Projects
At Grind & Polish, we take pride in showcasing the wide range of flooring projects we’ve completed across the Kapiti Coast, Palmerston North, Whanganui, and the Central North Island. Every project tells a story — from preparing new concrete slabs before a home is built, to polishing residential kitchen floors, sealing outdoor pool surrounds, and transforming commercial spaces with durable, modern finishes.
With years of experience and the latest concrete grinding and polishing technology, we’ve worked on everything from small residential renovations to large-scale commercial flooring projects. Our goal is always the same: to deliver a polished concrete floor that is beautiful, functional, and built to last.
These project highlights give you an inside look at the different services we provide — including pre-grind preparation, concrete polishing, coloured sealing, and ride-on floor removal. No two floors are the same, and we love working with our clients to create a customised solution that fits their space and lifestyle.

KAPITI COAST
PRE-GRIND BEFORE A NEW HOME BUILD
On the Kapiti Coast, we were called in before the house was even built. The builders needed the concrete slab prepared, so we carried out a full pre-grind.
Doing a pre-grind early is one of the best ways to get a smooth, level surface that will be ready for polishing once the build is complete. It removes imperfections, strengthens the slab and sets up the floor for a flawless finish.
By getting in before the walls go up, we make sure the concrete is ready for years of durability and style. Many Kapiti Coast homeowners and builders choose this option to save time and achieve a higher-quality polished concrete floor at the end of the project
PALMERSTON NORTH
POLISHED CONCRETE FLOORS
In Palmerston North, our team polished concrete floors for a new home build. The key here was timing, we carried out the polishing before the gib went up.
This allowed us to achieve a consistent, smooth polish right across the floor without worrying about working around walls. Once complete, we laid down a protective floor covering to keep the polished surface safe during the rest of construction.
The homeowners will move into their new house with a floor that’s ready to go, tough, low-maintenance and beautiful. More and more Manawatu region homeowners are turning to polished concrete because it looks modern and is built to last.
WHANGANUI
POLISHED CONCRETE KITCHEN FLOOR
In Whanganui, we polished a concrete floor for a kitchen renovation. Kitchens need flooring that’s durable, practical and easy to clean. Polished concrete ticks all the boxes.
The final result was a sleek, modern finish that reflects light and adds style to the heart of the home. It’s a flooring option that handles daily wear and tear while still looking fresh years down the line.
Homeowners in Whanganui and across the Manawatu-Whanganui region are choosing polished concrete for kitchens, living spaces and whole-home flooring because of its unbeatable combination of style and strength.
CENTRAL NORTH ISLAND
OUTDOOR POOL SURROUND WITH CONCRETE COLOUR SEALER
This job in the central North Island was all about sealing and protecting an outdoor pool area. Instead of grinding or polishing, we applied a coloured concrete sealer.
The sealer protects the concrete against UV, pool chemicals and weather damage, while also giving the pool surround a smooth, even finish. It keeps the area looking clean and sharp, even with heavy foot traffic in summer.
Sealing is a smart investment for outdoor areas. Whether it’s pool surrounds, patios or driveways. It helps extend the life of concrete surfaces and keeps them looking their best for longer.
