Concrete lays in the foundations of every building whether it's your St Petersburg FL home, office or warehouse. This is why it's no surprise that polished concrete is taking over the interior design of many of Tampa's residential, commercial and industrial properties.
Concrete on its own has superior durability and performance but it can be hard to maintain when it is in its original form. When first laid as a flooring, concrete is porous and prone to dusting, staining and chipping. Water and liquids can quickly soak into it and cause damage.
At Epoxy Flooring Tampa Florida we use a multi-step process that includes mechanically grinding and honing the concrete surface and then polishing it using diamond discs to cut the surface of the concrete floor. This process creates different levels of stone exposure and shine, while hardening the concrete slab and sealing it to protect it from damage.
The end result is a luxurious decorative concrete floor that comes with a ton of benefits. Our polished concrete floors St Petersburg FL are ideal not only for residential homes, but also for commercial properties such as retail stores, grocery stores, bars, restaurants, hotels, office buildings, logistical centers, distribution centers, warehouses, manufacturing facilities and many more.

Almost any structurally sound concrete floor can be polished, whether it is brand new or 100 years old. Newly laid concrete floors can be polished after 28 days of being installed.
We start by mechanically grinding the concrete floor until we have removed all dirt, grime, oil, glue, paint and stains.
At this stage, we also aim to reveal any stones in the concrete slab.
Once the concrete is fully ground we repair all cracks and holes in the floor. Repairing the cracks and holes gives the finished floor an extra charm while preserving its structural integrity.
Once the concrete slab is ready and the stones exposed we make many passes over the floor using a variety of diamond grits. We then fill up any remaining holes and cracks with concrete grout before finishing the first step with concrete hardener and allowing it to cure overnight.
Once the concrete hardener is cured we move on to diamond polishing pads and begin polishing the concrete to the desired sheen using a series of grits. The final step is to clean the floor and apply a stain guard then burnish it, resulting in a beauftiful decorative concrete surface.
