DARIV's Concrete Polishing Strategy

Concrete polishing is the science and art of processing a cast-in-place concrete slab or concrete topping to achieve the gloss or reflective degree of finish you desire.

Driven by our values, our strategy for every concrete polishing project is customized to meet the outcomes you need for your floor. Now, a polished concrete project  can take weeks and months to complete, depending on the project’s size, difficulty, and desired finish.

These factors also affect the costs of a polished concrete project. But if you are after long-term convenience, then go for polished concrete.

How can concrete polishing elevate your floor?

Typically, your concrete is dusty and dull. It could have residue from previous coatings or flooring material. In case the existing concrete was placed haphazardly, your flooring is uneven and not level.

To give you a top quality polished concrete floor, DARIV follows a series of steps that ensures your floor’s foundation is strong enough to undergo the polished concrete process and achieve the desired sheen and finish.

Read more about these procedures in our article “What is Polished Concrete?”

Is concrete polishing suitable for all concrete surfaces?

It is possible to polish all kinds of concrete floorings and horizontal surfaces except for certain floor conditions.

Newly finished concrete floors

Grinding and polishing concrete only works on floors that at least 28 days old. This is the period of time needed for concrete to cure and harden. You can opt to polish your concrete floor as early as the 29th day after placement in order to reduce the process needed for polishing.

Uneven, damaged, or extremely porous concrete floors

The heavy equipment used for polishing concrete works best on even surfaces. Moreover, surfaces that have lots of cracks may require patching before the polishing process begins. In case, the floor is extremely porous, the grinding process may damage the concrete. 

It is crucial to choose contractors with extensive experience with handling concrete. At DARIV, we have seasoned engineers and contractors who can determine if a floor is suitable for polishing, and can offer options for your concrete floor such as hardening treatment or resurfacing. 

Polished concrete stands out among flooring materials used in the Philippines  in terms of overall cost-efficiency, versatility, durability, and class. This is not surprising since concrete floorings are relatively cheaper and easier to lay. But polishing concrete with the right tools gives it the sheen and durability you would want in your flooring.
