Grind & Seal Concrete: An Affordable Upgrade by Top Flake Coatings

When it comes to concrete makeovers, not every space needs a full epoxy system. For homeowners and business owners looking for a clean, modern, and durable finish at a lower price point, a Grind & Seal is one of the best options available — and at Top Flake Coatings, it’s one of our most requested services.

Whether you’re in Topeka, Lawrence, Manhattan, Osage City, Olathe, or Junction City, here’s everything you need to know about what a Grind & Seal is and why customers love it.

What Is a Grind & Seal?

A Grind & Seal is a multi-step process that refreshes your concrete by removing imperfections and sealing the surface with a protective topcoat. It gives your concrete a clean, finished look — perfect for anyone wanting an industrial, natural concrete aesthetic.

Step 1: Grind

We mechanically grind the concrete using professional equipment to:

• Remove dirt, stains, and old coatings

• Smooth rough areas

• Expose a fresh surface

• Create a clean profile for the sealer to bond to

The result is a cleaner, more uniform slab that’s ready for sealing.

Step 2: Seal

Once prepped, we apply a high-quality sealer to:

• Protect the concrete from moisture and staining

• Enhance natural concrete color and character

• Provide a matte, satin, or gloss finish (your choice)

• Make it easier to clean and maintain

This is a simple yet highly effective way to protect your concrete without the cost of a full epoxy/high-build coating system.

Where Grind & Seal Works Best

A Grind & Seal is ideal for both residential and commercial spaces, including:

• Basements

• Garages

• Patios & porches

• Shops & warehouses

• Commercial entryways

• Retail spaces

• Restaurants & breweries

Its natural, polished-concrete appearance fits well with modern, industrial, and rustic designs.
