How beneficial they can be

Concrete has now become the most popular choice in flooring among residential as well as commercial properties. This type of flooring has many other benefits such as flexibility, durability and a sophisticated look. Therefore, in case you want to polish it using a concrete polishing machine then I think that is indeed a great idea since it cleans out the floor completely by giving it that extra brilliance in colour and texture.

 

 

How is the process carried out?

The below explanation will clear your confusions and doubts regarding the process of grinding and polishing. At first, the process of grinding is carried out where the surface of the concrete is ground and then completed by making it even from all the sides and giving it a smooth finish. Once this process is completed, a polishing machine is used to polish the stone from all the sides. In this way, these two steps are involved to bring out more colours and design to the concrete flooring.

 

Process of Polish

During this step of the process, a concrete grinder is used to perform the grinding job through different rotating discs that have small pieces of diamonds attached to the metal matrix. These discs then rotate in the horizontal direction to smoothen and polish the surface. If we talk about the discs then you get it in a variety of hardness, shapes, and concentrations to work as per their requirement.  

If you have decided to hire one from an equipment hire company then you need to discuss which type of model you are looking for and what is the purpose you are looking for along with the appropriate accessories needed. As discussed you get different types of machines in the market that come with different power options and built in systems to throw water for both wet and dry applications. Along with this you also get attachments that have the feature of vacuuming for dust-free grinding and rear wheels that can be adjusted as per the type of use.

Types of Polishing technique

The process of polishing involves the use of finer diamonds that are run over the applied concrete only to get a clear and glossy finish. There are two different ways still to polish the concrete. The first type is a process that involves 10 stages where the concrete is grounded till all the air holes or pin holes are filled up completely using a hardener. The second type is semi polished concrete where the concrete is crushed till the holes are filled up using fine diamonds. The sealer used here helps the flooring to get a polished look through their layer of sealer forms. At some point in time, you might even have to reseal the sealer every 2 to 3 years and it all depends on how and where you used it.

No matter what type of polishing machine you use, but it all depends on the final finish and proper mixing of gravel, sand, water and concrete during polishing. Polishers for various concrete surfaces are the same that are used for polishing any other type of marble or stone or granite. Whatever surface it is, pads according to the type of use are used to polish and buff them.
