Grinding & Polishing

Ace/Avant’s Specialty Division has Craftsman Level Certification from the Concrete Polishing Council of the ASCC. We offer a diverse range of polishing methods and products to produce craftsman level quality for your specific project.

01 Troika Polish

Ace Avant offers the Troika Polishing System – a 3-head Planetary Attachment that attaches to a skid steer. Up to 10,000 sf of open floor can be polished to completion in a multi-step process in a single day. The results are equal to walk behind quality with the added speed of 3 heads. The System is best suited for open floors greater than 10000 sf.

Power Trowel Polishing is a cost-saving system. Used alone it is ideal for a simplified system where extremely flat, well-placed floors can attain a good polish. This system often takes the same time as several walk-behind machines when working to attain the same class of aggregate and appearance of polish.

03 Walk-Behind Polish

In many instances, walk-behind polishers are the only option. We offer both wet and dry grinding as well as electric or propane with these machines. These are best suited for office/retail buildings and upfit projects.

No matter the size of type of project, Ace Avant can provide a method and solution for you!

Benefits of Polished Concrete

Retailers, schools, car dealers, offices, restaurants, manufacturing plants, and warehouse facilities are choosing polished concrete as a finished flooring because of its competitive advantages, as well as its aesthetic values. Some of the benefits of polished concrete are:

Cost Savings

Traditional floor-covering materials are eliminated when the existing concrete slab is polished.

Light Reflectivity Properties

Building owners, architects, and designers select polished concrete as it decreases the need for interior lighting, as well as projects a clean, professional image.

Extremely Low Life-Cycle Cost

Annual maintenance costs and life cycle costs are typically a fraction of traditional floorcoverings or epoxy resinous floor coatings.

Less Affected by Moisture Vapor Transmission Problems

A polished concrete floor will allow concrete slab moisture to transmit and “breathe”. Virtually all other floor coverings, flooring adhesives, and resinous floor coatings are extremely sensitive and have strict moisture limitations.

Joint Repair, Stabilization & Maintenance

Virtually all interior floor slabs have saw-cut control and construction joints. Over time, heavy point loads from material handling equipment, i.e. forklifts and pallet jacks will break the edges of these joints, causing them to spall out and worsen over time. A floor joint that has been properly cleaned, prepared, and filled with a joint filler will minimize or eliminate this damage.

Are bad floor joints hurting your employee’s productivity, damaging product and material handling equipment, and cutting into your bottom line? Are bad floor conditions and damaged joints causing back injuries or complaints from your forklift operators?

Ace Avant specializes in repair and stabilization of industrial concrete floors and joints. Almost all commercial and industrial concrete floors and floor joints require ongoing maintenance. Material handling operations conducted on unstable concrete floor slabs and joints can cause costly product and equipment damage, hinder productivity, and even pose a risk to employee health and safety.

JOINT REPAIR:

New Joint Filling/Sealing:

Ace Avant’s Specialty Division installs over 500,000 linear feet of interior slab joint fillers annually. We are a multi-manufacturer approved applicator, have state of the art dual component, joint filling pumps, as well as gas, propane, & electric powered clean out saws and vacuums that are used to properly prepare these floor joints.

Concrete Repair

While an extremely durable and strong structure, concrete is not immune to the elements. Concrete is a very porous structure, and if left unprotected, it will deteriorate over time.

Whether it is restoring and strengthening a parking structure, repairing a warehouse slab, or replacing a mezzanine deck, Ace Avant’s specialty crews have the necessary experience and training to ensure a successful repair.
