A Guide to Polishing Concrete Floors-Exposed Design Group
At Exposed Design Group, we believe that concrete floors can be more than just a functional surface—they can be a statement of style and durability. Our expertise in grinding and polishing concrete floors transforms ordinary concrete into a visually stunning and highly durable surface, perfect for both commercial and residential spaces.
The Beauty of Polished Concrete
Concrete has rapidly gained popularity as a preferred flooring option, and for good reason. It’s not only incredibly durable, standing up to high traffic and heavy use, but it also offers significant cost savings compared to traditional flooring materials like tile, vinyl, or wood. When polished, concrete becomes even more desirable, combining functionality with aesthetic appeal. Polished concrete provides a sleek, modern look that enhances any space, whether it’s an office, retail environment, or home.
Polished concrete is also an environmentally friendly option. By using low or no VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) sealers, polished concrete qualifies as a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) finish, contributing to a healthier indoor environment. This makes it an excellent choice for builders and property owners who prioritize sustainability.
Our Polishing Process
Exposed Design Group offers two primary methods of concrete polishing: Topical Polishing and Dry Mechanical Polishing. Each method has its unique benefits, allowing us to tailor our services to your specific needs and budget.
Topical Polishing
involves applying a coating to the surface of the concrete, providing a glossy finish that enhances the floor’s appearance. This method is cost-effective and offers a range of sheens from matte to high gloss, depending on your preference.
Dry Mechanical Polishing
is a more intensive process that grinds down the concrete surface to reveal the aggregate beneath, creating a beautiful, natural look. This method produces a highly durable surface that’s easy to maintain and improves the floor’s reflectivity, which can reduce energy consumption by enhancing natural and artificial lighting.
We also offer decorative elements such as color dye, allowing you to customize the look of your polished concrete floor to match your design goals. Whether you’re aiming for a sleek, modern look or something more traditional, we can help you achieve the perfect finish.
Benefits Beyond Beauty
Polished concrete floors aren’t just about looks—they offer numerous practical benefits as well. They are stain-resistant and improve the condition of old or worn-out floors, breathing new life into tired surfaces. Polished concrete also increases slip resistance, making it a safer option for high-traffic areas. Plus, maintaining polished concrete is a breeze, requiring only minimal upkeep to keep it looking its best.

Our state-of-the-art equipment and skilled team ensure that every project we undertake meets our exacting standards of excellence.
