Concrete polishing is a flooring system that provides a long-lasting and low maintenance solution to any concrete sub-floor. The process involves the mechanical grinding of the concrete slab which refines the concrete surface with the use of the diamond grinding stones. The stones are increasingly refined to finer grades which progressively reveals a highly polished finish. The resulting floor is easy to clean, is environmentally friendly and extremely hard wearing. It is perfect for high foot traffic and heavy machinery especially for industrial applications, for example; warehouses and engineering facilities, but can easily be applied to many other situations.

When installing flooring systems we have to traverse the issue of moisture content in the floor slab. A liquid application of damp proof membrane enables protection for moisture sensitive floor finishes and facilitates protection on concrete and other cementicious screeds from substrates within the slab.

These systems provide a quick-to-apply floor coating which offers the client a simple yet highly effective solution. Our installation processes are simple, fast and effective yet ensure that disruption and access to operations are kept to a minimum.

Floor preparation is the key to any successful job and within the flooring industry this is imperative. Using our own Terrco grinders in conjunction with diamond grinding stones to afford us the best possible surface on which to install a coating. We utilise a variety of techniques to facilitate a maximum bond using specialist equipment, this allows us to clean off residues on the floor surface and any oils, greases or existing floor coatings and debris. Our grinders are linked to HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaners to remove all latent dust created by the grinding.

In the manufacturing sector the factors associated with choosing a floor coating are client-driven. Epoxy coatings are widely utilised in these particular instances due in part to the diverse spectrum of colours and finishes along with its excellent durability and abrasive qualities. Aggrgates can easily be incorporated to achieve non-slip finishes to where required, specialist primers can be utilised if the conditions deem it necessary due to either oil or chemical contamination. Epoxy coatings also afford the client the easy implementation of demarcation areas and lines specifying specific areas or walkways.
