buffed or polished

Explanation:
From the context it looks like the finish of a floor, probably cement (hormigón) and it's talking about the surface or finish. So I understand "a la cinta" as "carried out by a buffing machine/ buffer/ polisher". The machine for bringin out a shine is (or can be) a buffer (or rotary buffer)

I found this reference for flooring: (as you said "pisos")

ASFALTOS EN FRÍO

Los asfaltos en frio son asfaltos modificados con polímeros que le dan unas características particulares que lo hacen apto para usos múltiples. Entre las características más sobresalientes podemos citar la alta elasticidad y resistencia a las deformaciones del producto y el gran poder adhesivo de sus componentes que permiten realizar carpetas de rodamiento de muy bajos espesores (de 15 a 30 mm). Estas carpetas de asfalto modificado logran solados de muy bajo peso, altamente adaptables a cualquier tipo de uso, especialmente apto para transito pesados y de gran desgaste. La terminación superficial puede ser tratada de diversas maneras, permitiendo tener acabados rústicos o estampados, terminaciones a la cinta o llaneados mecánicos.

I hope you find this useful! Good luck.
