Concrete grinding and polishing is the term used to describe the process of smoothing down rough concrete surfaces to reveal a smooth and shiny surface. This process requires the use of heavy duty concrete grinding machines and  diamond impregnated discs  or  segments , which resemble a durable sandpaper. During the concrete grinding process, the discs are gradually replaced with finer grit discs in order to produce a high shine or smoothness.  Therefore, the concrete polishing process is really simply the final stages of the concrete grinding process using the finest grit discs in order to achieve a high shine finish. During the final concrete polishing stage, a polishing compound may be applied to help clean any residue remaining on the surface and give the floor additional sheen. When used together, concrete grinding and polishing can result in a smooth, striking surface that resembles polished stone.           ...

The ultimate way to achieve the perfect shine for your concrete countertops and edges is to use diamond polishing pads. And to select the right  diamond polishing pad  is very important to get the good finish that you desire for your concrete slab. Several factors help choose the kind of diamond polishing pad required. Whether the material is stone or concrete, whether polishing is required on the edges or on the flat surface, whether wet polishing is needed or dry polishing is needed. Diamond polishing pads are available from a typical 3-inch pad to 7-inches size. A good one, however, is a 4-inch or 5-inch diamond polishing pad as it is stable on most flat surfaces and covers a proportionate area. While a smaller sized polishing pad is easiest to work with as it can be used in intricate areas because of its small size, a large diameter pad has its own uses. But, it is the 5 inch diamond polishing pads that is known for larger area polishing.   The points to consider whil...

In order to prepare concrete for adding a coating or even adding a fresh layer of concrete, you need to add heavy texturing in order to increase the surface area and improve the bonding capability. Otherwise your epoxy, coating, or concrete won’t adhere well, leading to time-consuming and costly repairs.                   It is considered to use the  bush hammering tools  to achieve a heavily textured concrete, since it can get the job done quickly and easily. A bush hammer is a masonry tool that has cone or pyramid-shaped points coming out of a flat or curved surface. The tool can either be manual, like at the end of a hammer or as a tool that fits on a floor grinder.  A bush hammer is often used in place of scabbling tools or stone flaming while still offering the aggressive profiling needed to prepare a surface for coating or create a non-slip concrete surface. In fact, using a bush hammer is ideal for achieving a concr...

Diamond grinding cup wheel   is made of diamond segments and iron cup base, the diamond segment could be welded on iron base or sintered with iron based completely. They are usually installed on handheld angle grinder and floor grinder machine. It is used for grinding concrete, terrazzo, granite, marble and other natural stone. There are different types and diameter of diamond grinding cup wheels for various applications. For concrete grinding, diamond grinding cup wheel has a range of different hardness on bonds, they are super hard, hard, medium, soft and super soft, various diamond grits, diamond quality and different diamond concentrations to suit different application. Hard bond for soft concrete, medium bond for medium concrete and soft bond for hard concrete. Grit The size of the grit also depends on the size of the diamond and the grain diameter. For finer grains, finishing is good, while for finer grains, finishing on the end face is poor. Generally, coarse surface grindin...

Terrazzo is one of the oldest flooring styles, but it’s still popular, even after all these years. In order to provide a smooth surface, marble or granite chips are set in concrete or cement and polished. Unlike marble or granite slabs, terrazzo offers the potential of innovative designs and color combinations, and does not compromise the strength of the floor in any way. The process of laying terrazzo floors is fairly simple, but still requires the use of the right tools to secure a floor that will last. Mix the marble and cement, or the other materials in use, pour it on the surface, ground it down flat, and smooth it out to the required finish. Next, apply a Terrazzo sealer, and multiple coats of floor wax or finish, as required. Whether it is a new floor or a restoration, terrazzo grinding and polishing are the two critical tasks, on which the finish of the floor rests. The standard method of terrazzo grinding is wet-grinding: 1. Ensure an even surface, by eliminating all grooves 2...
