How is polished concrete different from an epoxy floor?

Polished concrete is the concrete itself, mechanically refined and chemically densified. Epoxy is a coating on top. Polished concrete never peels or delaminates because there is nothing to delaminate.

Can any concrete slab be polished?

Most slabs with a minimum thickness of four inches and a reasonably level surface can be polished. Very soft or heavily damaged slabs may need a grind-and-seal instead of full polish. We do a site test before quoting.

How long does the process take?

For a 10,000 sq ft warehouse floor, four to seven days depending on the initial condition and the target gloss level. Larger sites are done by zone across successive weekends to keep operations running.

Is polished concrete slippery?

Coefficient of friction on polished concrete is similar to sealed VCT or polished stone. For food or wet environments we specify a slip-resistant sealer to bring the finish above the required threshold.

What is the ongoing maintenance?

Auto-scrubbing with a neutral pH cleaner is sufficient. No wax, no re-coat schedule. A light re-polish every seven to ten years restores gloss if the surface takes heavy abrasion.

Diamond polishing and densifier sealing

Concrete polishing and floor restoration

A polished concrete floor is the concrete you already have, made harder, easier to clean, and dust-free. No coating to peel, no wax to reapply, no annual maintenance contract. Diamond abrasives and a chemical densifier — that is the whole process.

Where we work: the Greater Montreal area

Warehouse and distribution centre operators around the CMM (the corridor along the 40, the industrial parks in Laval and Boucherville) share a floor problem: bare concrete generates dust, unsealed concrete stains, and epoxy coatings peel under forklift traffic. Polished concrete solves all three at once, and it is what most new distribution centres in the region now specify by default.

The four-step process is grind (remove surface contamination and any existing coating), densify (chemical hardener penetrates and hardens the top layer), polish (progressive diamond passes to the target gloss level), and seal (impregnating penetrating sealer). Done properly, the finish lasts twenty-plus years with routine cleaning.

Service area: Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, Brossard, Terrebonne.
