Polished Concrete Floors

Concrete is commonly used outside, but it can also be used indoors in some less common ways. Polished concrete is one of its more noticeable applications. The polishing procedure increases the concrete's usefulness while giving it a very upscale, contemporary appearance. A well-finished floor is smooth, shining, and simple to maintain. 

Although relatively labor-intensive, the technique for polishing concrete floors is rather simple. If you want to have the floors thoroughly polished and shined, you will need heavy-duty, hefty machinery to complete the task. Unexpectedly, there are a ton of design options available, including colors, embedding pebbles, making patterns, or even putting things into the flooring prior to polishing.

​Although concrete needs a lot more passes with the grinder than wood does with the sander, the technique is similar to sanding wood floors. However, the floor must be examined for hardness, as well as for chips or cracks, and all imperfections must be fixed before the grinding process can begin.

Concrete Countertops

Although less time-consuming than floor polishing, this method still requires accuracy to produce the greatest results. The resultant texture and appearance will affect how it functions. A few different looks you can go for include smooth, salt and pepper, and exposed aggregate.

The frame is constructed, and the concrete is then poured and left to dry. This could take a day or perhaps a week. The following methods will work better the harder and dryer the tabletop is.

Smooth Surface Concrete Countertop: A polishing pad-equipped orbital sander is used to sand down the countertop. While sanding, the countertop must be wet. You must use very little pressure when using the sander to avoid scraping the concrete's surface to the level of sand. The surface is then cleaned using a squeegee and water. It is finished if there are no little pinholes or scratches.
​
Salt and Pepper Concrete Countertop: 
Wet the entire surface first, and then use a 50 grit polishing pad to sand. Just enough of the surface is removed to get close to the desired result. After that, we transfer to a 100 grit pad and polish the surface while keeping it damp. After removing the unclean water from the surface and applying clean, a 200 grit pad. A 400 grit pad is then used to duplicate the previous procedure.
