Grind & Seal

Cost-Effective Grind and Seal Flooring

Choosing a grind and seal concrete floor is a budget-friendly way to protect and enhance commercial concrete floors. By mechanically grinding the concrete and applying a durable coating, this method provides reliable protection at a lower cost. If you prefer a more natural look, RS Surface Coatings can apply a clear sealer instead of a pigmented coating. This option is also cost-effective and helps preserve the concrete’s original appearance and texture, though it may reveal natural imperfections.

Cost-Effective Solution

A grind and seal concrete floor is more affordable than polished concrete. It offers a cost-effective way to protect and enhance concrete floors without the higher upfront investment, making it an ideal choice for projects with budget considerations.

Customizable Appearance

A grind and seal floor can be customized to achieve a matte, satin, or glossy appearance. The final look depends on the type of sealer used, giving you flexibility to match your space's style and design.

Tailored To Your Needs

RS Surface Coatings starts with mechanical preparation and appropriate repairs. For its applicable flake system, a moisture vapor barrier epoxy base coat is followed by decorative flake in the specified receiving layer, removal of loose flake and a compatible protective topcoat. Product selection, cure conditions and the intended use guide the finished assembly.

Chemical and Stain Resistance

A grind and seal floor is ideal for industrial, commercial, and residential applications where a sealed surface is preferred for moisture or stain resistance.

Good for Light to Moderate Traffic

If you have a floor that receives light to moderate foot traffic, then grind and seal is a good option.

Faster, Less Labor-Intensive Installation

What Is a Grind and Seal Concrete Floor?
A grind and seal concrete floor is a process where the concrete surface is mechanically ground using specialized diamond tooling to remove contaminants and smooth the surface. Once ground, a clear topical sealer or coating (such as a Protective finish, polyurethane or acrylic) is applied to protect the floor from stains, wear, and moisture.
When comparing grind and seal vs polished concrete, the main difference lies in how the shine and protection are achieved. Polished concrete involves grinding the floor using finer and finer diamond grits until the concrete itself achieves a natural polish, followed by a densifier to harden it. A grind and seal floor relies on a topical sealer or coating to provide the shine and protective barrier, making it a faster and more cost-effective alternative.
Investing in professional grinding and sealing concrete ensures that the floor is properly prepared. Proper mechanical grinding opens up the concrete pores, allowing the topical sealer to bond securely to the surface. Professional installation helps prevent peeling, ensures even coverage, and allows you to customize slip resistance and sheen levels to fit your commercial space.
