10 STEPS GUIDE
In order to polish a floor correctly, you need to have many different series of diamonds and a lot of expensive equipment. Here is a guide for doing concrete staining in Tampa:
- Clean all the dirt and debris out of the joints.
- Level and smooth rough concrete areas with (40–80) grit diamonds.
- Fill the joints with polyurea filler and sharpen the extra glue once it has dried.
- Drag the blade down the left edge and then the right edge.
- Start pouring some water in front of the diamonds to cool them down.
- Do intermediate concrete grinding again with 80–150 grit diamonds.
- Final grinding will be done by 400–800 grit diamonds.
- Polish the surface with resin-bond diamond pads (400–800 grit) for initial shine. Further polish with higher grit pads (800–1500) for enhanced gloss.
- Apply a densifier to harden the floor, and run the edges with the hand grinder.
- Finish by polishing with the highest grit pad (1500–3000) for a glossy, durable surface.
Floor Polishing - BENEFIT
For Florida and Tampa, stained concrete floors come with amazing benefits.
Highly Durable
For high-traffic areas like Tampa, it is the best choice for its heavy weight-bearing ability. Furthermore, it will last for decades in its original phase if cared for properly.
Easy to Clean
You do not need to invest in hiring a team to clean it. Even regular cleaning and mopping will make it clean and dirt-free, which you can do yourself.
Slip Resistance
Unlike other tiles and marble, concrete’s surface is extremely rough making it impossible to slip. When it comes to stained concrete it follows the same rule which means you do not need to be worried about it.
Cost Effective
Concrete itself is cheaper than other materials. The main expense is polishing the concrete floor, which itself is a one-time cost, making it a better money-saver than others
Less Maintenance
Repetitive maintenance materials, agents, and coatings are not required. If you follow a true cleaning routine, you will not even think about replacing, repairing, or repolishing your floor.
Eco-Friendly
Unlike some other flooring options, it does not require using harsh and frequent chemicals. Minimum resources are required while installing it.
Improves Lighting
The highly reflective nature of it makes it a material that will reflect light and brighten your room. Even the use of low natural and artificial lights will be sufficient. Low lights mean low usage of electricity, and the ultimate result will be a lower electricity bill.
Customizable
Customization includes a level of polish (high-gloss, satin, or matte) in tampa; concrete floor polishing is done to achieve the desired level of reflectivity. Additionally, stains and dyes can be incorporated to add bursts of color and personalize your space.

FAQ’s
28 days are required to completely dry the concrete. If you even try to do it within that duration, it will damage the surface as it will not grind properly.
The low maintenance ability of it does not bother it to seal it every month or a year. If you are conscious, you can do it after 3 or 4 years of gap.
At normal temperatures, it usually takes 4 hours to dry, but we prefer to leave it overnight for better results.
Conclusion
Polishing a floor properly is very labor intensive and requires quite a few steps. The existing concrete floor dictates what the floor will look like when it’s done. Not all polished concrete looks the same and not every finish will look the same. All concrete grinds differently and all floors take stain differently. I always say concrete is consistently inconsistent. Therefore you need to have an open mind when deciding on concrete polishing Tampa FL as your flooring system.
