Lavina Diamond Tools for Concrete Grinding & Polishing
AK Surface Solutions supplies professional Lavina diamond tools for concrete grinding, floor preparation, polishing, terrazzo restoration, stone care and commercial floor maintenance. This range includes metal bond diamonds, PCD’s, carbide scrapers, edge pads, transition tools, copper pads, heavy duty resins, NATO polishing pads and SupraShine maintenance pads.
SupraShine High Performance, Heavy Duty and Hybrid pads are specially designed for commercial floor maintenance. They work extremely well with scrubber dryers and are also ideal for re-polishing, concrete, terrazzo and stone floors.
High Performance and Heavy Duty pads are also very useful on polishing stone floors with lippage, helping to reduce the risk of picture framing while improving shine, clarity and surface appearance.
Metal Bond Diamonds
Metal bond diamonds are used for the first stages of concrete grinding. They help remove coatings, level uneven concrete and expose aggregate. Choosing the correct bond is important: for hard concrete use a soft bond, and for soft concrete use a hard bond.
For fully exposed concrete, a typical process is 30 grit, 70 grit and 120 grit metal bond. For a salt and pepper finish, many contractors start with 120 grit metal bond.

Razor Edge Pads 100mm & 125mm
Razor Ceramic Pads are ideal for edge grinding, surface refinement and detailed concrete work where larger tooling cannot reach.
These flexible pads provide strong surface contact, making them excellent for quicker scratch removal and smoother edge refinement. They work especially well with higher speed tools, helping contractors achieve a more consistent finish in less time.

Transition Tools
Transition tools are used after metal grinding to remove scratches before resin polishing. Copper pads are excellent for scratch removal after 120 grit metal bonds and should be used wet only. For dry transition work, Corsa Ceramic Hybrids are a strong option before moving into resin polishing.

Heavy Duty Resin & NATO Polishing Pads
Heavy Duty Resin Pads are used after hybrid or copper transition tools to remove scratches and refine the floor surface. Commonly used from 100 to 400 grit, they prepare the floor for final polishing.
After the Heavy Duty Resin stage, NATO Resin Pads are used to increase gloss, clarity and reflectivity, helping achieve a premium polished concrete, terrazzo or stone finish.

What grit should I use for fully exposed concrete?
For fully exposed concrete, a common process is 30 grit, 70 grit and 120 grit metal bond before moving to transition and resin pads.
What grit should I use for a salt and pepper finish?
For a salt and pepper finish, many contractors start with 120 grit metal bond to lightly expose the surface without cutting too deep.
Are copper pads used wet or dry?
Copper pads should be used wet only. They are excellent for removing scratches left by metal bond diamonds.
What are SupraShine pads best for?
SupraShine pads are best for commercial floor maintenance using water only. They are also suitable for restoring and polishing flat concrete, terrazzo and stone surfaces.
