What Is Concrete Grinding?
Concrete grinding is a specialised process that uses diamond-tipped tools to mechanically abrade and smooth concrete surfaces. These abrasive discs, which vary in grit size and hardness, are attached to powerful grinding machines that systematically work across the floor. The process begins with coarse diamond segments to remove major imperfections, old coatings, or adhesives. Progressively finer grits are then used to smooth out scratches and achieve the desired level of surface clarity. Concrete grinding not only levels and smooths the floor but also opens up the surface pores, allowing for better penetration of sealers, dyes, or hardeners. In Canberra, our skilled operators use this technique to transform everything from residential garage floors to expansive commercial spaces, creating a clean, uniform base that’s ready for polishing, coating, or use as a finished surface.
How Is Concrete Grinding Done?
Concrete grinding is a meticulous process that begins with assessing the floor’s condition. Heavy-duty grinding machines, equipped with diamond-embedded discs, are then employed to work across the surface systematically. Initially, coarser diamond segments are used, their abrasive action removing old coatings, adhesives, or major imperfections. As the layers are stripped away, finer grits are introduced, each pass reducing the visible scratches from the previous grit.
The machines are guided by skilled operators who ensure even coverage, paying particular attention to edges and corners. Dust is minimised through the use of industrial vacuums attached to the grinders. Between passes, the floor is inspected, and any persistent blemishes are addressed. The final stages might involve grits as fine as 1500 or 3000, resulting in a smooth, uniform surface. This prepared concrete is then ready to accept sealers, dyes, or polishing compounds, or it may simply be left as a refined, raw finish. The process, while labour-intensive, reveals the innate beauty and durability of the concrete, transforming it from a utilitarian material into a feature element of the space.

Concrete Grinding Questions
What is concrete grinding, and how does it differ from polishing?
Concrete grinding is the process of removing a thin layer from the concrete surface using abrasive tools. It’s often the first step in concrete polishing, but can also be a standalone service. While grinding focuses on leveling and smoothing the surface, polishing takes it further by refining the surface to a high-gloss finish.
2. How long does the concrete grinding process take?
The duration of the grinding process depends on several factors, including the size of the area, the condition of the existing concrete, and the desired finish. For an average-sized room (about 40m²), the grinding process typically takes 1-2 days. Larger or more complex projects may take longer.
3. Can all types of concrete be ground?
While concrete grinding can produce dust, we use advanced dust control systems to minimize mess. Our equipment includes powerful vacuums that capture most of the dust at the source. We also seal off the work area to prevent dust from spreading to other parts of your property.
4. How do I maintain my ground concrete floor?
Ground concrete floors are relatively low-maintenance. Regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping with a pH-neutral cleaner are usually sufficient. For commercial spaces, we recommend using a microfiber mop or auto-scrubber for daily cleaning. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools, as these can damage the surface over time.
