A commercial building can go through many different changes over the years. Layers of floor coverings tend to get piled on top of each other. When un earthing these many layers, there are usually plumbing cutouts, carpet tack strips and different levels that need to be patched, flattened and blended. This particular floor started out with 16 grit metal bond diamonds for a really aggressive cut to remove glues, adhesives, and other floor coatings. The floor was polished to 100 grit resin diamonds and a black dye was applied. At this point the floor was densified, polished to 800 and finished.

At 100 grit resin a black dye by Ameripolish was applied to the honed slab.
The floor was densified and polished up to 800 grit.
Normally a slab in this condition would be treated with an overlay. For cost reasons, the client chose to work with the existing concrete. A lot of hard work resulted in a great looking, durable character polished concrete floor.
