What is Concrete Grinding?
Concrete flooring is rapidly rising in popularity in residential and commercial spaces for its versatility, longevity, ease of maintenance, and sleek, modern look. With its ability to take on colour and patterning, it’s incredible what a stunning polished concrete floor can do to bring your interior design together. Not only this, but concrete is also an eco-friendly design option as it makes use of materials already present in the space, and is easy to clean, scratch resistant, and allergy free. The benefits are endless!
Achieving the smooth, glossy effect of polished concrete requires the use of a concrete grinder. This is a heavy-duty polishing machine that’s equipped with diamond abrasive grits, which grind down the surface of the floor to the desired level of shine and smoothness. As well as its visual appeal, concrete grinding offers a host of benefits which include:
– Restoration: Even if your concrete floor has seen better days, concrete grinding removes all imperfections from concrete and leaves your floor looking as good as new. This includes dirt, paint and epoxies as well as irregularities in the concrete’s surface.
– The perfect foundation: Concrete is the ideal surface to install any kind of flooring on top of, but only if it’s in prime condition. Concrete grinding effectively prepares your floor for laying tiles, floorboards, carpets, or for polishing the concrete flooring being the most stunning choice.
– Enhanced durability: After concrete grinding, the floor is treated with a sealer. Although concrete is already an incredibly durable material, the finishing treatment guarantees its longevity for years to come and reduces maintenance work on your part.
