Project Details
The general contractor, G. C. Chandlee & Sons, requested that AAA Southern States Refinishing spec an easy-to-clean, low maintenance floor for a brand-new Camp Bow Wow Doggie Day Care.
Upon arrival at the location, the AAA crew discovered that all power was cut off pending a walk-through inspection. They set up their generator to run concrete grinding equipment and strung lights in the work area since they knew it would be a late night to finish the project on time.
Steps to Seal & Polished Concrete Floors in Alpharetta Dog Day Care
1) The AAA team started with 50-grit copper bond, but quickly learned that the cure & seal would not lift from the company’s floor.
2) The contractor switched to a 20/30 metal, and after a slow walk with their big grinder, they were able to remove the old floor sealer.
3) In this step of the project, they noticed a lot of concrete removal so they saturated the floor with NIKA Corp Lithium Densifier. This mixture hardens the slab in preparation for the next phase of grinding.
4) Using 50-grit copper bond and moving up to 100-grit as the grinding continued, the AAA crew grinded the edges by hand between all steps of grinding the concrete to a fine polish.
5) They started the polishing process with 50-grit resin and polished up to 800.
6) Next, they used microfiber to apply two coats of Prosoco polish guard, and as they applied it, they burnished with each step.
