As with any other specialized technique, polishing is a multi-step process requiring use of the proper tools and equipment to achieve top-quality results. Polishing concrete is very similar to sanding wood--machines are equipped with diamond-segmented abrasives, much like sandpaper. These are used to grind down concrete surfaces to the desired degree of shine and smoothness.

An essential piece of equipment for any polishing project is a floor polisher. It is important to look for a machine with a planetary drive system, a large primary polishing head fitted with three or four smaller satellite heads that hold the diamond abrasives.

There are several other pieces of equipment and supplies needed to successfully finish a polished concrete floor including a hand-held polisher for edges and tight spots, penetrating chemical hardener, dust collection equipment, diamond segmented abrasives and much more highlighted in this buyer's guide.
