What We Do

Concrete polishing that helps property managers return campus floors to durable, low-maintenance condition

Covering multi-stage diamond grinding, densifier application, sealer, and final buffing for specified sheen targets

Polished Concrete Finish
Multi-stage grinding to chosen sheen, then densifier and final buffing.
Densifier & Sealer Application
Densifier and sealer boost hardness and stain resistance for easier care.

Why Marietta Epoxy Flooring

Itemized grinding specs and humidity-aware cure schedules

Incorrect prep or ignoring humidity leads to uneven sheen, adhesion failures, and extended downtime for campus floors.

Common Challenges

Polishing projects delayed by campus schedules
Large campus areas require planned access and building coordination; mid-term work causes closures, extra coordination and extended project timelines.
High indoor humidity affecting cure and sheen
Moisture in campus buildings slows cure, reduces densifier effectiveness, and can produce patchy sheen or adhesion problems without humidity-aware planning.
DIY polishing risks uneven results and damage
Using rental grinders or skipping densifier creates an inconsistent profile, poor stain resistance, and increased long-term maintenance or rework costs.

How We Help

Consistent profile from diamond grinding
Multi-stage diamond grinding produces a uniform surface profile, improving polish consistency and reducing the risk of delamination.
Up to 1500-grit polishing for high gloss
Progressive grits through to 1500, followed by densifier and final buff, deliver a targeted high-gloss, low-maintenance finish.
Improved stain resistance with densifier
Densifier hardens the slab and increases stain resistance, reducing cleaning frequency in cafeterias, labs, and high-traffic areas.
Humidity-aware cure schedules
Cure plans account for indoor humidity and include staged material choices and extended cure times to protect adhesion and sheen.
Itemized quotes with material specs
Written estimates list grinding stages, products, layer thickness and cure schedules so facilities can budget and plan accurately.

Who We Help

Facilities teams, property managers, and dining or lab managers

Campus facilities teams scheduling large-area work
Facilities teams needing planned polishing during summer break to minimise class disruption and ensure timely handover of lecture halls and corridors.
Laboratory managers requiring chemical-resistant floors
Lab managers who need polished concrete with densifier and sealer to withstand chemicals, equipment traffic, and frequent cleaning.
Dining services managers reducing cleaning time
Cafeteria teams seeking stain-resistant, easy-clean finishes that limit downtime and meet slip-resistance needs for busy service periods.

How We Work

How concrete polishing works

A clear, three-step process from assessment to final inspection and handover.

Site assessment
We inspect slab condition, moisture levels, and traffic patterns to specify grinding stages, densifier type, and a campus access schedule.
Surface prep
Staged diamond grinding, degreasing, crack repair and profile verification prepare the slab for densifier and progressive polishing.
Polish & handover
Apply densifier, polish to chosen sheen, seal if required, then perform a curing inspection and customer walk-through.

About This Service

About this Service

Concrete polishing at Kennesaw State University grinds and polishes campus concrete—lecture halls, lab support spaces, dining halls, and administrative corridors—into a durable, low-maintenance surface suited to heavy foot traffic, routine cleaning, and institutional stain resistance.

Projects are planned around summer-break access windows to reduce disruption; equipment access, noise limits and occupied-building protocols affect sequencing. Surface prep follows multi-stage diamond grinding, lithium silicate densifier application, crack repair and progressive polishing to a target 800–3,000 grit, with optional buffing or topical sealer for food-prep or heavy-soil areas.

The expected outcome is a seamless, dust-reduced floor with improved abrasion and stain resistance, while final sheen depends on aggregate exposure and initial slab hardness. Large facilities are commonly phased and require humidity-aware cure scheduling to reopen spaces on a predictable timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about concrete polishing for campus facilities

Short answers on cost drivers, DIY risks, scheduling, and campus approvals.

Ignoring moisture can prevent densifier from penetrating and cause adhesion failures, patchy sheen, and premature wear. That often increases repair costs and downtime. Early moisture testing and humidity-aware cure schedules prevent failures.

DIY use of rental grinders risks uneven profile, burn marks, and improper densifier application. Poor results reduce stain resistance and often require professional remediation, raising total costs.

Yes. Coordinate with the university facilities office for approvals, scheduled access, and any contractor badge or permit requirements. Summer scheduling simplifies approvals and site access.

Cost depends on slab condition, area, target sheen, and prep needed. Quotes itemize grinding stages, densifier, and sealer so facilities can compare materials and timelines. Request a site estimate.

Yes. When combined with densifier and proper polishing, concrete tolerates heavy foot traffic and wheeled equipment while reducing dust and easing cleaning.

Small rooms often finish in one to three days including grinding, densifier and polish. Larger campus areas are scheduled in summer and include cure windows in the timeline.
