HTC Superfloor™ - Definition
HTC Superfloor™ is a complete concept for polishing concrete. The method mechanically refines the concrete surface by removing the top cement paste and exposing the underlying, stronger concrete. The existing concrete is ground and polished according to a dependable and thoroughly tested method and the result is a floor with a completely even surface of a high quality, both functionally and aesthetically.
Several factors will affect the final appearance
- The stone quality and color
- The colour of the cement
- The concrete quality
The strength is measured in Mpa (megapascal) 1Mpa=10kp/cm²
- Grinding depth:
With different grit sizes and bonding matrix in the diamond segments you can somewhat control how deep you grind into the concrete surface. The grinding depth will affect how much of the stones that is exposed and also in turn the aestehetical appearance of the polished surface.

The results were unambiguous; HTC Superfloor™ is more economical and contributes to a better working environment. It has a low lifecycle cost, long endurance and is harmless to the environment.
