Level 1–2The standard polished concrete look — minimal aggregate exposure showing the natural sand and cement matrix. Ideal for modern interiors where a clean, monolithic appearance is preferred.

Polished Floors
Ground, polished, and densified to your specification — from matte industrial to mirror-finish architectural. 200–3000 grit finish options.
The Process
Mechanical Grinding.
Chemical Densification.
Polished concrete is not a coating — it's the concrete itself, mechanically refined with progressively finer diamond tooling and chemically densified to create a floor that gets harder over time.
The result is a low-maintenance floor that repels staining, withstands abrasion, and never requires waxing or stripping. Total cost of ownership is lower than virtually any competing floor system.
Our process begins with a concrete hardness assessment to determine the correct tooling matrix — a step most contractors skip and the primary cause of uneven aggregate exposure and premature wear.
Aggregate Exposure Levels
| Level | Appearance | Grit Range |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cream / No aggregate | Up to 200 grit |
| 2 | Fine aggregate exposed | 400 grit |
| 3 | Medium aggregate | 800 grit |
| 4 | Large aggregate / Full | 800–3000 grit |
Finish Options
Aggregate Profiles
Medium Aggregate
Level 3Partial aggregate exposure reveals stones up to 3/8" diameter. Creates visual interest and texture variation across the floor plane. Popular in retail and hospitality environments.
200–3000 grit finish
Full Aggregate
Level 4Maximum aggregate exposure with large stone sections fully visible. Dramatic, terrazzo-like appearance. Requires strategic grinding and benefits from premium aggregate specification at pour.

Scope of Work
What's Included
Diamond Grinding & Preparation
All polished concrete begins with proper surface preparation. We use planetary-head grinders with calibrated diamond tooling to flatten, open, and profile the slab before any densifier application.
Chemical Densification
Lithium silicate densifier penetrates the concrete matrix and reacts with free calcium to create additional CSH — making the surface harder, denser, and more resistant to abrasion.
Color & Dye Integration
Water-based and acetone-based dye systems provide unlimited color possibilities without obscuring aggregate. Applied post-grinding for full penetration into the exposed matrix.
Decorative Scoring
Saw-cut patterns create visual zones, simulate tile layouts, or provide wayfinding cues. Patterns are engineered in AutoCAD and executed with GPS-guided saws for precision layout.
