The surface gets finely ground down with state-of-the-art equipment that acts as sandpaper but involves diamond grit. The outcome is the glossiness that reflects the physics of the concrete itself, not just a shiny liquid coating.

Methods of Concrete Polishing
Concrete floor coating contractors focus on the mechanical process of grinding the floor into a smooth surface using professional grinding equipment. Each stage uses a different coarse of grinding to get the smoothness level required and desired gloss. There are two for polishing concrete, wet and dry.
Choosing the right method for your facility highly depends on the nature of your business. For food establishments, it is always necessary to use a 100% dust-free process, wet polish. However, companies that require high gloss floors, such as showrooms, will go for the dry polish method.
Dry polish method
In dry polishing, concrete is grounded using commercial-scale machines. Dry polish uses different abrasive polishing disks with coarse and finer textures to get the final shine. The dust produced is vacuumed up as the concrete is ground. The dry method has its advantages which include:
- Very shiny surface
- Hardening and condensing are more intense to the slabs
- Dry polishing can be done in open and closed areas due to their advanced machinery
Wet polish method
In the wet polish method, constructors use water to minimize dust escaping into the atmosphere. Water is also used to help prevent the polishing disks from wearing out faster. Dust produced is trapped in the water forming a slurry as the final product. Wet polish uses grits almost the same size. Wet polishing doesn’t have a high gloss outcome as a final product as the dry polishing method. However, wet polishing has its advantages. Some of its benefits include:
- Shorter downtimes
- It is cheap compared to dry concrete polish methods
- This process can use propane-fueled machines that are environmentally friendly
- Wet polish is dust-free

The Polishing Process
Regardless of your choice, the polishing process involves surface preparation, concrete grinding, and polishing.
Surface Preparation
Proper preparation in concrete polishing leaves the concrete dry and a leveled surface with no dust, dirt, or grease. It decides the outcome of the polished surface. Removing surface contaminants allows materials to contact the substrate directly, thereby increasing the anchorage of materials applied and the surface area. Steps followed when preparing a concrete surface; Resurfacing and removing unsound concrete from the surface of the concrete.
Any material that can prevent bonding between the overlay and the concrete surface, such as grease, oil, and dirt, is removed. The concrete surface is then roughened to prepare it for an overlay.
Equipment used for grinding in the polishing process is diamond coated. Concrete polishing can be done when old surfaces are refurbished, or new ones are made.
