We specialise in Concrete Polishing, Grind and Seal, Epoxy Flooring, Sealants, Concrete Grinding and Adhesive (glue)/Paint removal for; commercial, industrial and residential customers. Concrete & Polishing Services Concrete Polishing Polished Concrete is the combination of three different technologies applied to a concrete surface. By combining advancements in floor grinding machines, chemicals and the latest resin diamond technologies, we are now able to produce spectacular high grade surface finishes with wearing properties unlike any other. Concrete Grinding Our Diamond Grinding tools contain diamond segments for grinding through a wide variety of materials which other cutting tools cannot. The segments are composed of diamond crystals and powder metal which form the bond, or ‘matrix’, of the segments. The bond is one of the main factors when selecting which tool to use for diamond grinding a certain material depending on how hard, or abrasive, the material is. The bond is what decides the rate at which the metallic powders wear down and expose new diamond crystals at the surface to maintain what would be considered a “sharp” edge. For grinding hard materials, a diamond blade with a soft bond would be needed. This means the metallic powders in the segments (teeth) of the diamond blade wear fast enough to release old, dull crystals, exposing new diamond at the edges to continue cutting efficiently. Inversely, to cut a soft abrasive material like asphalt or freshly poured concrete, you would need to use a diamond blade with a hard bond. The diamonds used in our tools are synthetic or natural industrial diamond of different grain sizes and shapes. Epoxy Flooring Epoxy is used primarily as a floor covering, and forms a hard, shiny surface upon application. Epoxy flooring is particularly popular in garages and showroom floors due to its strength and resistance to damage. Like all epoxy products, it is a two-part system, composed of both a resin and a hardener, with colour added to provide the desired finish. Epoxy flooring offers many advantages over other flooring options. Because epoxy acts as both filler and a coating, it can be applied to rough or uneven surfaces. It is also waterproof, and highly resistant to rust, acid, chemicals, heat, and corrosion. Surfaces coated with epoxy paint are also able to withstand higher levels of traffic and abuse, including cars, forklifts, and heavy equipment. Epoxy is easy to clean, and will not stain. Epoxy paint application is extremely durable and long-lasting in comparison to its relatively low cost. Grind and Seal Grind and Seal is where we Grind the Concrete to the desired amount and then apply a surface coating to the floor to protect the concrete. Grind and seal can be used in any application requiring a low maintenance, heavy duty, UV and stain resistant floor. Coatings that can be used are Polyurethane, Acrylic and Epoxy and also come in Matt, Satin, Semi- Gloss and Full Gloss.
