Commercial & Residential Polished Concrete in Ottawa
Looking for a modern, sustainable, and low-maintenance flooring solution?
Polished concrete is the perfect choice for architecture studios, retail spaces, and modern homes in the Ottawa region.
Our Multi-Step Polishing Process
Surface Preparation: We use planetary grinders to remove imperfections and ensure a perfectly level surface.
Densification: We apply high-quality densifiers to harden the concrete from within, increasing its lifespan.
Custom Finishes: Choose your level of sheen, from matte to high-gloss mirror finishes.
The Premium Mirror Finish
Style: High-Gloss / Full Aggregate Exposure
Description: This is our most prestigious finish. We perform a deep grind to reveal the large decorative stones (Full Aggregate) within your slab, followed by a high-grit polishing process.
Best For: Luxury residential interiors, high-end commercial showrooms, and modern office lobbies.
Key Benefit: Maximum light reflectivity and a "terrazzo-like" sophisticated appearance.
The Contemporary Industrial Look
Style: Medium-Gloss / Salt & Pepper Exposure
Description: A light-to-medium grind that reveals the fine sands and small stones (Salt & Pepper). It offers a beautiful, consistent texture that hides minor imperfections in the slab.
Best For: Retail spaces, modern cafes, and residential.
Key Benefit: The perfect balance between a decorative look and everyday practicality.
The Minimalist Natural Finish
Style: Low-Gloss (Matte) / Cream Finish
Description: This process focuses on the surface "cream" of the concrete without exposing the interior stones. It results in a smooth, monolithic, and organic look with a subtle satin sheen.
Best For: Modern minimalist homes, warehouses, and art galleries.
Key Benefit: Retains the raw, industrial character of concrete while providing a dust-proof, sealed surface.
What Else You Need to Know (Technical Details)
While the photos show the final look, the "invisible" steps are what make a Boreal floor last a lifetime:
Densification: During every project, we apply a chemical liquid hardener (densifier). This penetrates the concrete to increase its density and hardness, making it resistant to impact and dust.
Stain Protection: We finish every polished floor with a professional-grade "guard" or sealer. This creates a breathable barrier against oil, water, and common spills.
Slab Condition: Please note that the final look depends on the quality of your existing concrete. If your floor has cracks or deep stains, our Restoration & Repair service (where we patch and stabilize the concrete) is required before the polishing process begins to ensure a seamless result.
