Different Levels of Stone Exposure is achieved during the initial grinding and honing process, where the surface of the concrete substrate is removed to expose different levels of aggregate:
Full Aggregate Exposure – to achieve a maximum stone exposure look
Partial Aggregate Exposure – to achieve a minimal or random exposure look
No Aggregate Exposure – the concrete surface is not removed in this method, therefore any existing undulations (high and low spots), stains or damage will remain after the concrete polishing is complete
Different Levels of Gloss Finish is achieved upon completion of the initial grinding and honing to achieve the desired level of aggregate or stone exposure, the polishing process is then undertaken to the desired level of gloss (generally between 200 grit to 1500 grit finish), options include: Matte Finish | Semi-gloss Finish | High-gloss Finish

Why Hire a Professional?
Recently, the DIY movement has moved from homes to places of business. Many business owners have taken to doing their renovations on their own. But some improvements, like concrete grinding and polishing, are best left to the professionals. Although the tools and equipment are available in most hardware stores, the process requires skills and training.
- The whole process, from research to completion, takes a significant amount of time that will cut into your income-generating activities.
- The equipment and materials involved are expensive, especially for one-time use.
- The equipment, particularly the grinder, requires skills and training to use; otherwise, you risk breaking it and your flooring system.
Prevent the expenses that will arise with DIY repairs and replacements by hiring a professional service. Work with Armourcrete to make sure you get beautiful and functional concrete floors.
