What Are Concrete Floor Grinders & Polishers?
Concrete Floor Grinders are powerful machines used to remove coatings, level uneven surfaces, and prepare concrete for polishing, coatings, or overlays. They are essential for surface prep, glue and coating removal, and correcting floor imperfections.
Concrete Floor Polishers refine and smooth the concrete surface through multiple grinding and polishing stages, producing finishes that range from matte to high-gloss. When used together with the proper diamond tooling, these machines create durable, low-maintenance polished concrete floors.
