Polished Concrete
FlooringGROUND · HONED · POLISHED
A mechanically ground and polished concrete floor — the existing or new slab is refined through progressive diamond grits and densified into a dust-proof, low-maintenance, naturally elegant surface with the sheen tuned from matte to high-gloss.
What is Polished Concrete Flooring?
Polished concrete is a mechanically processed floor in which a concrete slab is ground with progressively finer diamond abrasives and treated with a chemical densifier, then polished to the desired sheen. The result is a dense, dust-proof, abrasion-resistant surface that uses the concrete itself as the finished floor — no coating to peel or delaminate. It is prized for its clean industrial-modern look, very low maintenance, and long service life, with the gloss tuned anywhere from a soft matte to a reflective high-shine. How this compares against a bonded resin floor — on chemicals, hygiene and lifetime cost — is covered in polished concrete vs epoxy flooring.
How the System Is Built
Polished concrete is not a coating — it is the slab itself, refined in stages. Tap any layer to see its role.
Polish & Guard
Final fine-grit polishing brings the surface to the chosen sheen — matte, satin or high-gloss — and a penetrating guard is applied to boost stain resistance and protect the shine. System values: Per Project Specification.
Engineered & Installed by POLYZEN
Polished concrete is delivered as a POLYZEN Applied System — surveyed, designed and installed turnkey by POLYZEN's trained applicators, with grind level, densifier, sheen and aggregate exposure specified to your project.
The Slab, Refined
Polished concrete turns the structural slab into the finished floor — minimal material, maximum life. Grind level, sheen and aggregate exposure are specified to the project; performance is confirmed on the project specification.
The achievable finish depends on the condition and quality of the slab, which is assessed at survey. POLYZEN specifies finished values on the project specification and does not publish fabricated figures.
The Application Process
Inspect & Assess
Slab survey — strength, flatness, cracks and aggregate — to confirm the achievable finish.
Design & Sample
Grind level, sheen and aggregate exposure agreed — a test panel prepared for sign-off.
Grind & Densify
Repairs → progressive diamond grinding → chemical densifier → fine polishing stages.
