No two concrete floors are the same , and that's exactly why our work isn't one-size-fits-all. The condition, hardness, age, and previous treatment of the concrete all play a role in how we approach each job.
Some slabs are soft and dusty, others are rock-hard and need multiple heavy grinding passes. Some have high spots, glue, paint, or coatings that need removing before we can even start polishing. Others may have uneven pours, cracks, or damage that require repairs or patching.
We also consider whether the job is indoors or outdoors, residential or commercial, new or existing concrete. These details affect everything from the equipment we use to the type of tooling, the number of passes, and the final finish we can achieve.
Because of this, every quote we give is tailored to the job - not just based on square metres, but on the real work required. It's our way of making sure you're only paying for what's needed and getting the right result for your space.
UNDERSTANDING DIFFERENT CONCRETE FINISHES
MECHANICALLY POLISHED CONCRETE
Mechanically Polished Concrete - Sometimes known as MPC is the highest standard of concrete floor finishing available.
Unlike topical sealers or epoxy coatings, MPC is achieved by refining the surface of the concrete through a combination of heavy grinding, densifying, honing, and polishing.
This process physically strengthens the surface and produces a sleek, low-maintenance, and highly durable finish.
HOW IT WORKS - THE PROCESS
HOW IT WORKS - THE PROCESS
Mechanically polished concrete is created using industrial grinding machines fitted with diamond tooling.
The surface is methodically ground back to expose the desired level of aggregate (stone within the concrete), then hardened using a densifier that reacts with the concrete to strengthen it.
After that, the surface is polished through multiple stages - often up to 800 or 1500 grit - to achieve a satin, semi-gloss, or high-gloss finish.
This is not a coating.
The polish is in the concrete, not on it, which means it wont peel, flake or wear over time.
THE PROS & CONS OF MECHANICALLY POLISHED CONCRETE ...
THE PROS FOR MECHANICALLY POLISHED CONCRETE...
- Durability: MPC floors are incredibly hard-wearing. They're scratch-resistant, UV-stable, and perfect for high-traffic areas.
- Low Maintenance: No wax or sealers needed.
Just routine cleaning - no stripping or re-coating required. - Aesthetic Appeal: Offers a sleek, modern, architectural finish with the ability to choose the level of stone exposure and gloss.
- Eco-Friendly: Utilises the existing concrete slab, no VOCs, and contributes to green building standards.
- Cost-Effective Over Time: While the initial investment is higher, maintenance and replacement costs are significantly lower over the long term.
- Allergy-Friendly: With no coatings or grout lines to trap dust, MPC is ideal for allergy-prone environments.
THE CONS OF MECHANICALLY POLISHED CONCRETE...
- Upfront Cost: MPC is more expensive than basic grind-and-seal methods due to the labour, equipment, and tooling involved.
- Longer Install Time: True polishing takes time — usually several days, depending on the area and level of finish required.
- Slab Quality Matters: The final result depends heavily on the condition, age, and quality of the original concrete. Cracks, uneven pours, or poor-quality mix can limit polish outcomes.
- Hard Underfoot: While durable, concrete is unforgiving and may not be ideal in areas where softer flooring is preferred.
IS MPC RIGHT FOR YOU???
Mechanically polished concrete is ideal for residential homes, commercial spaces, showrooms, and even retail environments where a clean, high-end look is desired with minimal upkeep. If you're after a floor that combines style with strength - and you're willing to invest in quality — MPC is a smart long-term choice.
GRIND & SEAL
A Practical Concrete Flooring Option-
Grind and Seal is one of the most popular concrete floor finishes - and for good reason. It offers a clean, durable, and cost-effective solution that enhances the look of existing concrete without the extended process involved in mechanical polishing.
In a grind and seal system, we grind back the surface of the concrete to the desired level of stone exposure. Then, instead of polishing the concrete itself, we apply a topical sealer - either matte, satin, or gloss (also depends on concrete condition as to what finish sealer you may be able to have) - to protect and finish the floor.
HOW IT WORKS - THE PROCESS
HOW IT WORKS - THE PROCESS
- Grinding: The surface is ground back using industrial machines and diamond tooling to remove imperfections and reveal aggregate (stone) if desired.
- Cleaning and Prep: The floor is thoroughly cleaned and prepped to ensure sealer adhesion.
- Sealing: A high-performance topical sealer is applied to protect the surface, enhance the finish, and provide resistance to stains, water, and wear.
THE PROS & CONS OF A GRIND & SEAL ...
THE PROS FOR A GRIND & SEAL ...
- Cost-Effective: Compared to full mechanical polishing, Grind and Seal provides a similar aesthetic at a lower price point.
- Fast Turnaround: Less labour-intensive, making it ideal for projects that need a quicker completion.
- Versatile Finish Options: Choose between matte, satin, or gloss finishes with UV-stable sealers available for indoor or outdoor use.
- Dust & Stain Resistance: Once sealed, the surface becomes resistant to dust, spills, and light staining.
- Customisable Exposure: You can choose from minimal to full stone exposure to suit your design style.
THE CONS OF A GRIND AND SEAL ...
- Topcoat Maintenance: The protective sealer wears over time, especially in high-traffic areas, and may require reapplication every few years to maintain protection and appearance.
- Less Scratch-Resistant: Unlike mechanically polished concrete, the topical seal is more prone to surface scratches and wear.
- Slip Risk if Wet: Depending on the finish and environment, sealed concrete can become slippery when wet (though slip-resistant additives can be applied).
- Not as Long-Lasting as Polished Concrete:
While still durable, it doesn't have the same lifespan or hardness as a full mechanical polish.
IS A GRIND & SEAL RIGHT FOR YOU???
A Grind and Seal may be the perfect solution if you're looking for a concrete finish that's stylish, functional, and budget-friendly. It offers a clean, modern look by grinding back the concrete to your desired level of stone exposure, then sealing it with a protective coating to enhance durability and appearance.
Grind and Seal is ideal for:
- Residential homes, garages, and patios
- Retail shops, cafes, and commercial spaces
- Indoor and outdoor areas needing a quick turnaround
This finish delivers excellent value, but it's important to consider that the sealer does require maintenance over time. If you're after a beautiful, practical concrete floor without the higher cost of a full mechanical polish, then a Grind and Seal could be just right for your space.
FLOOR PREPERATION GRINDING
HOW IT WORKS - THE PROCESS
Before any new flooring system can be installed or a concrete surface can be refinished, proper floor preparation is essential. At CENTRAL COAST CONCRETE GRINDING, we offer expert grinding services to remove a variety of existing surface materials and ensure a clean, even base for your next step.
What We Remove:
- Tile Glue & Adhesives: We mechanically grind away leftover glue from tile removal, creating a smooth surface ready for new finishes.
- Screed & High Spots: Old screeds, uneven patches, and high spots are ground back to ensure level and consistent concrete.
- Spraycrete (Spray-On Concrete): We remove worn or dated spraycrete coatings on driveways and patios, restoring the concrete beneath and preparing it for a fresh new look.
- Pebblecrete & Exposed Aggregate: Grinding back old pebblecrete or exposed aggregate allows for resurfacing, resealing, or a complete transformation of the area.
- Paint & Sealers: We strip away flaking paint, coatings, or damaged sealers to bring the concrete back to a clear workable base.
Why Floor Preparation Matters:
- Ensures strong adhesion for new coatings, sealers, or toppings
- Reduces the risk of future peeling, cracking, or uneven finishes
- Saves time and money by getting the surface right the first time
No matter the condition of your concrete, we have the right machinery and experience to prepare your surface properly, safely, and efficiently.
