Grind & Seal
Polished Concrete & Sealed Concrete Look Similar, But They Are Quite Different
Here’s a quick summary of comparing the two processes: Concrete polishing is the mechanical process of polishing the surface of an existing concrete slab using engineered floor grinders fitted with industrial diamonds. During this process, the concrete is honed and polished using progressively finer grits of diamond abrasives until the floor reaches the desired level of shine (either level 1-4; matte to high gloss). However with sealed concrete, the gloss is achieved from a topical sealer. The process is simpler and involves less grinding, honing, and polishing steps.
What Are Grind and Sealed Concrete Floors?
Grind and seal is a concrete flooring process that involves grinding the concrete surface to remove imperfections, repairing cracks, and grouting to fill minor cracks. The concrete is then ground down and coated with an epoxy coating or other topical sealer. The sealer protects the concrete, gives it a wearing surface, and adds shine.
