Is cement polishing the same as concrete polishing?
While the terms "cement polishing" and "concrete polishing" are often used interchangeably, they refer to slightly different processes. Concrete is a composite material composed of cement, aggregates (like sand and gravel), and water. When we talk about concrete polishing, we are referring to polishing the entire concrete surface, which includes the cement and aggregates. This process exposes the aggregates within the concrete, adding a unique texture and visual appeal to the floor.
Cement polishing, on the other hand, specifically targets surfaces made purely of cement. This is less common since most flooring applications use concrete rather than pure cement. However, the techniques used for both processes are quite similar, involving grinding, honing, and polishing to achieve the desired finish. Both methods result in a durable, attractive, and easy to maintain surface, but the visual outcomes can differ due to the presence of aggregates in concrete polishing.
