Upgrade your industrial or commercial floors with a salt and pepper polished concrete finish that offers durability, aesthetics, and easy maintenance.
BECOSAN® provides expert salt and pepper polished concrete services across the UK, delivering a hard-wearing, dust-free surface with a distinctive speckled look. Our advanced polishing system enhances your existing concrete, resulting in a professional finish that stands out for its quality and long-term durability.
A Salt and Pepper Polished Concrete finish is the result of a light grinding and polishing process that removes approximately 1–3 mm of the concrete surface, exposing fine sand and small aggregates beneath. However, to ensure a durable, dust-free, and high-performance industrial floor, a systematic treatment is required.
At BECOSAN®, we follow a proven 4-step process, where the polishing process is carried out at every stage, incorporating densification and sealing to enhance durability and resistance:
We begin by grinding and polishing the concrete surface using industrial diamond tools, removing the top layer. This controlled process reveals fine sand and small aggregates, creating the characteristic Salt and Pepper effect while refining the texture of the floor.
As the polishing continues, we apply the BECOSAN® Densifier, which penetrates the concrete and chemically strengthens the surface. This step increases hardness, prevents dusting, and enhances resistance to wear, ensuring the floor is tough enough for industrial use.
Using finer abrasives, we continue polishing to further smooth the surface, reducing porosity and enhancing overall durability. This process ensures a uniform finish with improved mechanical properties, ideal for high-traffic industrial environments.
In the final stage, we apply the BECOSAN® Protective Sealer, which reinforces resistance to stains and liquids while preserving the natural look of the concrete. The last polishing stage ensures an optimal finish, leaving the floor sealed, robust, and easy to maintain.
With this step-by-step process, BECOSAN® guarantees that your Salt and Pepper Polished Concrete floor will not only look impressive but also perform exceptionally well in demanding industrial environments across the UK.
The floor is mechanically polished and chemically hardened with the BECOSAN® Densifier, creating a resilient, non-dusting surface that withstands heavy traffic and industrial machinery.
The BECOSAN® Protective Sealer reduces liquid absorption, making the floor more resistant to stains. If spills are cleaned promptly, they will not leave permanent marks, ensuring straightforward maintenance.
The polished surface enhances natural and artificial lighting, reducing the need for excessive illumination while maintaining anti-slip properties for workplace safety.
The Salt and Pepper finish requires less grinding than full aggregate exposure, meaning quicker installation, reduced costs, and minimal disruption to your operations in the UK.
