Grinding of Concrete Surfaces
Grinding Down Concrete
Professional concrete grinding can help reduce many of these problems and create a smoother, more consistent surface.
Before we begin, we inspect the floor to assess the concrete’s condition and determine how much material we can safely remove.
Deep cracks, major elevation differences, structural movement, or significant damage may require additional repair before we can finish the floor.
Concrete Grinding and Polishing
Concrete grinding and polishing are related processes, but they perform different functions.
Grinding is typically the first stage. Diamond tools remove surface material, old coatings, contaminants, and imperfections.
Polishing continues through progressively finer diamond grits to refine the concrete and produce the desired finish.
For existing concrete floors, the process may include:
Inspecting the concrete
Removing existing coatings or contaminants
Initial diamond grinding
Repairing appropriate cracks, holes, or surface defects
Additional grinding and refinement
Applying concrete densifier when appropriate
Progressive polishing
Applying the appropriate protective treatment
The exact process depends on the condition of the concrete and the finish the customer wants.
Concrete Floor Grinding for Epoxy
Residential Concrete Grinding
- Garage floors
- Interior concrete floors
- Workshops
- Utility rooms
- Patios
- Concrete floors being prepared for epoxy.
- Floors being prepared for polishing or staining.
Commercial Concrete Grinding
Commercial floors often experience heavier traffic and more demanding conditions than residential concrete.
Our commercial concrete grinding services in Los Angeles can prepare concrete floors in warehouses, stores, offices, restaurants, showrooms, and other commercial properties.
Depending on the project, grinding may be performed before polishing, coating, staining, repairing, or installing a decorative concrete system.
We use professional equipment appropriate for the floor’s size and condition.
Concrete Grinding Contractors Los Angeles
Choosing experienced concrete grinding contractors is important because every concrete slab is different.
The hardness of the concrete, previous coatings, repairs, cracks, aggregate, surface contamination, and final flooring system can all affect how the floor should be ground.
JK Concrete Polishing evaluates these conditions before determining the appropriate tooling and grinding sequence.
Our goal is not simply to grind the floor. We prepare the concrete according to the slab condition and the finish or flooring system being installed.
Concrete Grinding vs. Concrete Polishing
Concrete grinding and concrete polishing should not be treated as exactly the same service.
Concrete grinding removes material and prepares or corrects the surface.
Concrete polishing uses progressively finer diamond tooling to refine the concrete and create a smoother finished appearance.
A floor may only need grinding if it is being prepared for epoxy or another coating.
A polished concrete floor generally requires multiple grinding and polishing stages.
JK Concrete Polishing can determine the appropriate process based on your existing floor and desired result.
Benefits of Professional Concrete Floor Grinding
Professional concrete grinding can offer several benefits, depending on the floor’s condition and intended use.
It can:
Remove many existing coatings and surface contaminants
Smooth rough concrete
Reduce minor surface irregularities
Prepare concrete for epoxy and overlays
Prepare floors for polishing
Expose clean concrete
Improve the consistency of the surface
Create the appropriate profile for many flooring systems
The extent of possible correction depends on the condition and construction of the existing concrete.
