From 2015 to 2017, during the early years of running my construction company, NAB Contractors, I received frequent requests from both residential and commercial clients seeking affordable, durable, and low-maintenance flooring solutions. Many faced ongoing issues with worn or damaged floors and needed an option that offered both longevity and visual appeal. After thorough industry research, I discovered polished concrete flooring—a versatile solution known for its strength, modern aesthetic, and minimal upkeep requirements. Recognizing its potential to transform both residential and commercial spaces, I combined my extensive experience in industrial concrete surface bed installation and finishing to launch GrindKing. Our mission is to provide high-quality polished concrete floors that not only enhance the appearance of a space but also deliver unmatched durability and long-term value for our clients.
What is Polished Concrete?
Polished concrete is a multi-step process where a concrete floor is mechanically ground, honed and polished with bonded abrasives in order to cut a concrete floor’s surface. It is then refined with each cut in order to achieve a specified level of appearance.
What kind of surface can be Polished?
Concrete that has been correctly floated, finished and has a strength of 25MPA or more. Is suitable to be ground and Polished.
What are the advantages of Polished Concrete?
Low-maintenance: polished concrete is easily maintained with the use of clean water or a neutral pH cleaner. There are also many cleaners designed for the proper maintenance of polished concrete available. There is never a need for wax to be added as it will only dull the finish.
Non slippery: due to high coefficient of friction.
Dust-proof: minimizing risks dust mites and allergy problems; excludes support of mold growth.
Ambient light: highly reflective polished concrete reduces lighting needs and can improve natural lighting.
