How is a polished concrete floor installed?
Installing a polished concrete floor involves several key steps to ensure a smooth, durable, and high-quality finish:
Preparation:
The existing surface is cleaned and, if needed, a concrete slab is poured and left to cure (usually for 3–4 weeks). The area must be level and structurally sound.Grinding:
Once the concrete is cured, heavy-duty grinding machines are used to remove the top layer and expose the desired level of aggregate.Hardening (densifier):
A chemical hardener is applied to strengthen the concrete and make it more resistant to wear and staining.Polishing:
The surface is gradually polished using finer grit diamond pads to achieve the desired level of sheen—matte, satin, or high gloss.Sealing:
A protective sealer is applied to enhance durability, improve stain resistance, and make cleaning easier.
