- Unusual Factors: It seemed like when they ran plumbing under the building, concrete that looked and felt different than the rest of the floor was applied in those areas. Since the floors had a different texture we filled the joints and cracks before and after coating the concrete floor.
Honing and Sealing Concrete Dawson County, Georgia Process

1. First, Southern States Refinishing used 30/40 grit diamonds to hone the floor. Diamonds are used to grind concrete floors smooth.
2. Next, a two inch cove base was hand applied. This is used to create a smooth transition between the wall and floor to meet inspection qualifications that restaurants need to follow.
3. After allowing the cove base to cure over night, epoxy was applied in the kitchen, over the cove base and the concrete floor.
4. Then, clear sealer was applied in the dining room. Sealer is used to protect the floor from everyday wear and tear. It is great for concrete floors that may have heavy foot traffic or when heavy equipment is going to be used in that area.
5. Lastly, Southern States applied a top coat to the epoxy in the kitchen and applied flakes to give the concrete floors a great, distinguished look.
Final Result: An economical, smooth, and durable floor that will not cause dust, is appealing to the eye and simple to clean.
