Polished concrete – Exterior Floors
Industrial Concrete Polishing has been around for centuries in many countries and unfortunately many people have still have missed out on this opportunity and its undiscovered beauty until now. Any concrete slab can be polished regardless of age. It does not require any acid agents to prepare the surface. The preparation consist 7 steps of grinding and polishing with diamond grids depending on the finish you require, it is recommended to have low shine for exterior surfaces. Our process of polishing will continue to keep the slurry off your property so that work area remains tidy and clean.If you're planning a new concrete pour for your driveway, parking area, or any area exposed to sky we recommend you contact us as soon as possible. Some Concrete contractors do not have the tweaking skills required for polishing the exterior concrete floors. There are many variables to be considered prior to a fresh pour and architects and designers need to be informed. "Don't wait till it's too late" Ask our advice right away. Don't regret your choice as polished concrete cannot be altered once it has been poured.
Concrete Polish is not at all slippery, which makes it number one choice for driveways, walk ways, pedestrian areas, or parking areas. Our exclusive steps are merged into the process of polishing pathway, ramps and high moister areas. This has become more slip proof than any other flooring option. An impregnated sealer is used to be highly permeable into the concrete pours leaving a scour finish that acts as an anti slip surface and retaining the inspiring looks.
BGSB recommends a combination of three sealers for Industrial concrete polish, this is known as the ‘sandwich'. The first step is a penetrating sealer that seals and closes all the pours, reducing the temperature rising to the surface. A shield coat is then applied to protect mechanical damage and avoid re-sealing. The final coat upholds the three dimensional looks, shine and durability that has the hard wearing resistance and can be reapplied in years without the removal of any sealers.
Benefits of Exterior Concrete Polishing
Dust free floors: In unpolished concrete, tiny particles of dust are pushed to the surface through an upward force. This can be termed as concrete dusting. There is no dusting after we polish the concrete and it comes with a full warranty.
From porous concrete to a dense surface; that prevents water, oil and other deicing chemicals from penetrating the surface making it ideal choice for exterior floors.
More strength and surface resistance for old, deteriorating, weak concrete surfaces, with more abrasion resistance at par with industry standards and an increase in impact resistance as well. There are many reasons for concrete floors to wear as they age: water logging damage, surface pressure, de-lamination, improper curing, curled cold joints, joint shoulder failure to name few. Our signature process of polishing concrete actually grinds the top surface of the old / new concrete floor, including any unlevelled areas with divots or holes, and hardens the exposed surface beneath. Aged concrete is strengthened, with its impact and abrasion resistance increased.
Increased reflectivity which will help to enhance the beauty of your floor and reduce the cost of electricity bills. We are regularly been reported by our customers that they were able to save a fortune in their monthly bills after opting our signature system of concrete polishing.
Slip resistance floors: Our signature system of dry polished concrete floors meets, and at times, exceeds all international standards for slip resistance. If regularly mopped and cleaned, polished concrete floors will prove to be much less slippery than sealed or waxed floors.
No tire marks from heavy duty trucks, vehicular traffic and other industrial machines. A tire mark is caused due to friction caused by skidding over the coated surface. This is not a case with polished concrete floor as there are no resins to burn on the surface.
Reduced maintenance cost; because of smooth and polished floor your mops, pads and brushes last much longer and do not require aggressive scrubbing to clean the floors than on ordinary concrete floor. After choosing our signature system of polishing the concrete the surface becomes so dense and compacted that it actually repels oils and contaminating agents. Our process makes cleaning much easier and a maintenance schedule less demanding than with other floors.
Highly economical; Polished concrete is one of the most economical flooring options as it helps in saving energy, reduced tire wear, cleaning & maintenance cost and its durability of long life makes the polished concrete a budget sensible, as well as beautiful, flooring system.
No floor coatings or wax required; With our signature system of polishing the concrete floor, there is no need of top coating the surface with wax or sealers. All your budgets of waxing and sealing can now be put on to other areas to save huge costs over maintenance.
Elegant looks; Polished concrete floors have great and beautiful appearance and looks like artistic floors when installed by an expert applicator. It is often mistaken for stone, marble or granite due to its smooth and beautiful finish. Its aesthetic value makes polished concrete a viable option for most facilities, whether it is a parking area or driveway.
Most durable flooring option; There is simply no comparison to other floor systems when it comes to the life of a polished concrete floor. Even the most durable stone or marble floors will require replacement at some time or the other depending on their particular strength and life span unlike Polished concrete floors which will be there as long as the slab exists, whether that be fifty or one hundred years later. With very minimum maintenance and mopping schedule, polished concrete floors provide savings over short and long term.
Green flooring option;. Polished concrete is 100% green flooring option because it drastically reduces the use of different floor topping, coverings or coatings over a given slab on a project, which on the other leads to land-fills upon their eventual replacement. Our signature system of polishing not only upholds aesthetically pleasing design but also aligns with the LEED rating system, as our company being a member of IGBC LEED INDIA has commitment to contribute towards a green environment.

Acid stain can be applied to new, old, plain concrete or overlays. Overlays are required to coordinate with colour consistencies. Although they are often called acid stains, acid isn't the ingredient that Colour's the concrete. Metallic salts within acid, water-based solution reacts with hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide), Colour's compounds that become a permanent part of the concrete. Once the acid reacts it remains a permeate stain.


{loadposition slidegalleryacid}
There are 8 Colour's that form the foundation. The acid in chemical stains opens the top surface of the concrete, allowing metallic salts to reach the free lime deposits. Water from the stain solution then fuels the reaction, usually for about 12 hours. The acid is then removed by specialty products and flushed thoroughly to seize any further reactions.
Color Chart

Note: Bronze Green and Copper Green are suitable for indoors only! Direct sunlight may cause color disorientation. In other words it goes black!
Some important facts of acid staining
- No two independent floors are identical.
- Every stain reaction varies! Used aged concrete (could require an overlay)
- Moisture content within a slab when staining may cause efflorescence to appear, also alters finish product.
- Cements that produce a larger amount of calcium hydroxide during hydration will intensify stain colour, and higher cement contents pro-produces more intense colours.
- Air-entraining or water-reducing admixtures don't pose a problem. However, calcium-chloride accelerators can cause very mottled, darkened areas, and for this reason aren't recommended.
- Open finishes achieved by floating followed by minimal trowel-ling take more stain and produce denser colours than do hard-towelled surfaces. However, open finishes lose colour faster because the concrete wears away. We recommend staining on hard trowel- led surfaces, because the stain colour lasts longer. "Colour's on trowel-led surfaces also look richer than those on floated surfaces”.
- If the surface needs to be sanded, we recommend applying an underlay to compensate the low hydrated lime. Slabs placed in wet weather result in a richer stain colour if the concrete is stained soon after it's placed. However, wet slabs are more likely to effloresce, lightening the colour and causing a more blotchy effect in areas where the stain doesn't take due to efflorescing salts hindering penetration.
- On sunny days, the concrete can become hot and dry, and the stains won't penetrate as deeply into the concrete. The continued presence of water will cause the reaction to continue for a long time, and concrete stained blue-green will gradually turn brown or even black. Initially, this provides nice variation to the appearance, but eventually, nearly all the blue-green colour may change to brown and black. For this reason of the possible colour shifts, some manufacturer’s advice against using these Colour's for exterior concrete. Interior slabs must be placed on a well-drained base or sub-grade and have a low moisture content before stain is applied. Winter seasons are not suitable for acid staining

Toppings are a range of re-surfacing and finishing products generally manufactured from a combination of cement based and synthetic materials. The purpose of these products is both aesthetic and technical.
{loadposition toppingproduct}
Topping products allow experienced craftsmen to apply artistic effects, textures and color combinations. Technically, these products have 4 benefits: First, they are a fluid product allowing them to self-level while retaining high levels of hardness. Secondly, they are a highly processed compound that promotes a self-smoothing surface while still allowing workability for experienced craftsman to bring shape and texture to the final finish. Thirdly, they are designed to meet the demanding conditions of high wear commercial applications. Lastly, topping products are balanced to promote a rapidly approaching flash point. This allows the product to set quickly assisting craftsman to work and the product to be walked on the next day.

Procedure detailsAlmost any concrete slab can be polished, regardless of its age (please refer to Aged polished concrete click here).
Moreover, no special acid agents are required in order to prepare the surface. The initial preparation consists of 5 or more steps of surface grinding. This is done in order to achieve a dense surface as top surface of concrete is often found to be dusty and porous.Polishing with resin diamond grids up to 3000 grit subsequently follows this procedure. Additionally, based on specific requirements, lithium based floor hardeners and penetrating surface densifiers are also used for arriving at the right sheen.
Choosing an Applicator
Polishing concrete is a specialized job and therefore, is best done by an experienced applicator. They will ensure that the slurry is kept off your property, ensuring a tidy and clean work area. It is therefore important that you choose an experienced concrete flooring contractor if you are planning a new concrete pour for your factory, warehouse or office facility.

Metallic salts within acid, water-based solution reacts with hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide), Color's compounds that become a permanent part of the concrete. Once the acid reacts it remains a permeate stain.

There are 8 Colour's that form the foundation. The acid in chemical stains opens the top surface of the concrete, allowing metallic salts to reach the free lime deposits. Water from the stain solution then fuels the reaction, usually for about 12 hours. The acid is then removed by specialty products and flushed thoroughly to seize any further reactions.

Some important facts of acid staining
- No two independent floors are identical.
- Every stain reaction varies! Used aged concrete (could require an overlay)
- Moisture content within a slab when staining may cause efflorescence to appear, also alters finish product.
- Cements that produce a larger amount of calcium hydroxide during hydration will intensify stain colour, and higher cement contents pro-produces more intense colours.
- Air-entraining or water-reducing admixtures don't pose a problem. However, calcium-chloride accelerators can cause very mottled, darkened areas, and for this reason aren't recommended.
- Open finishes achieved by floating followed by minimal trowel-ling take more stain and produce denser colours than do hard-trowelled surfaces. However, open finishes lose colour faster because the concrete wears away. We recommend staining on hard trowel- led surfaces, because the stain colour lasts longer. "Colour's on trowel-led surfaces also look richer than those on floated surfaces”.
- If the surface needs to be sanded, we recommend applying an underlay to compensate the low hydrated lime. Slabs placed in wet weather result in a richer stain colour if the concrete is stained soon after it's placed. However, wet slabs are more likely to effloresce, lightening the colour and causing a more blotchy effect in areas where the stain doesn't take due to efflorescing salts hindering penetration.
- On sunny days, the concrete can become hot and dry, and the stains won't penetrate as deeply into the concrete. The continued presence of water will cause the reaction to continue for a long time, and concrete stained blue-green will gradually turn brown or even black. Initially, this provides nice variation to the appearance, but eventually, nearly all the blue-green colour may change to brown and black. For this reason of the possible colour shifts, some manufacturers advise against using these Colour's for exterior concrete. Interior slabs must be placed on a well-drained base or sub-grade and have a low moisture content before stain is applied. Winter seasons are not suitable for acid staining
