End of day 2. The grind is at 800 grit with logos embedded . Next will be 1500 grit. Should be done tomorrow. I will post pics of the final. Looks amazing already in person.

Looking at this thread i definetly overpaid for my floor! But it had a ton of large cracks and was very uneven so there was alot of prep work .

the floor was the very first thing i did when i bought my house. Reason being i needed my tools etc at the house for renovations and didnt want to have to leave all of my expensive equipment in the driveway for a week. Got the floor done the day after i closed escrow and moved all my shit over and was onto the remodel. It worked out well.

They use a stencil and a concrete stain, they can do multiple colored layers if the logo requires it. and the nice thing the floor is super durable and no maintenance.

Does the stencil adhere to the floor to keep the stain from bleeding beyond the edge? The lines apear so crisp and straight.

The stencil sticks to the concrete. But the way it adheres and the stain applied without bleeding is a trick they keep to themselves. I asked the same question.

Is the grinding process dusty or do they capture all the dust as they grind w/ a vacuum system? Do they use water while grinding too or is it a dry process? Will you have a sealer/top coat for the final finish?

No dust, it is all captured with equipment, one of the passes required a small amount of water but it all depends on your concrete and what each layer reveals. There is no top coat per say , they do use a certain type of spray that hardens the concrete between grinds. so there is nothing to peel up or refinish in the future as soon as they leave the building you can move equipment in.

OC Concrete, They are located out of Orange County, but they have a small division here in the Mojave area.
