Our Concrete Polishing Process

Miyagi Construction plans concrete polishing around the existing slab and the intended use of your space. The sequence and tooling depend on concrete hardness, coatings, damage and the agreed exposure and sheen.

1. Assess the Floor and Specify the Finish

We review slab condition, previous flooring, cracks, repairs and access. Aggregate exposure and gloss are selected separately. A sample area can help establish realistic expectations for colour, aggregate distribution and visible patches.

2. Prepare and Repair

Preparation may involve removing coatings or adhesives and repairing agreed defects. Existing movement, contamination or structural concerns can require additional assessment. Not every stain or flooring outline can be removed, and repairs may remain visible.

3. Grind With Diamond Tooling

Mechanical grinding prepares and refines the surface to suit the specified exposure. The tooling and number of passes vary with the slab; a fixed grinding depth does not guarantee a uniform aggregate pattern.

4. Densify and Refine

A compatible densifier is applied at the appropriate stage according to the selected system. Progressive refinement with finer tooling develops the agreed finish. Densification does not replace structural repairs or make concrete waterproof.

5. Protect, Inspect and Hand Over

Where specified, a compatible guard or protective treatment is applied following its instructions. We review the result and explain cleaning, maintenance and return-to-service requirements for the installed system.

Planning Access and Timing

Floor area, edge work, repairs, access, working hours and product waiting periods affect the schedule. Let us know about occupied areas, other trades and opening dates when requesting a quotation.

Choose the Right Floor System

Mechanical polishing can suit many dry interior floors. Exterior areas, wet spaces and chemically exposed floors need separate consideration. Grind-and-seal and resin coatings are different systems with different performance and maintenance requirements.
