We have a garage with a maroon type colour concrete floor. It has a few paint stains etc on it. I was thinking of giving it a good sanding, with some type of machine no doubt & then painting some kind of clear sealer on it. Can any concrete floor be sande
Yes, any concrete floor can be ground and sealed or mechanically polished.

Is there much dust when you polish a slab? Do the neighbours need to be warned?
Our machine has a Dustless Vacuum System. Dust is kept to a bare minimum. -
Is it possible to have a polished concrete floor in a domestic house which will not crack and make the polishing ugly? Can concrete be reinforced to avoid cracking?
A structural slab and topping slab or screed should be reinforced but even with these measures there is no guarantee that the concrete will not crack. If your foundations move the slab will move which may cause cracking.

When is it the best time to speak to my polisher?
We prefer to be contacted as early as possible as we like to stay in constant contact during construction, guiding and overseeing the concreters – so “call before you pour”. -
Can I use a steam mop on my polished concrete floor?
