Transform your basement or living space with a polished concrete floor that hardens over decades without coating failure or surface wear. Regina Concrete grinds your existing slab to a mirror finish, densifies it chemically, and seals it for stain resistance. Choose your gloss level from soft satin to high-gloss reflective. Every project includes a free written estimate and firm completion date.
The key difference: polished concrete is not a layer applied over the slab. It is the slab itself, ground progressively finer and chemically hardened into a permanent, low-pore surface. Nothing peels, nothing flakes, nothing needs recoating in five years.
We use diamond tooling to grind through multiple passes, exposing the aggregate and matrix. A chemical densifier locks the surface into a hard, stain-resistant state. Then we polish to your chosen gloss level, whether that is a soft 400-grit satin or a 3000-grit mirror finish.
Maintenance is straightforward: damp-mop once a week. No carpet replacement cycles, no grout scrubbing, no coating reapplication. Our stained concrete and epoxy floor systems follow the same rigorous approach. We also offer micro-topping overlays when the existing slab needs prep work first.

The process
How We Grind and Polish Your Concrete Floor
Assess moisture and surface
We measure slab moisture levels, check for cracks, cold joints, and any existing coatings that need removal. This determines whether the slab is ready to polish or needs a micro-topping first.
Grind with diamond tooling
Progressive grinding with diamond pads removes surface imperfections and exposes the concrete matrix. Each pass goes finer, preparing the slab for densification.
Apply densifier and sealer
A chemical densifier hardens the surface from the top down, reducing porosity and stain absorption. Stain-protection sealer is applied as part of the system.
Final polish and cure
We grind through final grit passes to reach your chosen gloss level, satin or high-gloss. The densifier and sealer cure to schedule, then the floor is buffed for clarity and handed over.
Your options
Polished vs Epoxy, Stain, Micro-Topping
Polished concrete and epoxy coatings are the two main interior floor choices. Polished is the slab itself, permanent and coating-free. Epoxy is a seamless coating that offers more colour and pattern variety but requires recoating over time.
Stained concrete uses acid or water-based dyes worked into the slab, often paired with a polished or sealed finish for colour and durability. Micro-topping is a thin overlay that turns a damaged or unsuitable slab into a polish-ready surface. Self-leveling underlayment corrects flatness issues before any finish is applied.
Gloss levels, slab readiness, stain resistance and maintenance for polished floors in Regina.
Most can, but the slab condition decides the finish. We test for moisture, cracks and old coatings first. Slabs with surface damage may need a micro-topping first to give the polish a clean canvas.
From a soft satin (around 400 grit) to a mirror-like high-gloss (3000 grit and beyond). The gloss level is your choice; we grind through the right number of passes to reach it.
Sealed properly with a stain-protector, polished concrete resists stains well. Spilled wine or oil should still be wiped up promptly, but the densified surface is far less porous than untreated concrete.
Concrete temperature follows the room, so it is no colder than tile or stone in the same conditions. Pair it with heated floor underlayment if you want warmth underfoot.
Decades, with basic damp-mop maintenance. There is no coating to fail and no surface to wear off; the polish is the slab itself, densified into a hard matrix that holds up to daily life.

What Regina Homeowners Say About Their Polished Floors
Polished the whole main floor after the kitchen reno. The reflectivity makes the whole room look bigger and the maintenance is just a damp mop once a week.

Picked a satin gloss level instead of full high-gloss for the basement. Soft underfoot look, hard as can be, and the kids' toys roll cleanly across it.

They tested the slab first and recommended a micro-topping before polishing because of some surface cracks. Saved us from a polish-over-cracks disaster, exactly the right call.

Stain protector is doing its job. We have spilled coffee and red wine and both wiped up clean. Maintenance is way less than the hardwood we replaced.
