Transforming Commercial Spaces with Finding 43: A Polished Finish That Lasts At Diamond Finish Floors, we take pride in delivering flooring solutions that combine aesthetics with performance. That’s why we’re excited to partner with Finding 43, a forward-thinking commercial real estate company in Idaho, on their latest project — a full-scale transformation of a high-traffic commercial space. Our team is currently grinding and polishing the concrete floors to create a sleek, long-lasting finish that’s built to handle the daily demands of retail, office, and industrial environments. Concrete polishing not only enhances the appearance of the space with a clean, modern look — it also strengthens the surface, improves light reflectivity, and reduces maintenance needs for years to come. From the first cut to the final polish, we approach every job with precision, professionalism, and an eye for detail. At Diamond Finish Floors, we know that the foundation of a great space starts at ground level — and we’re honored to help build that foundation for Idaho’s growing business community.

At Diamond Finish Floors, we believe concrete should do more than just serve a purpose—it should make a statement. One of our favorite ways to elevate freshly poured concrete is by adding glass aggregate to the mix. The result? A bold, custom look that reflects light, adds texture, and turns a standard slab into something truly unique. What Is Glass Aggregate? Glass aggregate is made from finely crushed, recycled glass that’s specially processed for use in decorative concrete. We mix it directly into the concrete before pouring, and once the surface cures, we bring in our high-powered grinders to reveal the beauty underneath. How It Works We pour the concrete as usual—but with glass aggregate mixed in. After the concrete cures, our team uses industrial grinders to carefully grind and polish the surface. The glass starts to show through, creating a polished, terrazzo-like finish that catches the light and adds dimension. We seal it for protection and shine—leaving a stunning, durable floor that stands out from the ordinary. Why Customers Love It One-of-a-kind look – Every pour is unique. The glass reflects light in ways standard concrete never could. Eco-friendly – Many glass aggregates are made from recycled materials. Easy to maintain – Once sealed, these floors are durable, smooth, and simple to clean. Versatile style – Works beautifully in modern homes, commercial spaces, and even garages or basements. It’s More Than a Floor—It’s a Feature This recent project is a perfect example: we poured a new slab, blended in colored glass aggregate, then ground and polished it down. What emerged was a sleek, high-contrast floor with flecks of shimmering glass—a design detail that instantly elevated the entire space.

Concrete floors are one of the most durable, low-maintenance flooring options available, but even sealed concrete needs regular care. At Diamond Finish Floors, we specialize in high-quality finishes—and we know how to help you preserve them. The best way to keep your floor seal intact is to clean it regularly with a pH-neutral cleaner and avoid harsh chemicals. For high-traffic areas, resealing every 2–3 years will keep the surface protected against moisture, stains, and wear. Our team offers custom maintenance plans depending on your floor type, finish, and usage patterns. Whether your concrete floor is in a residential garage or a commercial space, a little upkeep goes a long way in preserving its look and longevity.

At Diamond Finish Floors, we’re dedicated to bringing out the best in every surface we work on. Our recent project at Flying M is a perfect example of the craftsmanship, attention to detail, and hard work we put into every job. The Flying M project involved completely grinding and resurfacing their floors, taking them from worn-out and aged to beautiful, smooth, and polished surfaces. In this blog, we’ll take you through the process of transforming the floors at Flying M and explain why this type of flooring work is not only aesthetically pleasing but also crucial for long-term durability and maintenance. The Challenge: Aged and Worn Floors in Need of a Fresh Start Flying M, like many businesses, had floors that had seen years of traffic and use. Over time, the surfaces became scratched, worn down, and uneven. While the floors still functioned, they no longer represented the polished, professional look Flying M wanted for their space. Our goal was to bring new life to the floors, making them not only more visually appealing but also more durable and easier to maintain. Step 1: Grinding for a Smooth, Clean Surface The first step in this floor transformation was the grinding process. Using our state-of-the-art equipment, we carefully grinded down the existing floor surface. This wasn’t just about making the floors look better; grinding is a vital step in ensuring that the new surface adheres properly. It also removes any imperfections and rough patches that could affect the quality of the finished product. Grinding also opened up the pores of the concrete, which makes it easier for the new surface to bond securely. Our team used industrial-grade floor grinders to ensure that every inch of the floor was leveled and cleaned, ready for resurfacing. Step 2: Resurfacing for a Beautiful, Durable Finish After grinding, the next phase was resurfacing the floors to achieve a smooth, flawless finish. At Diamond Finish Floors, we specialize in using a variety of surface coatings, and for the Flying M project, we chose a method that would give them the aesthetic appeal and durability they needed. The resurfacing process involves applying a high-quality concrete overlay or finish to the ground surface. This layer smooths out any remaining imperfections and adds a new protective layer. Whether it’s a matte, glossy, or satin finish, the surface is left with a professional, sleek look that transforms the entire space. For Flying M, we worked closely with the client to choose the right finish that would match their vision and the functionality of the space. Whether you need a polished concrete floor for a high-traffic area or a more decorative finish for an aesthetic upgrade, Diamond Finish Floors has the experience and expertise to meet your needs. Step 3: The Final Product Once the grinding and resurfacing were complete, the Flying M floors were transformed into a stunning, smooth, and durable surface. The new finish not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal of the space but also improved the functionality of the floors. The new surface is easier to clean, less prone to wear and tear, and much more visually appealing. The sleek, polished finish enhances the ambiance of the space, providing a fresh, professional look. The team at Flying M was thrilled with the results, and the floors now serve as a lasting impression for clients and visitors to the business. Why Choose Diamond Finish Floors for Your Next Project?

When considering flooring options for your home, polished concrete may not be the first thing that comes to mind—but it should be! This durable and stylish flooring choice is becoming increasingly popular among homeowners looking for a sleek, low-maintenance, and long-lasting solution. At Diamond Finish Floors, we specialize in high-quality polished concrete that enhances both the look and functionality of your home. Here’s why polished concrete floors might be the perfect fit for you. 1. Unmatched Durability Polished concrete floors are incredibly strong and resistant to wear and tear. Unlike traditional flooring options that can scratch, chip, or fade over time, concrete withstands heavy foot traffic, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like kitchens, living rooms, and basements. 2. Low Maintenance and Easy Cleaning One of the biggest perks of polished concrete is its low-maintenance nature. Unlike carpet, which traps dust and allergens, or hardwood, which requires frequent refinishing, polished concrete only needs occasional sweeping and mopping to maintain its shine. No need for waxes or special treatments! 3. Modern and Stylish Aesthetic Polished concrete offers a sleek, minimalist look that complements a variety of home styles—from industrial and modern to rustic and contemporary. With different finish options, such as high-gloss or matte, and the ability to customize with stains or decorative patterns, you can achieve the perfect look for your space. 4. Cost-Effective in the Long Run While the upfront cost of polished concrete may be comparable to other flooring types, its longevity makes it a cost-effective investment. Because it doesn’t need replacing or refinishing as often as hardwood, tile, or carpet, you’ll save money on maintenance and repairs over time. 5. Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Polished concrete floors reflect light, which can help reduce lighting costs and brighten up your home naturally. Additionally, concrete has great thermal properties, absorbing and retaining heat during the day to keep your home comfortable and energy-efficient. Plus, because it utilizes an existing concrete slab, it’s an eco-friendly choice that reduces material waste. 6. Allergy-Friendly Flooring For those who suffer from allergies, polished concrete is an excellent choice. Unlike carpet, which harbors dust mites, pet dander, and mold, concrete floors are a hypoallergenic alternative that contributes to better indoor air quality. 7. Moisture and Stain Resistance Thanks to its sealed surface, polished concrete is highly resistant to moisture, making it a great option for basements and other areas prone to dampness. It also resists staining from spills, making it a practical choice for households with kids or pets. Upgrade Your Home with Polished Concrete from Diamond Finish Floors If you’re looking for a flooring solution that’s durable, stylish, and easy to maintain, polished concrete is the way to go. At Diamond Finish Floors, we specialize in high-quality concrete polishing to give your home a sleek and lasting finish.

When it comes to selecting the perfect flooring for your home or business, there are a variety of factors to consider—durability, aesthetics, maintenance, and functionality. Carpet, luxury vinyl plank (LVP), and concrete flooring each offer unique benefits, and understanding their differences can help you make an informed decision. At Diamond Finish Floors, we specialize in high-performance concrete flooring but recognize that every space has different needs. Here’s a breakdown of how these three flooring options compare. Carpet: Comfort & Warmth Carpet is a popular choice for bedrooms, living rooms, and offices where comfort is a top priority. Pros: ✔ Soft & Comfortable – Ideal for areas where you want warmth underfoot. ✔ Noise Reduction – Helps absorb sound, making it great for homes and office spaces. ✔ Variety of Styles & Colors – Customizable to fit any design aesthetic. Cons: ❌ Prone to Stains & Wear – Carpet absorbs spills and can be difficult to clean. ❌ Traps Allergens – Can hold dust, pet dander, and allergens, which may impact air quality. ❌ Shorter Lifespan – Compared to hard flooring, carpet tends to wear out faster, requiring frequent replacements. Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP): Versatility & Style LVP is a durable, water-resistant flooring option that mimics the look of hardwood, stone, or tile while offering easy maintenance and affordability. Pros: ✔ Water-Resistant & Durable – Great for kitchens, bathrooms, and high-traffic areas. ✔ Easy to Maintain – Simple to clean with regular sweeping and mopping. ✔ Affordable & Stylish – Provides a modern look at a lower cost than hardwood. Cons: ❌ Can Be Susceptible to Scratches – While durable, heavy furniture or sharp objects may cause damage. ❌ Not as Long-Lasting as Concrete – Although resilient, LVP may need replacement sooner than concrete. ❌ Can Fade Over Time – Direct sunlight can cause LVP to discolor. Concrete Floors: Strength & Longevity For those looking for industrial-grade durability and sleek aesthetics, polished concrete is an outstanding choice. Pros: ✔ Extremely Durable – Withstands heavy traffic, making it ideal for commercial spaces, garages, and modern homes. ✔ Low Maintenance – Requires minimal upkeep—just occasional sealing and cleaning. ✔ Energy Efficient – Retains and radiates heat, reducing heating costs in cooler months. ✔ Customizable Finishes – Options include staining, polishing, and decorative overlays to match any style. Cons: ❌ Can Feel Hard Underfoot – Unlike carpet or LVP, concrete does not have built-in cushioning. ❌ Initial Cost May Be Higher – While a long-term investment, upfront costs can be more than LVP or carpet. ❌ Prone to Cracking Over Time – Small cracks may develop, but professional sealing and maintenance can prevent major issues. Which Flooring is Right for You? Choosing between carpet, LVP, and concrete depends on your lifestyle, budget, and long-term goals. Carpet offers comfort, LVP provides versatility, and concrete delivers unmatched durability and modern appeal. At Diamond Finish Floors, we specialize in high-quality concrete flooring solutions for homes and businesses looking for a sleek, durable, and low-maintenance option.
