Concrete grinding and polishing is the term used to describe the process of smoothing down rough concrete surfaces to reveal a smooth and shiny surface. This process requires the use of heavy duty concrete grinding machines and diamond impregnated discs or segments, which resemble a durable sandpaper. During the concrete grinding process, the discs are gradually replaced with finer grit discs in order to produce a high shine or smoothness. Therefore, the concrete polishing process is really simply the final stages of the concrete grinding process using the finest grit discs in order to achieve a high shine finish. During the final concrete polishing stage, a polishing compound may be applied to help clean any residue remaining on the surface and give the floor additional sheen. When used together, concrete grinding and polishing can result in a smooth, striking surface that resembles polished stone.
