Concrete Grinding and Sealing

Grind and seal concreting can be applied in a variety of situations both residential and commercial, and will give you a very durable and inexpensive finish that will last years.

Grind and Seal

____________

Concrete grinding and sealing is a method of polishing concrete, we grind back the top layer of concrete to show as little or as much stone as the customer desires. (Some like to see a lot, and some like to see only a little, it is a personal preference).

Once the right level of stone exposure has been achieved with the concrete grinding we then use finer diamonds to remove visible scratching and get a flat surface ready for a coating. At this point the concrete can be grouted if you want a much smoother more refined glass like surface. For a full stone exposure finish, we will always grout the floor, but for a minimum/random exposure you can choose if you want to add this step as it will cost more.

Lastly the floor is finished with a protective sealer. This sealer can be a matte, semi-gloss or high gloss.

The Advantages of Choosing Grind and Seal Concrete System



Lower Cost

The initial installation cost is slightly lower than other polished concrete options.
Less labour is required and fewer materials are used than with a mechanically polished concrete system. This simplicity results in lower initial installation costs and makes it a cost effective choice for a polished look.
Concrete grinding and polishing is the perfect solution for concrete in all sorts of conditions. Whether it’s old or damaged, grinding can remove imperfections and eliminates the need for extensive surface preparation and repairs.



Low Maintenance

The sealant in a Grind and Seal system provides durability against stains and spills, as well as resistance to wear and tear. It also provides moisture protection, ultimately extending the floor’s lifespan and reducing maintenance requirements.



Bacteria Resistant

The non-porous surface created by the sealant in a Grind and Seal system ensures easy cleaning and sanitation, reduces dirt accumulation, offers chemical resistance, and minimises organic growth, promoting a cleaner and healthier environment with efficient maintenance routines.



Free Choice of Gloss

The Grind and Seal concrete system provides flexible aesthetic choices, including matte, semi-gloss, or high gloss finishes, allowing property owners to customise their flooring to match various interior designs while maintaining consistent pricing across different gloss levels for easier budgeting.



Slip Resistance

Whether it’s a commercial kitchen, workshop, retail space, or residential bathroom, the Grind and Seal system creates a durable surface that can reach the slip ratings required for residential and commercial spaces. The sealed surface remains effective in preventing slips and falls, even under heavy foot traffic. Enhancing slip resistance through the Grind and Seal system is a cost-effective way to improve safety, compared to the expense of installing entirely new flooring or frequent maintenance of less durable slip-resistant treatments.
