Polished Concrete

The Stone Heritage Polished Concrete System is a process that is applied after the concrete is Honed.

The Stone Heritage Polished Concrete System is a sequence of steps that uses a combination of diamond grinding machinery and penetrating sealants that are applied during the polishing process. This sealant penetrates into the pours of the concrete and forms a gel locking up the free lime and calcium which hardens and densifies the surface of the concrete. This enables us to continue polishing and reach a 3000 grit diamond cut, we then apply an advanced lithium silicate that is buffed at high speed to create a great amount of heat hardening the floor further and resulting in a high gloss finish.

“Polished Concrete” by definition can only be achieved at 1800 grit and above and results in a refined ‘polished’ surface that does not require a polyurethane coating.

Stone Heritage Polished Concrete System is a unique flooring system that inculdes the following benefits:

Harder longer life concrete floor than other suppliers can provide using standard products.
Easy to clean. Polished Concrete has a low friction resistancy meaning that it is smoother and less likely to attract grime.
High scratch resistant, more so than other standard floor finishes.
Anti-static, unlike polyurethane’s that attracts dust, the healthier option
Friction driven. Foot traffic increases shine!
Low maintenance cost. To revive to original gloss we simply buff the floor again with our dustless machine.
Cost efficient. Initially costs more than standard Honed or Ground but far exceeds its life span and maintenance costs, costing you less in the long run.
Thermal mass properties of a polished concrete floor saves you on the heating bill when north facing windows allow the sun to heat the concrete which holds the heat when insulated.
