Polished Concrete

Polished concrete

Polished concrete is a concrete floor which has been mechanically ground, honed and polished with bonded abrasives in order to achieve a desired level of sheen or gloss.

Polishing

Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface by rubbing it or by applying a chemical treatment, leaving a clean surface with a significant specular reflection. In some materials, polishing is also able to reduce diffuse reflection to minimal values.

Concrete

Concrete is a composite material composed of aggregate bound together with a fluid cement that cures to a solid. It is the second-most-used substance, the most widely used building material, and the most-manufactured material in the world. Cement-bound concrete differs from the less rigid, less durable asphaltic concrete, which has a bituminous binder.
