While both PowerFloating and Planetary Polishing produce polished concrete, they achieve very different outcomes.
PowerFloat polishing is carried out during the concrete finishing process, creating a dense, durable surface with a subtle sheen. It is often used where speed, performance and cost efficiency are key considerations.
Planetary polishing is a multi-stage grinding and polishing process completed after the concrete has cured. It offers greater control over aggregate exposure and gloss, making it the preferred choice for projects where the concrete floor is a key architectural feature.
The right method to use depends on the intended use of the space, the desired aesthetic and the project's performance requirements. Understanding the difference at the design stage helps ensure the finished floor delivers exactly what's expected.
