Galaxy Polished Concrete Flooring - The Premium Finish

​

 Galaxy Mechanically Polished Concrete option is our premium polished concrete process having the smoothest feel with a selection of finish options from a soft Matte or Satin look to a Semi-Gloss or Gloss look with a mirror finish.

 “Polished concrete” is different to “Grind & Seal” as there is no topcoat sealer applied, therefore no need for re-sealing in the future, there is also no curing or drying time so polished concrete can be walked on as soon as the process is completed.   

  Polished Concrete Flooring has a smooth glass / granite-like appearance and texture whilst still having a natural look and occasional minor imperfect characteristics similarly found in Terrazzo or Stone adding to the elegance.  The sleek contemporary look of polished concrete is why it is such a popular flooring choice for businesses and residential properties.

What is Polished Concrete?

​

Mechanically Polished Concrete is a process of 3 different technologies to produce the finest hardwearing concrete surface finish.

With the Polished Concrete process, we harden and strengthen the concrete in a multiple-stage process using densifiying treatments that are absorbed into the concrete.  The concrete densifiers react with the calcium hydroxide (CH) (the quicklime & water content within the concrete mix) to form Calcium Silicate Hydrate (CSH) turning standard porous concrete into hard dense concrete that can be polished.  The surface of the concrete is polished using heavy-duty grinding equipment in multiple stages in a Refining Process using diamond tooling and resin pads. 

The polishing process involves between 12 and 17+ separate steps depending on the level of shine preference, creating an extremely hard smooth surface. 

With Polished Concrete, it is the concrete itself that shines and because there is no topcoat sealer applied Polished Concrete does not scratch, peel or wear off over time.
