## Polished Concrete for Commercial Spaces

Polished concrete turns an existing slab into a durable, low-maintenance finished floor. It suits retail units, showrooms, offices and warehouses where floors take heavy traffic and need to look good with minimal upkeep.

## How Concrete Is Polished

| Stage | Purpose | Result on the floor |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Coarse grinding | Removes coatings, adhesives and surface defects | Flat, open surface ready to refine |
| Crack and joint fill | Creates a continuous surface | Fewer edges to chip under carts and forklifts |
| Lithium densifier | Hardens and dustproofs the slab | No more concrete dust on stock and shelving |
| Fine grit sequence | Refines scratches to the target gloss | Matte, satin or high-gloss sheen as specified |
| Guard | Adds stain resistance | Spills wipe up instead of soaking in |

Codes + Standards

## Which Codes and Standards Apply to Polished Concrete in Toronto?

Toronto masonry is regulated work. These are the rules we build to on every polished concrete job, and why they matter to you.

### Grit Sequence

Each finer diamond removes the scratch pattern of the last.

### Lithium Densifier

Reacts with the concrete to harden and dustproof the surface.

### Slab Moisture Testing

Moisture is checked before guards and sealers are applied.

### Noise By-law

Grinding scheduled within City construction hours or permitted exemptions.

5-Stage Process

## How Does Our Polished Concrete Process Work?

Timeline: 2-10 days by area. Each stage lines up with a draw on your fixed-price contract, so you only pay for work that is done.
