GRIND & SEAL
What Is Grind & Seal?
Grind & Seal is a process that enhances existing concrete by grinding the surface to expose the stone beneath, then sealing it with a protective coating. This gives a natural, industrial look with either a matte or gloss finish, depending on your style preference.
At Garda Floors, we recommend Grind & Seal exclusively for outdoor areas such as garage, patios, pathways, driveways, and entertaining spaces. This is because sealing products, while protective, can wear down faster in high-traffic indoor environments and may require more frequent maintenance. Outdoors, however, it’s a practical and economical option that performs exceptionally well.
How Grind & Seal is Achieved
- Surface Grinding – The concrete is mechanically ground to expose the desired level of aggregate and remove surface contaminants.
-
Cleaning & Preparation – The surface is cleaned and prepped to ensure the sealer bonds effectively.
-
Sealing – A high-quality outdoor-grade sealer is applied to protect against moisture, staining, and weather exposure.
Key Benefits
