Diamond Polished Concrete Floors:
The process of Diamond Polishing Concrete has earned its place in the USA as
one of the most durable and cost efficient applications that can be done to a concrete slab.
The dry Polishing process was originally devised in Sweden and has been doing quite well here in the States for more than ten years now. With the proper use of quality diamonds, these concrete slabs begin a transformation from drab old concrete slabs to a brilliant, hard and virtually
stain free surface. This process falls under Green Building products application.
Our Diamond Polished Concrete Floors are sealed with a Lithium Silicate Densifier that will harden the surface as well as seal the surface integrally. (not topical) We use Lithium products because they are non-destructive to the concrete as are most other traditional
Silicate Densifiers on the Market today. We can provide an exposure of all course stone thru polishing cream only.
When we provide Diamond Polished floors we find it important to consider every detail. This includes how we transition our floors to the walls with handwork detail; which we find that our competitors overlook or just do not take this into consideration as an aspect of
the floor.
We are providing this process in retail spaces, restaurants, private residences, showrooms, and commercial institutions. This process can be provided with slabs that are as old as 90 years. New concrete slabs must be at least 28 days old to begin the process. Integral
color concrete can take the process well. Dyes or acid stains can be applied to existing concrete slabs during the process to desired color and effects.
There are some considerations to be made when electing to use this process.
1. The slab should be considerably flat.
2. The slab should be sound with no moving portions.
3. The existing surface appearance should have little to no Spalding (missing patches) these can be repaired but may be quite evident upon polishing.
4. The slab must have course aggregate in it. (Not just sand and cement)
5. Equipment accessibility to the space to be treated. (Most of our equipment is large and extremely heavy)
