For Edmonton industrial environments, polished concrete flooring offers unmatched durability, especially in manufacturing facilities, warehouses, distribution centers, and spaces with heavy machinery or frequent forklift traffic. Our industrial polished concrete services deliver hard-wearing, dust-free concrete floors that can withstand daily rigors while maintaining a clean, professional appearance in Edmonton industrial facilities.
We offer slip-resistant polished concrete finishes and other safety customizations to ensure your Edmonton industrial floors are safe, efficient, and compliant with workplace safety standards. Our concrete grinding and polishing process eliminates concrete dusting, improves lighting reflectivity, and creates floors that meet the demanding requirements of Edmonton industrial operations.
The Professional Polished Concrete Process in Edmonton
To achieve polished concrete floors that look exceptional and perform flawlessly, our experienced team at STC Coatings Inc. follows a detailed, proven multi-step concrete grinding and polishing process. Here’s what you can expect from your Edmonton polished concrete project:
Step 1: Surface Preparation and Concrete Assessment
We begin by thoroughly cleaning the concrete surface and carefully assessing its condition. Our Edmonton team repairs any cracks, spalling, or surface imperfections, ensuring a smooth, stable base for the concrete grinding and polishing process. For significant crack repair needs, we also offer professional control joint filling services to ensure structural integrity before polishing begins.
Step2: Concrete Grinding with Diamond Equipment
Using state-of-the-art diamond grinding equipment specifically designed for concrete polishing, we systematically grind the Edmonton concrete surface to remove imperfections, old coatings, adhesive residue, and surface contaminants while exposing the desired aggregate level. This crucial concrete grinding step determines your floor's final appearance and texture in your Edmonton property.
Step 3: Progressive Concrete Polishing
We progressively polish your Edmonton concrete floor using increasingly finer diamond grinding grits to create a smooth, glossy surface with exceptional clarity. Our skilled team can achieve various levels of sheen and reflectivity, from subtle matte finishes to mirror-like high-gloss polished concrete, based on your aesthetic preferences for your Edmonton space.
Step 4: Concrete Staining and Densification
If you prefer a specific color palette, custom pattern, or decorative effect for your Edmonton polished concrete, we can add professional concrete stains and dyes to customize your floor's appearance. A chemical densifier is also applied during the concrete polishing process to harden the concrete at a molecular level, making your Edmonton floors significantly more resistant to stains, abrasions, and surface wear.
Step 5: Sealing and Finishing Protection
To enhance durability and simplify maintenance, we finish your Edmonton polished concrete floor with a penetrating sealer that protects against stains, moisture, and daily wear while making routine cleaning easy. The final sealing step ensures your polished concrete maintains its beautiful appearance throughout its long lifespan in your Edmonton property.
Polished Concrete vs. Other Flooring Solutions
When considering flooring options for your Edmonton property, it’s important to understand how polished concrete compares to other solutions:
Polished Concrete vs. Epoxy Flooring: While both options offer durability, polished concrete is created by grinding the existing slab, making it part of the concrete itself with exceptional longevity. Epoxy flooring provides a coating system with more color options and chemical resistance, making it ideal for garages and industrial spaces where spills are common.
Polished Concrete for Garages: Polished concrete is an excellent choice for garage flooring in Edmonton, offering durability and easy maintenance. For residential garages, many homeowners choose to combine polished concrete with epoxy coatings for enhanced protection and aesthetic appeal.
Outdoor Concrete Applications: While polished concrete is primarily for interior spaces, we also provide comprehensive solutions for outdoor concrete surfaces including balcony coatings and protective sealers that withstand Edmonton’s harsh weather conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Concrete Grinding & Polishing in Edmonton
How long does polished concrete last in Edmonton?
With proper care and maintenance, professionally polished concrete floors can last 20+ years in Edmonton properties, often outlasting virtually all other types of flooring options. The concrete grinding and polishing process creates an exceptionally durable surface that resists wear, staining, and deterioration even in high-traffic Edmonton commercial and industrial environments. Many polished concrete floors in Edmonton last 30+ years with minimal maintenance.
Is polished concrete slippery in Edmonton facilities?
Polished concrete can be customized with various finish levels to provide appropriate slip resistance for your specific Edmonton application. For areas where slip resistance is critical, such as Edmonton commercial kitchens, industrial facilities, or public spaces, we can create textured polished concrete finishes or apply slip-resistant treatments that meet safety standards without sacrificing the aesthetic appeal of polished concrete.
Can polished concrete be customized for my Edmonton property?
Absolutely! Concrete grinding and polishing offers extensive customization options for Edmonton clients. We can create various gloss levels from matte to high-gloss finishes, expose different aggregate sizes and patterns, add decorative saw cuts and scoring designs, incorporate custom colors through concrete staining, and create unique patterns or borders. Our Edmonton team works with you to design polished concrete that perfectly matches your vision and complements your space.
How do I maintain polished concrete floors in Edmonton?
Polished concrete maintenance in Edmonton is remarkably simple and cost-effective. Regular maintenance involves dry dust mopping or sweeping to remove dirt and debris, damp mopping with pH-neutral cleaners for routine cleaning, and occasional reapplication of penetrating sealers (typically every 2-3 years) to maintain stain resistance. For deep cleaning of exterior concrete, our pressure washing services ensure all your concrete surfaces remain pristine.
Can polished concrete be installed in Edmonton homes?
Yes! Polished concrete is increasingly popular in Edmonton residential properties, particularly in modern homes, contemporary renovations, basements, and open-concept living spaces. For garage flooring applications, polished concrete provides homeowners with beautiful, durable floors that are ideal for homes with pets, children, or allergy concerns.
What is the difference between polished concrete and epoxy flooring?
Polished concrete and epoxy flooring serve different purposes for Edmonton properties. Polished concrete is created by mechanically grinding and polishing the existing concrete slab, exposing aggregate and creating a hard, glossy surface that’s part of the concrete itself. Epoxy flooring involves applying a coating system on top of concrete. Polished concrete typically offers longer lifespan and requires less maintenance, while epoxy provides more color options and chemical resistance. Our Edmonton team can help you determine which solution best fits your specific needs.
How long does the concrete grinding and polishing process take?
The timeline for concrete grinding and polishing projects in Edmonton varies based on floor size, concrete condition, desired finish level, and project complexity. Typical residential polished concrete projects take 2-4 days, while larger Edmonton commercial or industrial concrete polishing projects may require 1-2 weeks. We provide detailed project timelines during your free estimate, ensuring minimal disruption to your Edmonton home or business operations.
Is concrete grinding and polishing dusty or disruptive?
Modern concrete grinding and polishing equipment includes advanced dust collection systems that capture 99% of dust during the process, making it much cleaner than traditional concrete work. While some disruption is inevitable during concrete grinding, we work efficiently to minimize impact on your Edmonton property and can often work during off-hours for commercial clients to avoid disrupting business operations.
Can you polish old concrete in Edmonton buildings?
Yes! One of the advantages of concrete grinding and polishing is that we can transform existing concrete slabs in older Edmonton buildings into beautiful polished concrete floors. Whether your Edmonton property has concrete that’s 5, 20, or 50+ years old, we can assess its condition and determine the best concrete polishing approach. Older concrete often produces stunning polished floors with unique character and beautiful aggregate patterns.
What does polished concrete cost in Edmonton?
Polished concrete costs in Edmonton typically range from $3-10 per square foot depending on floor condition, desired finish level, square footage, decorative options like staining or scoring, and project complexity. While initial costs may be comparable to other flooring options, polished concrete’s exceptional durability and minimal maintenance requirements make it one of the most cost-effective long-term flooring solutions for Edmonton properties.
