High-Quality Concrete Grind and Seal Services for Commercial Spaces
At KD Flooring, we specialize in concrete grind and seal services that provide long-lasting durability for commercial and industrial spaces. Whether you need a functional yet attractive floor for a high-rise building, lab, or office suite, our grind and seal process offers the perfect solution.
What Is Concrete Grind and Seal?
The grind and seal process involves smoothing and sealing concrete floors with a series of abrasive diamonds. Unlike polished concrete, grind and seal floors are cut to a lower grit level (typically 60-80 grit), giving them a more textured surface. After grinding the floor, we apply a water-based acrylic sealer to enhance durability and ensure easy maintenance. The result is a cost-effective flooring option that delivers a clean, sleek look without the need for extensive polishing.
Benefits of Grind and Seal Floors
Cost-Effective: Grind and seal floors are much more affordable than other commercial flooring solutions, such as epoxy or tile.
Durability: The sealed concrete floor resists dirt, moisture, and stains, making it perfect for high-traffic areas like corridors, labs, and offices.
Low Maintenance: These floors require minimal upkeep. Simply clean regularly, and reapply sealer every 5-10 years to maintain their performance.
Customizable: You can adjust the grind and seal process to reveal different levels of aggregate exposure, allowing for a unique finish that suits your space.
Ideal Applications for Concrete Grind and Seal
Concrete grind and seal floors are perfect for:
Commercial spaces: Spec suites, high-rise buildings, and office complexes.
Laboratories: Walkways and workspaces where hygiene and durability are crucial.
Retail and Warehouse spaces: Long-lasting floors that can withstand foot traffic, forklift use, and heavy equipment.
Residential settings: Ideal for garages, basements, and other high-traffic areas where a durable, low-maintenance floor is required.
The Grind and Seal Process: What You Can Expect
Preparation: We start by grinding the concrete surface using diamond tools to remove old coatings, adhesives, or other residues. This ensures a clean base for sealing.
Repair: Any cracks or damages in the concrete are repaired, ensuring an even surface.
Sealing: Once the floor is prepared, we apply a high-quality acrylic sealer (water-based) to protect the surface and give it a polished finish. For high-traffic areas, we may use water-based urethane for added durability.
Finishing: Finally, we apply additional coats of sealer, depending on your specific needs, and ensure that the floor is fully sealed and protected.
Types of Finishes Available
While the primary purpose of grind and seal floors is durability and functionality, we also offer a variety of finish options, including:
Matte finish for a more industrial, understated look.
Semi-gloss for a subtle sheen that adds depth to the surface.
High-gloss for a sleek, polished appearance that enhances lighting and visibility in commercial spaces.
Eco-Friendly Options for a Sustainable Choice
At Kd Flooring, we believe in using environmentally friendly products without sacrificing performance. The water-based acrylics and urethanes we use are low in VOCs, making them a safer choice for both your space and the environment. With a focus on sustainability, we ensure that our grind and seal process aligns with green building practices while offering exceptional durability.
Why Choose Grind and Seal Over Other Flooring Options?
While epoxy coatings, tile, and carpeting may seem like viable options, grind and seal concrete floors offer several key advantages:
Cost Efficiency: Grind and seal floors can be installed at a fraction of the cost of epoxy, tile, or vinyl flooring.
Longevity: Unlike other flooring types, concrete grind and seal floors don’t wear out over time. With proper maintenance, these floors can last indefinitely.
Low Maintenance: Simply clean your floor regularly and apply a fresh coat of sealer as needed. No need for costly replacements like tile or carpet.

Polish vs Grind and Seal
Polished concrete floors undergo multiple passes of progressively finer diamonds. Coated with a hardener and protected with a stain resistant guard resulting in a "showroom” finish. Grind and Seal flooring systems is a more affordable solution that undergoes a similar process, except the floor see’s fewer diamonds resulting in more of a matte finish. A clear topical or penetrating sealer is applied which preserves, protects, and enhances the natural beauty of the underlying concrete.
