Concrete grinding
With our expertise in complete flooring renovations, we deliver a thorough service from the initial consultation to the final handover.
The POLISANIER® approach
The POLISANIER® treatment is a specialized system utilizing ride-on grinding machines, which makes it possible to achieve large numbers of squaremeters per day, which in turn makes it extremely cost-effective
Our concrete grinding & polishing system is tailored to improve the durability, appearance, and wear resistance of concrete floors and this treatment is especially favored in industrial and commercial environments, where floors are subjected to heavy traffic and must retain a polished, professional look.
Our goal is always to deliver a fully functional and durable surface that stands the test of time, and to achieve this, we offer a range of services tailored to address any flooring challenge.
And the best part is, you don’t have to worry: We handle the entire floor assessment process, so it’s one less thing for you to think about.
FLOOR ASESSMENT
Before beginning the project, we perform a detailed assessment of the floor’s condition. This crucial step helps identify areas that need special attention and determines the appropriate polishing level required for optimal results. We also determine if repairs are needed
FLOOR PREPARATION
Every exceptional finish begins with thorough preparation. We remove existing coatings or residues, ensuring the surface is clean and ready for polishing. Additionally, we repair cracks and imperfections to deliver a flawless, seamless result.
GRINDING - REMOVING TOP-LAYER
We use specialized machinery and progressively finer diamond discs to grind the surface through multiple stages. With each stage, the floor’s smoothness is refined, enhancing its shine and achieving a flawlessly smooth texture.
DENSIFICATION OF FLOOR
To boost the floor’s durability and strength, we apply a liquid densifier. This solution penetrates the concrete, triggering a chemical reaction that solidifies and compacts its components, making the floor significantly harder and dustproof.
SEALER APPLICATION
At this stage, we apply a sealer to protect the concrete against stains and external elements, enhancing its durability and preserving its appearance for better protection over time. We only use water-based products to protect the environment
POLISHING TO FINISH
With the surface nearing perfection, we perform the final stages of polishing, achieving a sleek, glossy, and durable finish, as determined by the client. We normally polish to a high shine but other options are also available, if you are looking for a different look

LONG-TERM SAVINGS
The efficiency of a POLISANIER® floor is exceptional compared to other industrial floors. Maintenance costs/works will be significantly reduced, tire wear minimized, and natural light will be reflected if you choose the finish Light Shine or High Shine.
DGNB CONFORMING
Polished concrete uses existing concrete surfaces, no coatings or overlays, thus promoting sustainable construction. In addition, it contains no VOCs (volatile organic compounds), making it environmentally friendly and LEED (Global Green Building Certification Programme) compliant.
LASTING POWER
With enhanced abrasion resistance, your concrete floor's lifespan is significantly prolonged. Investing in a POLISANIER® treatment is minimal compared to the substantial gains in functionality and performance and significantly reduced maintenance costs.
DUST-PROOF
We offer a 10-year warranty against dust, ensuring you benefit from a dust-free floor for years to come. And believe us - Your employees will thank you as this significantly reduces dust allergens
CLEAN
Densifying the floor screed effectively seals the concrete pores within the floor, significantly reducing the risk of oil and liquid penetration. This process prevents contaminants from seeping in and staining the floor.
ENERGY EFFICIENT
Increased floor reflectivity instantly makes the space brighter and lowers the need for additional lighting, resulting in reduced energy costs
UNINTERUPTED OPERATIONS
Free from toxic or hazardous chemicals, it allows for seamless installation without causing any downtime to your operation. In other words – we will work with you in order to make this installation as smooth as possible
ANTI-SLIP SURFACE
Polished concrete is certified as non-slip, ensuring greater safety for workers. It offers a smooth and shiny finish while remaining safe and slip-resistant.
HIGH TRAFFIC RESILIENT
A significant improvement in surface hardness is achieved, enhancing resistance to heavy traffic of forklift trucks, foot-traffic, impacts, and abrasion from such.
