Benefits Of Polishing & Sealing Your Concrete Floors
Benefits of Concrete Polishing
Concrete polishing gives you a strong and easy to care for floor. It works well in busy spaces and holds up over time.
Main benefits:
Hardens the concrete to resist scratches, cracks, and heavy traffic, extending its life
Makes it easier to clean by smoothing and densifying the concrete surface
Improves the look of the space with a polished finish that reflects light and helps brighten rooms
Mechanically polished concrete, when done correctly, has a high dynamic coefficient of friction and adds slip resistance
Resists stains and chemicals like oil, water, and common spills
Improves air quality by reducing dust, mold, and allergens
Cost and time efficient option compared to coatings and other flooring types
Eco friendly option that uses existing concrete and reduces waste

Our Concrete Polishing & Sealing Process
At Royal Coatings of Ottawa, concrete polishing is done with precision and proper preparation. We focus on correct grinding, densifying, and finishing to create a smooth, durable floor that lasts for years.
Step 1
Crack and Surface Repair
We begin by filling any cracks, divots, or surface damage using a durable filler. The filler is mixed with concrete dust from your floor so repairs blend in as closely as possible, creating a smooth and even surface before grinding.
Step 2
Grinding the Concrete Surface
Next, we grind the concrete using professional grinders and metal bonded diamond tools. We start with coarse grits to remove imperfections, then move to finer grits to flatten the surface and prepare it for polishing.
Step 3
Applying a Concrete Densifier
Once the floor is properly ground, we apply a chemical hardener to densify the concrete. This treatment fills surface pores, increases strength, and creates a more uniform base for polishing.
Step 4
Initial Polishing with Resin Diamonds
Step 5
Increasing Grit for Desired Finish
We continue polishing by increasing grit levels step by step until the desired finish is reached. This can range from a matte or satin look to a high gloss finish, depending on the space and your preference.
Step 6
Sealing and Final Protection
The final step is applying a high quality sealant to protect the polished concrete. This helps resist stains, improves durability, and makes the floor easy to clean and maintain for years to come.

FAQS
Common Questions About Concrete Polishing
Will The Floor Look Perfectly Even And Uniform?
Can Cracks And Surface Flaws Be Removed Completely?
Does The Original Concrete Mix Affect The Final Result?
Yes. The original concrete mix plays a major role. Aggregate size, cement content, and how the slab was finished affect the final look, including aggregate exposure and reflectivity. These factors are set during the original pour and cannot be changed later.
What If The Floor Is Uneven Or Wavy?
Minor uneven areas can often be improved through grinding and leveling techniques. Floors that were poured with poor flatness or levelness may still show waves once polished. Correcting major issues can require additional work such as self leveling compounds to be poured and may change how the final floor will look.
What Happens If The Concrete Is Soft Or Weak?
Concrete strength depends on how it was cured when first poured. If a slab is soft, we apply chemical densifiers to harden the surface and improve performance. While densifying helps greatly, very weak concrete will still not achieve the same finish as stronger slabs.
Can Old Stains, Glue, Or Coatings Cause Issues?
Yes. Oil, paint, glue, and other contaminants can affect the final appearance. We remove as much as possible during grinding, but some discoloration or shadowing may remain depending on how deep the material penetrated the slab.
Is Polished Concrete Slippery?
When polished correctly, concrete has good traction. We also use proper grit finishes and can apply sealers that improve slip resistance when needed.
Will The Finish Hold Up Over Time?
Yes. With proper installation, sealing, and basic care, polished concrete holds up well for many years. Harsh cleaners or poor maintenance can reduce its appearance over time.
Can Every Concrete Floor Be Polished?
Most concrete floors can be polished, but not every slab is ideal for a high gloss finish. This is why we assess the surface first and explain what results you can realistically expect.
How Do Existing Conditions Affect The Final Result?
The condition of the existing slab plays a big role in the outcome. Factors like age, past use, and how the concrete was originally finished can influence the final look. We evaluate the floor first and adjust our process to work with these conditions as effectively as possible.
