CONCRETE COUNTERTOPS - Lessons Were Learned!

What happens here

Once the concrete slab is fully cured (several days later), a wet polisher with varying grits of diamond pads is used to polish the surface. Starting with a coarse grit (e.g., 60 grit), the polisher exposes the aggregate within the concrete, revealing its natural patterns and textures. Progressively finer grits are then used to achieve a smooth, refined, and aesthetically pleasing finish.

Goal: Achieve a smooth, exposed aggregate finish on the concrete countertop.

Tools and materials

  • Hearing Protection — Hearing protection during polishing
  • Safety Glasses — Eye protection during polishing
  • Water Hose — Supplying water for wet polishing
  • Wet Polisher iQ Power Tools — Polishing the cured concrete countertop
