What is Grind/Seal?

Grind-and-seal transforms bare concrete into a protected, professional surface without the multi-step process of full polishing. We diamond grind to remove surface contaminants and create a clean profile, then apply our premium 3-coat BallistiX system: two coats of BallistiSeal ADVANCED (a proprietary polyester blend with exceptional cross-linking density) followed by Black Label protective topcoat. This isn't a simple penetrating sealer—it's a high-performance coating system designed for warehouses, automotive shops, retail stores, and anywhere concrete needs serious protection.

How It Works

We diamond grind the concrete surface to remove laitance, contaminants, and minor imperfections while creating proper mechanical adhesion. After thorough cleaning, we apply two coats of BallistiSeal ADVANCED—a two-component polyester-based system with proprietary 'Stealth Coat' technology that delivers superior chemical and mechanical resistance. The final layer is Black Label, a high-performance topcoat with 30% enhanced chemical and abrasion resistance compared to standard sealers. This 3-coat system creates a high-gloss, low-VOC finish that stops dusting, resists staining, and handles heavy traffic.

Care & Maintenance

Sweep or dust mop regularly to remove abrasive grit. Clean with pH-neutral cleaner and water—the sealed surface releases dirt easily. Avoid harsh chemicals that can degrade any coating over time. Unlike bare concrete that constantly dusts, your sealed floor stays clean and protected. High-traffic areas may benefit from periodic Black Label reapplication to maintain maximum protection and appearance.
