Concrete Floor Grinder Hire

Hire a concrete floor grinder for removing rough and uneven concrete, polishing concrete, preparation of terrazzo floors and removing sealant and paint from concrete.

We hire a range of diamond heads and inserts for use on new concrete, old concrete and the removal of paint, sealants and glues.

Is it necessary to use water with a floor grinder?

No. Water is only used to keep down dust. But the resulting slurry can be difficult to dispose of so we recommend using a vacuum. Of course if you’re grinding a driveway or outside, water may be perfect.

Can a vacuum be attached to the concrete grinder?

Yes. Fitting a vacuum is the easiest way to keep the operator comfortable while grinding concrete. And our vacuums collect the dust in a diposable bag.

How big and area can you complete with a Better Rentals’ Floor Grinder?

We’d happily recommend our machines to clean up rain damage on a house slab or for grinding a driveway, patio or 1 or 2 rooms.

Stones

  • Light duty removal of trowel marks or rain damaged slabs.
  • Max grinding depth: < 0.5mm
  • Can be used to smooth out scratches caused by more aggressive diamond.
  • Diamond Wedges – 40 grit

  • Heavier duty and more aggressive grinding than the stones.
  • Grind off high spots or complete the removal of grout and rough spots after removing tiles.
  • Maximum grinding depth: up to 1.5mm
  • Leaves swirl marks so don’t use in areas where “aesthetics” are important. (Stones can smooth these).
  • Floor Grinder – 200mm

    Use for cutting back concrete for an “exposed aggregate” look.

    Can be used to grind concrete up to a wall.

    Remember, “polishing” concrete is like sanding – start with course grade diamond and continue with higher grade for a smooth finish.
    And of course the finish you get depends upon how the concrete was poured and its quality.

    Diamond Disk – 25 grit (Colour – Grey)

  • Leaves swirl marks but very effective in removing lips in foot paths.
  • Diamond Disk – 120 grit (Colour – Yellow)

  • Use to smooth out the scratches from heavier grade diamond head.
  • Maximum grinding depth: <1.5mm. Only use for smoothing out.
  • Floor Grinder – 300mm

    Used for the same purposes as the 200mm grinder – but for bigger areas. It has a larger head and spins faster.
