Polished concrete is made by first grinding the surface of the concrete to remove any imperfections. After that step is complete, a concrete polishing machine uses diamond polishing pads to create a smooth and durable surface that matches your desired sheen, whether it’s a low-lustre matte, a glossy-mirror like finish, or anything in between.
