Have Concrete Floors You Want to Polish?
Polished Concrete Floors
Polished concrete floors have become one of the most popular flooring options for Florida homes and businesses seeking durability, modern aesthetics, and low long-term maintenance. At Coast to Coast Terrazzo, our polished concrete floor service is designed for clients who want to remove existing carpet or other floor coverings and transform the concrete slab beneath into a clean, refined, and highly durable finished floor.
This service is especially common in Florida properties where carpet has been installed over concrete for decades. Once the carpet is removed, the underlying concrete often holds strong structural integrity and can be professionally ground, honed, and polished to create a sleek, contemporary surface without the need for new flooring materials.
What Are Polished Concrete Floors
Polished concrete is created through a mechanical process that grinds the surface of the concrete using diamond tooling, followed by honing and polishing to achieve the desired level of smoothness and sheen. Unlike coatings or surface finishes, polished concrete becomes part of the concrete itself, making it exceptionally durable and long lasting.
The final appearance can range from a subtle matte finish to a high-gloss polish, depending on the needs of the space. Aggregate exposure, surface smoothness, and reflectivity are all adjustable elements of the process.
When Polished Concrete is the Right Choice
Polished concrete floors are an ideal option in many situations, including:
• Homes where carpet is being removed for a cleaner, allergy-friendly surface
• Commercial spaces seeking a modern, professional appearance
• Retail, office, and hospitality environments with high foot traffic
• Properties looking for a long-term flooring solution with minimal upkeep
• Interior spaces where moisture resistance is important
Because Florida construction commonly uses concrete slabs, many properties are excellent candidates for polished concrete once existing flooring is removed.
Our Polished Concrete Floor Process
Our polished concrete service follows a proven, professional process to ensure consistent, high-quality results.
Surface preparation: We begin by removing carpet, padding, adhesives, and residues to expose the raw concrete slab. Any cracks, surface damage, or inconsistencies are evaluated and addressed to ensure a uniform finish.
Grinding: Diamond grinding tools are used to level the surface, remove imperfections, and prepare the concrete for refinement. This stage also determines how much aggregate is exposed, which can significantly impact the final appearance.
Honing: Honing smooths the surface further and begins to develop clarity and uniformity. This step removes fine scratches left from grinding and prepares the floor for polishing.
Polishing: Polishing brings out the final finish, whether matte, satin, or high gloss. This stage enhances light reflectivity and gives the floor its clean, refined appearance.
Optional sealing or densification: Depending on the project, a densifier or sealer may be applied to improve stain resistance, durability, and longevity without creating a topical coating.
Benefits of Polished Concrete Floors
Polished concrete offers a wide range of practical and aesthetic benefits.
• Extremely durable and resistant to wear
• Low maintenance compared to carpet or tile
• Moisture resistant and ideal for Florida conditions
• Modern, clean appearance that complements many design styles
• No waxes, coatings, or ongoing stripping required
• Improves indoor air quality by eliminating carpet fibers and dust
Because the finish is mechanically created, polished concrete does not peel, chip, or delaminate over time like coated floors.
Polished Concrete for Residential
In residential settings, polished concrete floors are commonly chosen for living rooms, kitchens, hallways, bedrooms, and entire homes during renovation projects. Homeowners appreciate the clean appearance, ease of cleaning, and long lifespan.
Polished concrete pairs well with area rugs, modern furniture, and open floor plans. It is also an excellent option for homeowners who want a seamless look throughout the home without transitions between different flooring materials.
Polished Concrete for Commercial Properties
Commercial clients often choose polished concrete for its professional appearance and durability. Offices, retail stores, restaurants, warehouses, and showrooms benefit from a floor that can handle heavy foot traffic while maintaining a polished, upscale look.
The reflective properties of polished concrete can also improve lighting efficiency by enhancing natural and artificial light within the space.
Maintenance and Care For Polished Concrete
Polished concrete floors are easy to maintain when properly cared for.
• Regular dust mopping or sweeping to remove debris
• Damp mopping with a neutral cleaner as needed
• Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools
• Periodic professional maintenance depending on traffic levels
With proper care, polished concrete floors can maintain their appearance for many years without the need for refinishing.
