POLISHED CONCRETE FLOOR
POLISHED CONCRETE FLOOR
What is a polished concrete floor, exactly?
Polished concrete is a premium finish created directly from your existing concrete slab. It’s not a coating or a product applied on top, but a true transformation of the surface itself. Through mechanical grinding, chemical densification, and precision polishing, we reveal the inner strength and natural beauty of the concrete.
No coatings. No overlays. Just a smooth, dense, glossy finish that becomes one with the slab. Unlike epoxy or sealers, polished concrete won’t peel or delaminate. It’s permanent, seamless, and low- maintenance.
This service is offered by select certified B.Protek Concrete Coatings franchise owners, depending on your location.

Why choose polished concrete?
- THE BENEFITS
- HOW IS POLISHED CONCRETE DONE?
- WHERE DOES POLISHED CONCRETE WORK BEST?
- FINISH LEVELS AND AESTHETIC OPTIONS
- LOW-MAINTENANCE, HIGH-PERFORMANCE FLOORING
- Modern, mineral finish available in matte, satin or gloss
- Superior durability and resistance to wear
- Easy maintenance, no waxing or specialty cleaners
- No embedded dust or flaking surface
- Low environmental impact: zero VOCs, no added resin
- Excellent long-term value
We follow a three-step professional process:
Mechanical Grinding
The surface is ground using industrial diamond segments. The depth of grinding determines the level of aggregate exposure:
- Grade 1 – Cream finish (no exposure)
- Grade 2 – Sand exposure
- Grade 3 – Partial or full aggregate exposure
Chemical Densification
A lithium- or silicate-based densifier is applied to fill pores and harden the concrete.
Progressive Polishing
The surface is polished with increasingly fine diamond pads to reach the desired sheen: matte, satin, or high-gloss.
Polished concrete is ideal for indoor spaces with an exposed slab:
- Residential: basements, lofts, kitchens, hallways, entrances
- Commercial: offices, stores, showrooms, museums, lobbies
- Light industrial: dry warehouses, clean workshops, production areas
Polished concrete can be customized based on the exposure level and finish you’re looking for:
Grade 1 – Cream finish: smooth and uniform, no visible aggregates.
Grade 2 – Sand exposure: exposes fine sand particles for a subtle, elegant texture.
Grade 3 – Full aggregate exposure: reveals the larger stones in the concrete, for a distinctive architectural look.
All finish levels can be delivered in matte, satin or gloss.
| Maintenance Type | Main Action | Recommended Frequency |
| Routine Cleaning | Dry dust mop or auto-scrubber with non-abrasive pads. | Daily to weekly, depending on use |
| Damp mop with pH-neutral cleaner (no acidic or harsh degreasers). | ||
| Periodic Cleaning | Deep clean using diamond pads (e.g., Twister) to refresh the finish. | Monthly to quarterly |
| Inspect for dull areas, micro-cracks or localized wear. | ||
| Preventive Care | Light repolishing with fine diamond pads to restore shine. | Every 6 to 12 months |
| Reapply protective sealer (if originally used). |
Simple upkeep. No harsh chemicals. Just lasting beauty.

FAQ – Polished Concrete
No. Even with a glossy finish, it maintains strong traction and is often safer than a painted or sealed floor.

Pricing depends on the surface condition, finish type and area. Ask your local B.Protek franchise for a custom quote.
