Polished Concrete Systems
The Concrete Shield™ range provides products for grouting, densifying and protecting polished concrete floors.
Concrete Shield™ Grout 1000
Fills pinholes and small surface imperfections during concrete grinding.
Best for: Preparing a smoother surface for polishing.
Potassium/Lithium Concrete Densifier
Hardens and densifies concrete while helping reduce dusting and improve abrasion resistance.
Best for: General, commercial and industrial floors.
Premium Lithium Concrete Densifier
Lithium silicate densifier designed for premium polished concrete systems.
Best for: Residential, retail, showroom and decorative polished concrete.
Concrete Shield™ Natural Look Enhancer
Penetrating finishing treatment that helps protect polished concrete while maintaining its natural appearance.
Best for: Natural-looking polished concrete finishes.
Prefer a Richer Finish?
Concrete Shield™ Wet Look Enhancer provides stronger colour enhancement for a deeper, richer concrete appearance.
Polished concrete is produced through a combination of mechanical grinding, surface refinement, concrete densification and final polishing. The Concrete Shield™ range provides products for the key treatment stages of this process.
Concrete Shield™ Grout 1000 is used during grinding to fill pinholes, small air pockets and minor surface imperfections. This helps create a smoother, more uniform surface before further grinding and polishing.
Concrete densification increases the hardness and density of the concrete. Potassium/Lithium Densifier provides an economical solution for general hardening, dustproofing and larger commercial or industrial floors. Premium Lithium Densifier is designed for premium polished concrete systems where the quality of the final polished finish is the priority.
After the required grinding, densification and polishing stages, Concrete Shield™ Natural Look Enhancer can be applied as a penetrating finishing treatment. It helps reduce the absorption of water, oil and grease while maintaining the natural appearance and character of polished concrete.
Where a richer, more colour-enhanced appearance is preferred, Concrete Shield™ Wet Look Enhancer provides an alternative penetrating finishing treatment.
The exact grinding sequence, densifier selection and final treatment will depend on the condition of the concrete and the required finish. Fortis technical support is available to assist with product selection and polished concrete systems.
A polished concrete system can include grinding, grouting, densification, progressive polishing and a final penetrating protection treatment.
Grout 1000 fills pinholes, small air pockets and minor imperfections exposed during grinding to help create a smoother surface for polishing.
Choose Potassium/Lithium Densifier for general hardening and larger industrial floors. Choose Premium Lithium Densifier for premium polished concrete systems.
A densifier penetrates and reacts within concrete to increase surface hardness, improve abrasion resistance and reduce dusting.
Natural Look Enhancer is a penetrating finishing treatment for polished concrete that helps repel water, oil and grease while maintaining a natural appearance.
Natural Look maintains a more natural concrete appearance. Wet Look provides stronger colour enhancement and a deeper, richer appearance.
No. A densifier reacts within concrete to increase hardness and density. A penetrating finishing treatment is used later in the system to help reduce liquid and stain absorption.
