How concrete grinding can produce a great looking, low maintainance floor for your building
Is your concrete floor no longer looking its best or do you have an uneven concrete surface that you need to level before you can install tiling or a wooden floor? If you have concrete under your existing floor and are looking for a way of adding a distinctive character to your office, warehouse, or showroom then why not consider grinding it and returning your concrete floor to its former glory. Grinding the concrete will create a new flat surface that is free of blemishes and provide a hard-wearing, affordable and attractive flooring for your building that will require minimal maintenance, but will look great and last much longer than a tiled floor.
Concrete grinding to restore your floor
A concrete floor that has been subject to high levels of traffic will eventually begin to display signs of wear, but with the right concrete grinding equipment it can be restored to look like new again. Grinding will expose the raw concrete under the surface and open the pores so that the floor is ready to be professionally finished. If you decide to seal the floor you will be removing the micro-roughness of the floor and virtually eliminating the accumulation of future dust and producing a finished surface that is smooth and simple to maintain. You might also choose to finish the concrete floor by coating it, or simply painting it. Choose whichever option will best suit your environment.
Concrete grinding to prepare for a new floor
If you prefer not to choose a concrete floor then you may still need to grind your concrete to level the surface for whatever you will lay on the concrete. Concrete grinding can be used to remove high spots in the concrete to permit a wooden floor to be installed. To accomplish this grinding effectively it is important to hire an experienced concrete grinder with the right tools. Grinding requires heavy equipment, including a diamond grinder to tackle the concrete and produce the smooth surface that you will need. You will also need a commercial grade vacuum to remove all of the dust that grinding inevitable produces.
However you decide to treat your concrete surface after grinding, you can be sure that your newly ground concrete will last for many years before you will need to think about re-grinding or engaging in any significant maintenance. Concrete grinding is the most effective way to create a great looking floor for your building or level concrete surface for further work.
