The Multi‑Step Polishing Process
Based on standard diamond‑polished protocols and Polished Concrete 1’s highly engineered workflow , the process includes:
- Inspection & Prep: Assess slab for issues and determine optimal processes.
- Coarse Grinding (20, 35, 55grit): Use low‑grit metal bonded diamonds to level and expose new concrete.
- Densification: Apply lithium silicate densifier to harden the concrete and reduce dusting, essential for durability.
- Honing (100+200 grit): Smooth the surface and transition to finer abrasives.
- Polishing (400, 800, 1500, 3000‑grit resin tools): Progressively refine the surface to achieve desired sheen—from satin to high‑gloss showroom finish.
- Design options & sealing: Optional concrete dyes or stains for aesthetic colour. Optional surface protectant adds durability and stain resistance.
Concrete only qualifies as “polished” at 400‑grit or higher, with 3000+ grit delivering an ultra finish.
