Honing & sealing is also a fantastic option in the commercial flooring environment for those looking for the polished concrete look but are on a budget.  With honed & sealed concrete floors, you can create a matt/satin or gloss finish that is easy to clean, looks like polished concrete and is easy to re-coat when required.

How the Mechanical Polish Process Works

Polished concrete surfaces undergo the most mechanical refinement and is considered the premium concrete flooring solution. The polished concrete process incorporates grouting and chemical hardeners, commonly called ‘densifiers’, to improve the durability and appearance of the floor.

As with the other types of concrete, polished concrete can be tailored to suit any design, with the aggregate exposure and sheen of the floor varied as desired. Polished concrete is an extremely popular choice for indoor applications, as it is, also hygienic, stain-resistant and dust-free.

Mechanically polished concrete is typically only used indoors– it is the true form of polished concrete as it is the concrete itself that is polished and buffed until it shines – there is no topical coating and therefore there is nothing to wear away over time, and it will last you many years.

With floors that are mechanically polished, the concrete is hardened and densified to up to 10 times its natural strength so it is much less likely to crack. The concrete is also grouted, which is a process that fills in the small pin holes and cracks on the surface, leaving the top smooth and very refined – so if you run your finger across the floor it looks and feels like glass. Then the floor undergoes a series of polishes using resins which make the floor smooth, shiny and glossy. You can finish the procedure after just a few polishes so that you end up with a matte finish – or you can continue to polish up to a very high grit for the semi or high gloss finish.

Generally speaking, a true mechanically polished concrete floor will cost more than a hone and seal but is a more cost-effective flooring solution in the long run as it never requires a recoating.

When done correctly a mechanically polished concrete floors will last a lifetime with proper care. The only maintenance required with mechanically polished concrete is a rebuff every 10 or so years if it has dulled. The rebuffing will bring back the gloss in the floor.

How is it different to Hone & Seal?

The main difference between sealed concrete and a true mechanically polished concrete slab is the densifiers added to a polished floor to strengthen its durability, polishing capability and lifespan.

A sealed concrete floor is only protected with a coating system, whereas a mechanical polished concrete floor has special chemicals added to the floor to harden the cement paste and provide a tight surface to be polished.

As a sealed concrete floor is coating applied over the top of the concrete it can scratch and damage more easily. Sealed concrete will require re-coating every 3-5 years depending on traffic and sealer product used.

Levels of Exposure

Aggregate exposure levels range from nil to minimal to full-stone exposure depending on the amount of grinding that has taken place on the concrete and the depth of the rock within the concrete.  We are able to help you achieve:

  • Nil exposure
  • Minimal random exposure, or
  • Full exposure.

 

Finishing Options

There are three finishing options to choose from when finishing off your polished concrete floors.

  • Matte
  • Semi-gloss
  • High-gloss

Cant fault the products sold. The epoxy was far superior then other brands i have used, and have been doing epoxy flake for years along with polished concrete for 10 years. It self levels really well the flakes grab to it and dont stick up sharply as other brands do. The clear was easy to use and high gloss. All the products was easy to roll including the epoxy for being solids. No need for xylene to make it more usable. Overall i will stick with superior concrete finishes for all epoxy flake and coating needs hasnt let me down yet, keep exceeding expectations.read more

So happy with the look of our new garage floor. It was a complete transformation that turned a grubby concrete floor into a beautiful light surface that’s a pleasure to walk on and clean. And it looks great!Can not recommend Superior Concrete Finishes highly enough for their professionalism and attention to detail. Josh and Marcus made sure the finish was perfect - even inside the floor of the cupboards in the garage.Totally worth the money for such a massive improvement in the appearance. Now our garage looks and feels like another room in our house - not just a place to park the cars.Really happy to give a totally 5 star recommendation. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️read more

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Do you put the stones in the concrete?

No – we treat the existing concrete surface.  We cannot control the colour or amount of stone in the concrete.  The aggregate (stones) is added and mixed at the concrete suppliers batching plant. If certain aggregates are required, it is best to consult us early in the design process so we can help choose the most suitable finish.

Q2. What happens if you get cracks in the concrete?

We patch and grout up any holes, cracks or imperfections in the concrete during the polishing process so that it all blends in nicely with the rest of the floor.  As concrete can move and cracks can appear in the future, for a small fee we utilise the same method to repair and fill any cracks, providing a seamless floor.

Q3. I don’t want the rocks showing through my floor. Can I just have plain concrete?

Yes – we can carry out an ‘Industrial Finish’ where we don’t expose the aggregate.  There are several important requirements to ensure we can achieve this finish so it’s best to contact us for this advice prior to installing the concrete.

Q4. I don’t want a glossy looking floor. I want more of a matte finish, can you do this?

Yes.  We can provide you with any desired finish you require, whether it be high gloss, semi-gloss or matte finish.

Q5. Can you remove my existing carpet / tiles / timber / vinyl? Does it cost extra?

Yes.  We can remove any/all existing flooring, including any underlying adhesive or floor toppings for an additional cost.
