Ground to Suit, Sealed to Protect

Grind and seal starts by grinding the concrete floor to the level of aggregate exposure you want, from a smooth, even look to a more decorative finish. A protective sealer is then applied over the top, guarding against stains, moisture and daily wear. It’s a cost-effective way to lift a tired slab into a clean, durable surface that’s quick to install and easy to maintain.

Key Features

A Tough Seal Over a Smooth Grind

Grind and seal hits the sweet spot between looks, durability and value. The sealer adds a protective layer the bare slab doesn’t have, while the grind gives you control over the final appearance, all without the cost or lead time of more involved finishes. Here’s what makes it work:

  • Sealed surface that resists stains, moisture and wear.
  • Choice of sheen, from matte to gloss.
  • Fast to install and simple to recoat over time.

Common Questions
About Grind and Seal

Considering grind and seal for your floor? Start here. These answers cover what’s involved, how it compares, and why it suits busy spaces.

What does grind and seal involve?

The slab is ground to the look you're after, then finished with a protective sealer applied over the surface. The grind sets the appearance, while the sealer protects the concrete floor from stains, spills and everyday traffic.

How does grind and seal compare to polished concrete?

Polished concrete is refined from the slab itself with no topical coating, while grind and seal uses a sealer applied over the ground surface. Grind and seal is usually quicker and more cost-effective, and the sealer can be recoated when it wears.

Where is grind and seal commonly used?

It's a popular choice for warehouses, garages, cafes, retail spaces and workshops, anywhere that needs a tough, good-looking floor on a sensible budget.

Can I choose the finish?

Yes. Depending on the sealer, you can go from a low-sheen matte through to a glossier finish, and the grind can be adjusted to expose more or less of the aggregate for the look you want.

How do I maintain a grind and seal floor?

Day-to-day care is simple sweeping and mopping. Because the sealer sits on top, it can be refreshed or recoated down the track to keep the surface protected and looking sharp.
