The Process of Diamond Concrete Grinding
For your business properties, we term this as our commercial concrete polishing or diamond grinding and it is a favorite option among swimming pool business owners because it results in the improved quality of the decks.
Step 1. Preparation. We believe preparation is the key to any flooring technique. Our team ensures that the surface has been cleared of any mold, mildew, or deposits that may hinder the grinding process from reaching maximum effects through a thorough washing and scrubbing with soap, water, or other substances if needed.
Step 2. Grinding. Using a diamond floor grinder with a heavy-duty diamond grinding pad, we go through the surface several times until a smoother and even surface is achieved. Of course, rougher textures can also be preferred to avoid any slip accidents. consult with us on your preferred textures before getting the job done.
Step 3. Polishing. Finer grits will be needed to check any uneven surfaces that the machine didn’t get. It will take several attempts to get the desired texture and glazed diamonds may come up. This is common on very hard concrete so an abrasive texture can be used.
Step 4. Application (if any) By this part of the process, stains or beautifully stamped concrete overlays are a popular addition to the polished surfaces. Try adding a paver like a pattern or a herringbone outline over your decks. A cult fave would be a custom scoreline paired with a sandy or husky brown concrete stain. Whatever technique you decide on, your decks will shine bright without painfully burning your feet from absorbing all the heat.
