Index — 004 / Process

Six steps, one specification.

Polishing is a manufacturing process, not a finish. Our protocol is documented, repeatable, and warrantied for ten years.

  1. 01

    Site Assessment

    We test the slab for hardness, moisture, and aggregate distribution. You receive a written report and finish recommendation within five business days.

  2. 02

    Mock-ups

    We polish a 1.2 × 1.2 m sample on your slab so you can approve the actual finish — not a photograph, not a chart, the real floor.

  3. 03

    Prep & Crack Repair

    Voids, joints, and cracks are routed and filled with semi-rigid polyurea. Existing coatings are mechanically removed.

  4. 04

    Grind & Hone

    Diamond passes progress from 30 grit through 400 grit, flattening the slab and exposing the chosen aggregate profile.

  5. 05

    Densify & Polish

    Lithium silicate is applied between resin pad passes from 800 to 3000 grit, locking in density and clarity.

  6. 06

    Protect & Handover

    A penetrating guard is applied, the floor is burnished, and a maintenance binder is provided so the finish can be cared for properly.
