How do you get a burnished concrete finish?

Burnished concrete is the polished concrete finish where there is no aggregate exposed. This is achieved by a few steps. First the concrete when placed must be placed as level as possible as we are not removing any material from the surface any high's and lows will remain in the concrete. If your floor isn't laid flat when you look across it, it will look like the ripple of an ocean.

Traditional polished concrete is the polished concrete that is first ground and then sealed with a topical sealer. This is hte best option for softer types of concrete like 20 and 25MPA. This is also a type of polished concrete and the DIYer can achieve themselves. YouTube is your friend !!! Once all the grinding is finished its time to choose a sealer. There are literally hundreds of different sealers on the market how do you choose? Its important to break it down on the area of application first. Is it inside or outside? IF outside you are going to want to use a more impregnating sealer otherwise it will be super slippery when wet. Inside you choice is wider. Do you want it glossy or more of a satin finish? Do you want a sealer that darkens the concrete gives it a wet look or do you prefer the more natural colour?

Our projects have ranged from simple tile removal and floor preparation through to the high end finishes seen in architectural homes like those featured in our award winning homes below. When working on some of our award winning architectural homes we are involved from the very begining before the concrete is ever poured. This allows for the best outcome and to minimise artefacts. .

Our Commercial and retail projects often we are working with concrete that is pre-existing. Diagrind ® however will work with what is there to bring out the best possible outcome for our clients. One very important factor in retail and commercial is time. Diagrind ® uses the best equipment on the market to ensure every project is completed in time and on budget.
