CONCRETE POLISHING
A polished concrete floor has a glossy, mirror-like finish. The design options for polished concrete are vast. You can choose nearly any color, create patterns with saw cuts, or embed aggregates or interesting objects into the concrete prior to polishing.
The reflectivity of the floor can also be controlled by using different levels of concrete polishing.
Polished concrete is popular in commercial buildings because it is easy to maintain.
Maintaining polished floors requires dust mopping and occasional use of a cleaning product.
Simply put, polishing concrete is similar to sanding wood.
Heavy-duty polishing machines equipped with progressively finer grits of diamond-impregnated segments or disks (akin to sandpaper) are used to gradually grind down surfaces to the desired degree of shine and smoothness.

The results can mimic everything from polished marble to tanned leather to natural stone or even stained wood.
