Your Options
The first step in developing your plan for polished concrete is determining the level of aggregate exposure you desire.
| Class | Name | Surface Cut Depth | Appearance |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Cream | Very Little | Little aggregate exposure |
| B | Fine Aggregate (Salt and Pepper) | 1/16 inch | Fine aggregate exposure with little or no medium aggregate exposure at random locations |
| C | Medium Aggregate | 1/8 inch | Medium aggregate exposure with little or no large aggregate exposure at random locations |
| D | Large Aggregate | 1/4 inch | Large aggregate exposure with little or no fine aggregate exposure at random locations |
The next step is determining the level of clarity and sheen.
| Level | Name | Reflective Clarity | Reflective Sheen | Grit Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ground | Flat appearance with no to very slight diffused reflection | None to very low | Below 100 |
| 2 | Honed | Matte appearance with or without slight diffused reflection | Low to Medium | 100 to 400 |
| 3 | Semi-Polished | Objects being reflected are not quite sharp and crisp but can be easily identified | Medium to high | 800 and higher |
| 4 | Highly-Polished | Objects being reflected are sharp and crisp as would be seen in a mirror-like reflection | High to highest |
