Concrete Polishing in Polaris, Columbus, OH

Yes, high gloss is possible on a good slab. Resin diamonds take the floor through finer grits until it reflects lights and windows. Flat, newer slabs reach high gloss more easily. A guard and regular burnishing help keep the shine.

Usually, yes. Newer slabs tend to be flatter and have no old coatings, so grinding moves quickly. The result is often a clean salt-and-pepper look. A moisture test confirms the slab is ready if it was poured recently.
