Polished Concrete Floors
Benefits of Polished Concrete Floors
Durability and Longevity
Polished concrete floors are incredibly durable, making them ideal for high-traffic areas.
The polishing process strengthens the concrete surface, providing a long-lasting flooring solution that can withstand heavy use.
This makes polished concrete an excellent choice for industrial spaces, medical facilities, and other commercial settings.
Low Maintenance
One of the most significant advantages of polished concrete flooring is its minimal maintenance requirements.
Unlike other flooring options, such as ceramic tiles or wood, polished concrete does not require frequent sanding, waxing, or refinishing.
Regular maintenance involves sweeping and mopping to keep the floors looking their best.
Cost-Effectiveness
Polished concrete flooring costs are generally lower than other options, mainly when installed over an existing concrete slab.
The installation cost is typically based on the square footage and the desired level of polish.
Polished concrete is a cost-effective option for large and smaller projects, offering excellent value for the investment.

The Polishing Process
Polishing concrete floors is a meticulous process that transforms a rough, porous concrete surface into a smooth, glossy, and aesthetically pleasing floor.
At JK Concrete Polishing, we follow a detailed multi-step process to ensure the highest quality finish for your concrete floors.
Step 1: Surface Preparation
-Cleaning: Removing any dirt, dust, and debris from the concrete surface.
-Floor Removal: Stripping away existing floor coverings, such as carpets, tiles, or coatings.
-Surface Prep: Repairing cracks, holes, and other imperfections in the concrete slab to create a smooth, even surface for polishing.
Step 2: Grinding
Grinding the Concrete Surface: Removing the top layer of the concrete to eliminate surface imperfections, stains, and old coatings.
Exposing the Aggregate: Depending on the desired finish, the grinding process can expose the aggregate (small stones) within the concrete mix for a decorative look.
Grinding Dust Control: Utilizing vacuum systems to minimize dust and maintain a clean work environment.
Step 3: Honing
Refining the Surface: Progressively finer diamond pads hone the surface, removing scratches from the initial grinding phase.
Smoothing the Concrete: Creating a smoother surface that is ready for the polishing stages.
Step 4: Polishing
Using Polishing Abrasives: Employing a series of even finer diamond pads to polish the concrete, increasing the surface’s shine and smoothness.
Achieving the Desired Gloss: Depending on the client’s preference, the polishing process can achieve various gloss levels, from a low sheen to a high-gloss, mirror-like finish.
Wet Polishing or Dry Polishing: Both methods can be used. Wet polishing helps to reduce dust and cool the diamond abrasives, while dry polishing is faster and uses industrial vacuums to control dust.
Step 5: Sealing
Applying Concrete Sealers: Penetrating sealers provide long-lasting protection without altering the concrete’s appearance.
Enhancing Durability: The concrete guard helps to make the surface more resistant to moisture, chemicals, and wear.
Step 6: Burnishing
Using a High-Speed Burnisher: A high-speed burnishing machine creates a glossy surface and improves the concrete’s reflectivity.
Achieving a Polished Surface: The burnishing process provides a smooth, attractive, and durable finish.
