In the last decade, polished concrete floors have become one of the most popular flooring solutions for the construction of luxury homes. One of the main benefits of polished concrete floors is their ability to achieve a wide variety of finishes. When architects and builders design new homes, they specify countless details -- including the use of concrete floors to help increase the property value and aesthetic appeal. For assistance in achieving the perfect finish in your house, contact Scout's Custom Concrete in Greensboro, NC for a consultation.
Diamond grinding tools are used to grind a concrete slab repeatedly with successively finer diamonds to create polished concrete floors.
'Cutting' is the first step, which involves grinding aggressively to remove defects and smooth out the floor surface. Depending on the desired finish and concrete mix and pour quality, the number of cutting steps will vary. During this stage, the concrete can be exposed to stone aggregate.
Stains, dyes, or pigments can be added to concrete floors to add color...like the beautiful grey colors used in the project photos above. We hope you enjoyed seeing the beauty in this polished concrete project and if you have any questions just give us a call!
