Grind and Seal is the industry term for concrete which has a clear coating system installed on your concrete floor. It is often called polished concrete however there are significant differences between a coating system and true polished concrete. There are also different options within the grind and seal systems in the type of products used, number of coats applied and cure periods required. When chosen correctly a grind and seal is suitable for homes, showrooms, retail outlets, factories and commercial properties.
Polished concrete is concrete that has been processed through a series of mechanically ground “polishing/grinding” steps utilizing professional equipment designed for concrete polishing. This process also includes the use of a penetrant chemical known as a hardener. The concrete densifier/hardener penetrates into the concrete and creates a chemical reaction to help harden and dust proof the surface. During concrete polishing the surface is processed through a series of steps (in general a minimum of 6 grinding steps of processing is considered polished concrete) utilizing progressively finer grinding tools. Once the process is complete an impregnating sealer is applied for stain resistance. We can also help with epoxy coating in Geelong and surrounding suburbs.
