Polished Concrete floors

What Is Polished Concrete?

Polished concrete is a sleek, modern flooring solution created by mechanically grinding and refining the surface of concrete using diamond abrasives. The process enhances the natural strength of the concrete while creating a smooth, glossy finish that’s highly durable and easy to maintain. Depending on the level of shine and aggregate exposure you prefer, polished concrete can be customized to suit both functional and aesthetic goals—making it a popular choice for homeowners and business owners alike.

Polished concrete finishes

Polished concrete floors offer incredible versatility when it comes to design. Whether you're after a clean, modern appearance or something more rustic and classic, polished concrete can be tailored to match your unique style. At James Shealey Flooring and Concrete Coatings, we offer a range of popular finishes, including:

Full Or Exposed Aggregate Finish

This finish involves grinding down the surface to reveal the natural stone and gravel within the concrete. It creates a textured, granite-like look that’s slip-resistant, extremely durable, and ideal for high-traffic areas. It also holds up well in tough weather and offers various texture options.

Salt and Pepper

This finish lightly grinds the concrete surface to reveal fine aggregate particles just below the top layer, creating a subtle, speckled appearance—often called a salt-and-pepper look. Unlike the matte texture of exposed aggregate, this style is polished to a high-gloss shine. It’s durable, light-reflective, and adds a sleek, modern touch, making it a popular choice for retail stores, showrooms, restaurants, and residential homes.
