We love hearing stories about how our equipment has helped people to get their floor up to scratch! Here is a great process sent in from one happy customer, who managed to transform his own floor from dusted concrete to an attractive exposed aggregate, polished concrete finish floor, all done in under a week with a specific mention of how well controlled the dust was throughout.
Here is the process he followed 👇
- Smoothed the floor off and prepped it to give a visually uniform surface finish.
- Once the floor was smooth and level, swap the segments over to the Resin hybrid polishing buttons starting at 50g
- Then after the initial polish with the 50g Resin hybrid polishing buttons, swap to the 100g /200g polishing buttons before thoroughly cleaning the floor and then applying a coat of Spektrin Lithium densifier and leave to set overnight.
- Once the Spektrin Lithium densifier has set then the next stages of polishing can be done using 400g and 800g polishing buttons.
- Once all the polishing stages are complete, finish the application by applying a final coating of Spektrin Lithium densifier over the floor to give it a protective coating.

If you’re looking to start a similar project to this, then you may be interested in the machinery that he used for the process.
The customer Hired the FTO Grinder/Polisher, The Optim Vacuum, extension leads and transformers, grinding segments and bought our polishing pads in the different stages.
All of these used items will be listed on the Floor Prep & Polishing tab on our website.
