1. Do You Serve Residential Clients?

We serve residential properties with concrete grinding, surface preparation, and polishing services. Our residential concrete floor finishing will transform your old ageing concrete floor into a beautiful and modern floor that looks like upscale granite. It will also have a unique look and design that’s exclusively yours.

Although most people prefer more conventional flooring options like hardwood, tile, or carpeting, polished concrete flooring is rising in popularity for various reasons.

  • Polished concrete floors are easy to maintain.
  • Compared to hardwood or carpeting, polished concrete doesn’t retain elements like allergens, toxins, and moisture and improves air quality.
  • It’s surprisingly cost-effective to use concrete polishing in Toronto — even for homeowners.
  • Unlike tiling, hardwood, or carpeting, polished concrete floors have extended longevity with the correct maintenance.
  • Years from now, your polished concrete floor can look like new with a wipe from a mop and a bucket, unlike other types of floors that may have to be replaced.

2. How Does Floor Polishing Work?

The concrete polishing process involves multiple steps and is almost like sanding wood. First, our team grinds a concrete floor until it’s smooth enough for the next step. We can even grind the concrete until you notice an aggregate pattern if that’s what you prefer.

Next, our team of licensed professionals uses sophisticated machines to remove marks, pits, and flaws from your concrete floor. Once we achieve the right level of sheen with our fine grits, we use a sealing chemical to enhance the concrete floor’s structural integrity and fill any blemishes from the grinding.

Our team expertly removes these blemishes to give your floor a perfect finish. We may also use a sealant that adds to your concrete floor’s water and stain resistance.

Finally, we begin polishing with the finest grits to achieve the perfect glossy finish. For a spectacular finish, we may use one of the highest grits on the market.

3. How Does Epoxy Flooring Work?

Epoxy flooring is a material that gives your floor an extra gorgeous finish. It also enhances the durability of your concrete floor further. After your concrete floor is prepared, a mixture of a resin and hardening substance is expertly applied.

An epoxy floor is strong, stain-resistant, and glossy. As the chemical takes effect, your floor is hardened and beautified. Epoxy flooring is found in mechanic shops, warehouses, showroom floors, schools, hospitals, and factories. In residences, it can improve living rooms, kitchens, and garages.

The main advantage of epoxy flooring is that it’s cost-effective, especially when compared to other more expensive finishes. However, it still looks great! In addition, chemical spills are easier to clean on epoxy flooring.
