After the initial grinding steps were completed, decorative saw cuts were made to delineate between colors. Control joints were filled with color matched material to further enhance the look. The surface was then honed to 200 grit before the three colors of dye were installed. A hardener was applied to strengthen the surface and lock the dyes into the concrete. The final steps of polishing were completed using 400 grit and 800 grit diamond tools. A guard was then applied and burnished onto the surface.
