Surface Preparation: Start by thoroughly cleaning the concrete surface to remove any dirt, grease, or stains. If the concrete is rough or uneven, grind it down to create a smooth base.
Grinding: Use progressively finer diamond grinding pads to smooth the surface further. This step is crucial for achieving a glass-like finish. Begin with a coarse grit and gradually move to finer grits.
Polishing: After grinding, use specialized polishing pads with increasingly finer grits to polish the concrete. This process will bring out the natural shine of the concrete, making it reflective and smooth.
Densifying: Apply a concrete densifier to harden the surface. This step not only enhances the shine but also increases the durability of the concrete, making it more resistant to wear and stains.
Final Polishing: Continue polishing with very fine grit pads until the concrete achieves a glossy, mirror-like finish. The more you polish, the shinier and smoother the surface will become.
Sealing: Finally, apply a high-quality sealer to protect the polished concrete and maintain its shine. A sealer also adds an extra layer of protection against spills and stains, ensuring your floor stays beautiful for years.

Yes, you can polish concrete that is already laid. Polishing existing concrete involves a process where the surface is ground down using specialized equipment and diamond abrasives to achieve a smooth, high-gloss finish. This process not only enhances the appearance of the concrete but also increases its durability and makes it easier to maintain. To polish concrete effectively, it's important to assess the condition of the slab and use the appropriate techniques and equipment to ensure a professional finish.
