Why Concrete Polishing?
Does the concrete floor in your retail store, showroom, building lobby or perhaps your home garage get a lot of foot traffic? If you want that floor to always have a brilliant shine then Concrete polishing is what you need to achieve this goal.
The concrete polishing technique gives the concrete floor the capability to withstand high foot traffic and heavy loads while maintaining a glossy look.
Concrete Polishing
The concrete polishing process is a permanent and cost effective solution that will give your floors a pleasant and appealing look. With a wide range of floor finishes to choose from, you can be confident that your floor will look exactly like how you imagined it to be.
Many confuse concrete polishing as simply applying a coating or surface polish. Generally speaking, the concrete polishing process consists of a series of mechanical grinding, honing, and polishing of the concrete surface to achieve the desired shine.
The shine achieved by concrete polishing reflects the properties of the concrete surface when finely ground by an equipment with a diamond grit.
The concrete polishing process basically does two main things:
- Transforms concrete into a smooth surface with different levels of shine depending on how intense it was polished.
- Squeezes together the molecules in concrete to create the hardest and densest concrete surface.

The concrete polishing process we do at Epoxy Floors New Jersey comes with a lot of benefits:
Reduces Cost of Materials

Increases Durability
Concrete polishing makes the floor more durable. It is transformed into a concrete surface that is resistant to scratches; tire marks, abrasion, liquid spills, dust, and all sorts of damages.
Healthy and Safe
The concrete polishing process gets rid of harmful contaminants in the concrete surface to ensure good quality air is all that circulates in the space.
Enhances Energy Efficiency
A polished concrete floor enhances the energy efficiency of a space regardless of the reflective level of the finished concrete floor. The need for artificial lighting can be reduced to a big extent.
Our concrete polishing process is available in these surface finishes:
- Polished concrete comes with a glass-like sheen. It reflects light as clear as a mirror.
- Honed concrete comes with a matte finish that has a low, medium or high level of sheen. It slightly reflects a slight clear light.
- Ground concrete comes with a low sheen and a flat surface finish. It does not reflect light at all.
Aggregates are an important part of concrete. They are idle granular materials that include sand, crushed stone, and gravel together with Portland cement and water. Aggregate exposure improves the aesthetic value of concrete finishes with the least cost.
Aggregate Exposure
Aggregate exposure resulting from the concrete polishing process enhances the quality and look of the concrete finish. Aggregate exposure ranges from minimal exposure to no exposure of fine aggregate, which is similar in appearance to terrazzo.
