic. The reflective surface brightens interiors by maximizing natural light, potentially reducing lighting costs.
We can customize the finish to meet your specific needs – from matte to high-gloss, with or without decorative aggregates exposed. Many of our clients choose to incorporate their brand colors or logos directly into the floor design, creating a truly unique space.
Polished Concrete in Industrial and Warehouse Settings
Industrial facilities and warehouses benefit tremendously from our polished concrete services. These environments demand flooring that can withstand heavy machinery, frequent forklift traffic, and constant use.
Our industrial polished concrete floors resist damage from chemicals, oils, and impacts that would quickly deteriorate other flooring options. The densified surface prevents concrete dusting, protecting both equipment and inventory from concrete particles.
We've helped numerous warehouse operations improve efficiency through our polished concrete installations. The smooth, level surface facilitates easier movement of materials and equipment. Many of our industrial clients report decreased wear on vehicle tires and reduced maintenance costs after upgrading to our polished concrete floors.
The enhanced light reflectivity also improves visibility and safety throughout large industrial spaces, often allowing for reduced artificial lighting needs.
Beyond standard applications, we provide specialized polished concrete solutions for unique environments. Museums and galleries benefit from our customized floors that create neutral backgrounds for exhibitions while handling high visitor traffic.
Educational institutions from K-12 to universities choose our polished concrete for hallways, cafeterias, and common areas. These spaces require flooring that can withstand thousands of daily footsteps while maintaining appearance and safety.
Healthcare facilities value our antimicrobial polished concrete options that create smooth, seamless surfaces where bacteria cannot easily hide. We can incorporate slip-resistant treatments for areas where moisture might be present.
For outdoor applications, we offer specialized polishing techniques that create durable patios, walkways, and pool decks that resist weather exposure and provide safe, beautiful surfaces for your outdoor living spaces.
