I have yet to see someone with no training whatsoever pull off concrete polishing like a pro. Nevertheless, a lot of people have asked me how concrete polishing works, in the hope of learning enough to be able to do it themselves. To these people I would say this; you're wasting your time. If you want to do some concrete polishing in your home, the best idea is still to hire an experienced contractor to do it for you.
Now if you tell me that you are interested in learning the ropes, so to speak, then I have three tidbits of advice. Understand how it is done, go out there and have some experience under your belt, and have the right tools for the job. Knowing these three will contribute a lot to the mastery of concrete polishing.
So how does concrete polishing work? Basically, it's a sequence of diamond tooling using progressively higher grits. You start with a low grit for your coarse grinding, removing the first few fractions of an inch from the surface. Doing this exposes the aggregate in the concrete, which could add to the beauty of the floor. You then proceed to batches of higher grits to attain that polished look.
The second tidbit of advice comes in the form of knowing the equipment your using. You of course need the machine, from which there are many brands to choose from. Your choice of machine also dictates the various grit of diamonds that you need to have. All these information can be asked from Concrete Polishing.
You will also have to practice your craft extensively. Some suggestions that you would hear will either be enrolling in a crash course, or working under an existing enthusiast of concrete polishing for some time. As before, the folks at Concrete Polishing will help out either way.
