Are concrete floors cold? Do we need to heat them?

Depending on where you live in the country, particularly in southern states heating would probably be preferred and radiates a lovely warmth. In warmer states and in summer down in the southern states nothing is cooler.

What is the difference between CCC Polished Concrete and Grind and Seal?

CCC Polished Concrete is our top of the range finish.

At what stage should we polish?

Can I have burnished concrete flooring in a family home?

The quality of a burnished floor comes down to the quality of the concrete contractor. The contractor will typically run a powered trowel or "helicopter" over the wet concrete slab and with experience and care can achieve quite a smooth finish. It is not easy and any imperfection, gouge or non-level area or dip will be very visible in the final concrete floor.

Is it possible to stain and polish concrete? (dark grey)

Yes. It is possible but the process can be expensive as far as the cost of the stain is concerned and the area of the slab.

Can you do a polish on a 12 year old concrete slab?

Yes, we can polish existing slabs.  Please refer to our Warehouse Exposure section on the website or visit our showroom where we can show you an example of an existing slab that has been polished.

What stage do you carry out the Polishing Procedure?

We usually would carry out a preliminary grind (Stage 1) approximately 5 – 10 days after the slab has been poured and grind to the required exposure.

What about colour in our slab floor? What colours can our concrete be and when is the colour added?
