you could also use ardex sdm we use that all the time for patching and filling in cold joints. you can buy it at almost any concrete supply place

the company i work for has pollished worse than that, i would overlay the floor with something like rapid set tru and then polish that savage but, i am quite partial to polished floors vs coatings my .02 even though i know you said polishing is out of the question, overlaying would adress...

what you need is a diamond impregnated pad that you would put under a floor machine like a propane powered high speed burnisher, then go over the whole floor with that to " rejuvenate " the sealer the best way to explain the way sealer / guard produces a shine is like this, immagine that the...

the biggest reason that price is so high is due to union wages and inssurance ect. we would prob. be willing to do a garage the size of mine ( as a side job ) for around 3k - 4500 depending on the condition of the floor and how elaborate the client wanted to go on dye work ect.

the particular machine i used was : werkmaster colossos propane we have quite a few different machines, almost all of our other machines are planetary grinders were as this one is most definitely NOT, im not sure what the policy of posting links so you should just google image search werkmaster...

yea, we just finished a huge terrazzo job, it looks SICK NOW, and we did a marble tile floor for this old building that turned out sweet! as to how its not slippery, the concrete is just as slippery as the floors in homedepot or any other concrete floor big box store, hope that answers your...

It is quite a bit, it also will last forever if you maintain it, it doesn't peel off abd doesn't need to be re applied, as far as could any one do it, the machines are not hard to use, but you have to understand hOw the floor react,I also don't know off any company that rents out grinders to any...

And yes, you could have stopped earlier and sealed the floor, we frequently do lower grit jobs for people that either don't want a shine or are to cheap to do a full polish

The cracks and joints are filled with a prodIct called polly urea, it's like a two part epoxy that will stretch and move with the slab And yes this took an entire weekend because i ground longer and deePer than I needed to, mostly to prove the machine was fixed, the dye is sealed in the slab and...

And thank you all again for the kind words!

You can walk on/park on it throughout the whole process, you just don't want to step I the sealer when it's wet and that's only like 20 minutes, the price we typically try to get peer square foot is between 6/9$ it's important to remember that out its a permanent low maintenance floor, so you...

looks slippery but it isn't, this is the same grade of polish alot of retail stores are going to now a days, they wouldn't be doing this if it posed much of a slipping / falling risk... thanks for all the kind words!

get yourself some ardex patch and spread it into the spals and cracks, then take a diamond cup wheel and grind down the high spots from when you spread the ardex on, and then go to town with whatever flooring option you want, epoxy / pollishing / tile ect.

NOT to bad for a weekends work if you ask me sorry for the huge pictures, but i guess at least it gives you more to look at lol. and as far as the lift goes, it is a bendpak xpr10a and i am QUITE happy with it
