Normal Dentification Work

Normal dentification work is a method designed to achieve a sleek, smooth surface on concrete floors while preserving its natural aesthetic. The process involves lightly polishing the uppermost layer of concrete, creating a clean and subtle finish that doesn’t expose the underlying aggregate. Ideal for both residential and commercial applications, this technique highlights the natural color of the concrete, giving it a minimalist, elegant look with a normal glossy sheen.

In the normal dentification process, the top layer of the concrete is gently polished using specialized equipment. Unlike more aggressive grinding techniques, normal dentification keeps the concrete’s surface intact, avoiding deep cuts that would expose the aggregate. It’s perfect for spaces where a refined, polished finish is desired without losing the material’s natural characteristics and is achieved in just five simple steps.

Overview, Challenge & Materials

Advanced tools and techniques are employed to ensure the floor achieves a flawless polish, combining beauty with resilience.

Challenge

Surface Uniformity: Key to this process is securing a smooth and consistent finish across the floor without any streaks or textural variations.
Moisture Control: Proper management of moisture levels is critical to avoid discoloration and ensure an even finish throughout.
Durability: It is essential that the polished surface withstands daily wear and tear while maintaining its aesthetic appeal.
Maintenance: Although the polished floors are striking, they require regular cleaning and occasional re-polishing to preserve their luster.

Materials

Concrete Surface: This is the foundational material for polishing, which must be pristine and free from any particles or debris.
Polishing Tools: Utilize top-tier concrete grinding and polishing machines equipped with fine-grit pads to achieve a refined finish.
Sealants and Hardeners: These are applied to safeguard the polished surface and bolster its durability.
Finishing Cream: A specialized cream used to boost the gloss and enhance the overall finish of the floor.
Protective Gear: Essential safety gear including gloves, goggles, and masks to protect workers during the polishing operation.
Buffers and Burnishers: Employed in the final stages to extract a high-gloss shine from the polished surface.
