The benefits of concrete floors are quite clear, especially in commercial and industrial spaces. But, over the years, heavy foot and vehicle traffic, combined with the knocks, bumps and scrapes that occur on the worksite, will damage your concrete slabs. And a damaged concrete surface can be dangerous, not to mention unattractive. Thankfully you don’t need to pay for a new floor to be laid with our concrete grinding services!

Benefits of Concrete Grinding

Concrete grinding and polishing is the first step in preparing concrete floors for new finishes. If you’re remodelling your home or business and would like to lay down tiles or wooden floorboards, then concrete grinding and polishing will give you a smooth and level base to work with.

However, don’t be lulled into thinking that grinding is a lesser finish. On the contrary, it can create stylish and hard-wearing concrete floors all on its own. 

Older concrete is often riddled with pockmarks, chips, scrapes, stains and fading; these may be the result of years of poor maintenance combined with natural on-site wear and tear. Grinding away this top layer leaves you with a smooth and blemish-free substrate surface.

Left as is, your new concrete surface will be highly durable and is largely resistant to stains, mould and odours. However, as Australia’s only full-service concrete specialists, we also have a range of decorative and protective coatings to bolster the benefits of your newly buffed concrete floors.

Restores Existing Concrete Floors

A cracked and chipped concrete floor is only liable to get worse. Concrete grinding removes imperfections, improving durability and increasing lifespan.

Excellent for High-Traffic Areas

A newly ground concrete floor is extremely durable and can withstand the pressure of high foot and vehicle traffic, making it ideal for industrial and warehouse environments.

Cost-Effective

Concrete grinding isn’t as labour intensive as other concrete floor finishes. Needing only a simple seal to finish it off, grinding is an affordable solution for large concrete areas.

Appropriate for a Variety of Contexts

The simplicity of the process and the quality of the result makes concrete grinding a great solution for residential, commercial and industrial spaces alike.

Preps Concrete Floors for Additional Finishes

After the concrete grinding is complete, you can choose to seal it (with a grind and seal) or add decorative coatings.

Frequently asked questions

How Does Concrete Grinding Work?

  1. Our concrete flooring specialists will use Husqvarna grinders to remove any contaminants from your existing concrete slab.
  2. Any cracks and divots in the floor are patched with special patching materials.
  3. If required, we can grind the floor back again to make the floor even smoother.
  4. We’ll then clean the floor and prepare it for the sealing stage. At this point, we can add a stain to the floor if desired.
  5. Then we’ll seal the floor with the finish of your choice.

There are a variety of sealants and finishes to choose from — including high gloss and semi-matte. Speak with our team to find out what’s available for your floors.

What’s the Difference Between Concrete Grinding and Polished Concrete?

Aesthetically, both services produce the same outcome. But the process of getting a stunning concrete floor is different for each.

Polished concrete is more labour intensive, involving more steps. During concrete polishing, the existing slab is polished using finer grits of diamond abrasives until the floor reaches the level of shine desired.

Concrete grinding involves fewer steps. Often, we need only grind the floor once and apply a high-performance sealer to look similar to polished concrete.

What Industries Does Concrete Grinding Work Best For?

Suited to both indoor and outdoor settings, concrete grinding is the best service for commercial industries such as:

  • Shopping centres
  • Cafes and restaurants
  • Hospitals and medical
  • Offices
  • Schools and universities
  • Retail outlets
  • Gyms
  • Warehouses
  • Hospitals
  • Workshops

What is Concrete Grinding?

Concrete grinding is the practice of using industrial diamond-toothed machinery to grind and buff a rough concrete surface down to a fine, smooth finish. Policrete’s concrete grinding services revitalise your concrete surfaces, restoring their practical qualities and making them look as good as new.

We use top-of-the-line concrete grinders developed by the Swedish company Husqvarna. Their expert tools in our expert hands result in flawless mechanically polished concrete floors. 

You’ll be left with a polished concrete floor that is stain-resistant, durable, and easy to maintain. We can even finish your floors with chemically resistant or anti-slip sealants for added durability and safety.

Why Should I Choose Concrete Grinding for My Floors?

Concrete grinding offers more flexibility at a more affordable price than traditional concrete polishing services. Because we can grind away fewer layers and simply apply a sealant instead, it’s a great solution if you’re working within a tight budget. It also means you have more choices about how your floor will look.

Our service area covers the entire Melbourne metropolitan area. It also extends through Geelong and down the Mornington Peninsula. So whether you’re remodelling your home or starting up a new business, you can rely on Policrete to bring your vision to life.
