Is Polished Concrete slippery?

Just like any hard flooring it will be slippery when wet.

Is there much dust when you polish a slab? Do the neighbours need to be warned?

What does exposure mean?

Exposure is the amount of aggregate (rock, quartz, pebble etc) that is able to be seen as a result of the grinding process.

What other factors/variables to do with the cement layer and concreter are important for ensuring the polished concrete job is finished perfectly?

New home builders should consult with their concrete polisher to ensure that their slab is poured with concrete polishing in mind.

I have a polished concrete floor about 9 years old but it is starting to look dull and tired. Can the surface be re-polished or buffed to give it more life?

Polished Concrete floors should require very little maintenance if done correctly. Please see our maintenance sheet for Polished Concrete floors. 

Where can I see polished concrete?

What is the standard process for residential customers choosing polished concrete floors?

For new houses the type of aggregate and concrete colour should be decided before the slab is poured.

What is the grinding process?

Grinding or honing is the process that removes the surface layer of concrete leaving the aggregate exposed to a smooth, matt, low maintenance finish.
