Grind & Seal Concrete

Grind & Seal is a cost-effective way to expose and enhance the natural character of concrete. The surface is mechanically ground to the desired level of aggregate exposure, then protected with a clear topical sealer to create the finished appearance.

Best suited for
Homes, garages, retail spaces, cafés, showrooms, offices and light commercial areas where a polished concrete look is desired without the full mechanical polishing process.

Maintenance
Easy to clean and maintain with routine vacuuming and mopping. The protective sealer helps resist staining and makes everyday cleaning simple. Depending on traffic and use, the sealer may require periodic recoating over time.

Durability
Highly durable when the correct sealer system is selected for the environment. Unlike mechanically polished concrete, the finished surface relies on a protective topical coating, which can wear over time but can also be refreshed without replacing the floor.

Finish Options
Available with varying levels of aggregate exposure, from a light or cream grind through to full exposure, with matte, satin or gloss sealer options.


Our Process

01 — Assess & Prepare
We inspect the concrete, identify repairs or contaminants and determine the desired level of aggregate exposure and finished appearance.

02 — Grind
The concrete is mechanically ground using industrial diamond tooling to remove the surface layer and expose the desired amount of aggregate.

03 — Refine & Repair
The floor is progressively refined to remove heavy grinding marks, with cracks, holes and minor imperfections repaired where required.

04 — Clean & Prepare
The surface is thoroughly cleaned and prepared to ensure proper adhesion and an even finish from the selected sealer system.

05 — Seal & Protect
A protective sealer is applied to enhance the concrete and protect against staining and everyday wear, with matte, satin or gloss finishes available depending on the system.
