Polished Concrete Flooring
Sleek, durable epoxy finish that transforms your garage into a clean, modern space.
Durable. Elegant. Built to Last.
Service Description
At Beautiful Concrete, we approach polished concrete as both a science and an art.
Every floor tells a story—its composition, aggregate distribution, and finish level all affect the final appearance and performance.

What We Offer
We specialize in tailoring these variables to achieve exactly the look and function you need.
Aggregate Exposure Levels
Polished concrete begins with mechanical refinement of the surface.
The depth of grinding determines how much of the concrete’s internal structure—the aggregate—becomes visible.
Exposure Level Visible Elements Approx. Cut Depth Characteristics
- Cream Finish Cement paste only < 1/32″ Smooth, uniform, no aggregate exposure. Ideal for new, well-placed slabs.
- Fine / Salt & Pepper Fine sand and small aggregate particles ~1/16″ Light speckled appearance, minimal visual texture, balanced between subtlety and interest.
- Medium Aggregate Small-to-medium aggregate particles ~1/8″ More pronounced texture, increased light reflectivity.
- Large Aggregate Full aggregate reveal Up to ¼″ Strong visual contrast, maximum texture, highly architectural appearance.
Sheen (Gloss) Levels
After determining the exposure, gloss level is controlled through progressive resin-bond diamond polishing.
Gloss is measured by Gloss Meter or DOI (Distinctness of Image) readings, providing an objective metric.
Gloss Level DOI Range Surface Description
- Matte (Level 1) 0–9 Low reflectivity, diffuse light scatter, functional but understated.
- Satin (Level 2) 10–39 Soft reflectivity, balanced aesthetics and glare control.
- Semi-Gloss (Level 3) 40–69 Clear reflections, enhanced depth of field.
- High Gloss (Level 4) 70–100 Mirror-like finish, maximum clarity and depth.

Why Polished Concrete Performs
- Abrasion Resistance – Mechanical densification increases surface hardness, reducing wear.
- Light Reflectivity – Adjustable gloss levels improve illumination efficiency in commercial and residential spaces.
- Low Maintenance – No coatings to peel or reapply; simple cleaning protocols extend life cycle.
- Sustainability – Utilizes the existing slab, reducing material consumption.
Process
Our Process
Slab Evaluation
Assess concrete mix, placement quality, and curing history
Aggregate Mapping
Determine optimal cut depth to meet visual and structural goals.
Progressive Refinement
Use sequential diamond grits to achieve target gloss and DOI
Densification & Protection
Apply lithium or sodium silicate densifiers; optional penetrating guards for stain resistance.
Verification
Measure gloss and DOI to confirm specifications.
