Why Hire Professionals?

The polished concrete process is not as simple as it looks. Southside Concrete Polishing knows the right procedures for the pouring and curing process. Timing is crucial in the installation of polished concrete.

  • Before pouring, air bubbles will be removed by vibrating the concrete.
  • While pouring concrete, it will be leveled and incorporated into expansion joints to prevent cracking.
  • A Power float (trowel machine) is used to create a smooth concrete floor surface which is done at the right time during the curing period when it is still a bit wet.

The entire polished concrete process takes more than a week to complete. The surface of the polished concrete floor needs to be protected against any possible damage while in the curing stage. This job is only for highly skilled and trained polished concrete installers.  Polished concrete comes with a variety of options that can be customized. It is not only a great flooring option for commercial and industrial settings but for residential properties as well!  Southside Industrial Concrete Polishing uses a multi-step diamond polishing process to achieve a polished concrete floor that will provide any room with the texture and warmth that no other flooring material can match.  Polished concrete adds elegance to commercial and industrial spaces. When polished concrete is processed to a high gloss finish, it can mimic the look of granite or marble yet have its own unique personality.  The lustrous sheen of polished concrete overlays will make any floor space in the home look aesthetically appealing at an affordable price.
