Polished concrete floor seeded with glass aggregate in a terrazzo-style finish

Polishable Concrete Overlays

A polishable overlay is a cement-based layer placed over an existing slab and then ground and polished. It gives a tired or patched floor a new, polishable surface without removing the concrete underneath.

Where it works well

  • Slabs too worn or patched to polish directly
  • Interiors where tear-out is not practical
  • Floors that need aggregate, color or a terrazzo-style look
  • Commercial spaces wanting a low-maintenance polished floor

What makes the finish distinctive

Sheen is a choice, not a default — matte, honed or high gloss. Aggregate or glass can be seeded into the overlay before polishing to expose color and sparkle as the surface is ground.
