The affordable alternative to polished concrete
Grind and Seal is a popular, cost-effective alternative to traditional polished concrete. As the name suggests, Grind and Seal is a solution that involves grinding back the top layers of concrete then applying a topical sealer, which adds protection and shine.
Traditionally used in outdoor and industrial spaces, like garages, warehouses and backyards, Grind and Seal is becoming increasingly popular in residential, retail and commercial applications – and Sealplex has done it all. As Melbourne’s Grind and Seal experts, Sealplex can bring your concrete floors back to life, no matter how tired they’re looking.

The grind and seal process
In a typical Grind and Seal, the floor is ground twice – although this may vary depending on the desired finish. Once grinding is complete, grout is applied to the floor, followed by two coats of topical sealer in the finish of your choice (eg: matt, satin or high gloss). For a standard garage, the Grind and Seal process can usually be completed within two days. For larger homes or commercial spaces, it may take up to six days. In terms of maintenance, Grind and Seal coatings last between four to eight years, depending of the amount of use.
