Polished Concrete Company Serving the Southeast

At Grindkings, we’ve specialized in polished concrete floors since 2008. Based in Metro Atlanta and serving Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, Alabama, and Florida, we work with industrial facilities, commercial spaces, and residential projects of all sizes. 

From warehouses and retail stores to churches, schools, basements, and new home builds, we deliver more than just good looking floors. We focus on functionality, safety, and longevity. Every project is completed using advanced remote-control grinders, premium tooling, and high-performance dust collection systems to keep the jobsite clean and precise.

Our Difference

Polished concrete isn’t one-size-fits-all. There are actually different ways to achieve the polished concrete look, and each method has its own strengths depending on the space and goals. With a chemical polish or grind and seal system, the surface is treated to create a smooth finish. This option can be more budget-friendly and faster to install, which makes it a great choice for certain projects where timelines or cost are the top priority.

With a mechanical polish, the concrete itself is refined and densified through multiple grinding stages. This process creates a floor that’s not just beautiful, but also extremely durable and long-lasting. This is typically ideal for warehouses, retail stores, basements, and anywhere performance really matters.

The two can sometimes look very similar to the eye, but their long-term performance is where the difference shows up. At Grindkings, we specialize in both systems and will walk you through the options so you get the best solution for your space, budget, and long-term goals. Every project has a right-fit polished concrete system, and we’ll help you find it.

As a trusted name in the concrete polishing industry, we pride ourselves on delivering value and high quality craftsmanship for every polished concrete project. We understand that each project is unique, and we tailor our services to meet your specific requirements. Whether you need concrete polishing for residential, commercial, or industrial spaces, we have the expertise and resources to handle projects of any scale.

What is polished concrete?

Mechanical polished concrete is created through a process using industrial-grade floor grinders with a sequence of specialized diamond tooling and chemical treatments. The concrete polishing process is very labor intensive. It involves stages from initial preparation, concrete grinding and honing, to precision concrete polishing using progressively finer diamond tooling and quality chemical treatments.

It’s resilient against heavy foot traffic, equipment, abrasions, and scratches.

Polished concrete floors offer a modern look that can enhance the overall aesthetics of any space. What’s your style?

Some Examples of Different Styles of Polished Concrete Floors:

• Rustic Polished Concrete

• Industrial Polished Concrete

• Showroom Polished Concrete

• Cream Polished Concrete

• Modern Polished Concrete

• Full Stone Polished Concrete (rock/stone/ aggregate exposure)

Is polished concrete slippery?

When you think of polished concrete floors, you may think they are extra slippery due to their gloss level and shine. However, that’s not the case at all! Polished concrete floors are in fact chosen for their exceptional slip resistance. They offer good traction, even when wet, and are easy to clean and maintain. 

Did you know slip and fall accidents account for over 1 million emergency room visits each year in the US? And to prevent slip and fall incidents, major major retailers like Home Depot and Costco trust polished concrete floors for their remarkable slip resistance, as well as their durability and longevity.

Mechanically polished concrete floors can last decades.

A properly installed polished concrete floor is extremely durable and can withstand the heavy traffic and constant use that floors are subjected to. Our concrete polishing systems are resilient against heavy foot traffic, equipment, abrasions, and scratches, and designed to last decades.

Polished concrete can withstand heavy foot and equipment traffic.

Consider the level of foot traffic your facility receives. In many facilities, it’s important to choose a durable floor that can withstand daily wear and tear. Polished concrete is known for its durability and can withstand large amounts of daily foot traffic. The mechanical grinding, honing, and polishing process creates a dense and tightly compacted surface that resists wear and tear from foot traffic. This ensures the floor's longevity and minimizes the need for frequent maintenance or replacement.

Polished concrete floors are beautiful.

It’s extremely easy to clean and maintain.

Polished concrete is easy to clean and maintain due to its smooth, even surface that resists dirt and stains. Unlike other flooring options, it does not have grout lines where debris can accumulate. Its durability allows for the use of commercial cleaning equipment without damage, and it's ready for immediate use after cleaning, minimizing downtime. Routine maintenance typically requires only basic cleaning tools and a neutral pH cleaner, making it a cost-effective and hassle-free flooring choice. This also helps maintain proper hygiene standards in your restaurant.

It’s cost-effective with largest ROI.

A mechanically polished concrete floor is the longest lasting flooring system on the market with the largest ROI. This makes it a very cost-effective flooring option for businesses as they provide excellent value with its longevity, durability, and low-maintenance requirements.

It brightens your space and reduces energy costs.

Polished concrete floors have a high level of reflectivity that can improve lighting and reduce the need for additional lighting. For example, this increased reflectivity can reduce the need for additional lighting fixtures in a warehouse, which can help save on energy costs. The reflective properties of polished concrete floors can make a significant difference in the overall lighting quality of a commercial space. This can create a safer and more productive work environment for employees and inviting environment for customers.

It lowers your carbon footprint.

Polished concrete is an environmentally friendly and sustainable flooring option that can help reduce your carbon footprint while providing a durable, long-lasting, and low-maintenance flooring solution for your commercial or residential space. Made from natural materials, such as cement, aggregate, and water, polished concrete does not emit any harmful chemicals or VOCs. This also makes polished concrete a healthier and safer choice for workers and the environment. In addition, the low maintenance requirements of polished concrete compared to other flooring systems generates less waste, uses few chemicals, and reduces the need for replacements or repairs.

It improves your air quality.

Polished concrete floors do not trap dust, dirt, and allergens like carpet and other flooring options. This can improve air quality in warehouses, creating a healthier work environment.

In addition to mechanically polished concrete floors, there are alternative, more affordable options that look similar like exposed sealed concrete, chemical polished concrete, or burnished concrete floors. However these floors do not deliver the benefits of mechanically polished concrete. Ask your polished concrete contractor about these more affordable options.
