Concrete Grinding & Surface Preparation

Abstract Floor Coatings diamond grinds every floor before coating it, never just pressure washing. Grinding removes the weak top layer and opens the concrete to a CSP 2–3 profile so the coating gets a strong mechanical bond. Every edge is ground to the same profile as the open floor, so the bond holds from wall to wall. Cracks and pitting are repaired before coating.

Common questions

Do you pressure wash the concrete or grind it?

We diamond grind it. Pressure washing cleans the surface, but it does not create the CSP 2–3 profile a coating needs to bond. Grinding removes the weak surface layer and gives the coating texture to grip.

Why do coatings peel?

Most peeling comes from poor preparation. A coating is only as good as the surface it is bonded to. When comparing installers, ask how they prepare the concrete, not just what products they use.

Do you grind the edges too?

Yes. We don't cut corners, we grind them. Every edge is mechanically ground to the same profile as the rest of the floor.

How long does installation take?

Most residential projects are finished in 1–2 days. The floor is walkable within hours and ready for vehicles shortly after it fully cures.

Is there a warranty?

Yes. Residential systems typically carry a lifetime manufacturer's warranty, depending on the system chosen.
