Why are polished concrete floors popular today?

Polished Concrete floors have become very popular because they are a durable, scratch resistant, low maintenance and easy to clean.

What do you recommend to clean the floor with?

We use and recommend "Tough Green" Cleaner which is a neutral ph product. Available from Grinding Tools Australia

What about aggregates in concrete mix? What is generally available and what is recommended?

What is the best way to finish off a burnished floor?

Burnished concrete flooring can either be machine polished or coated with a penetrating sealer. Most people we work with usually opt for a machine polished finish.

Can cracks be filled?

Yes, but it is best to leave fine cracks for a couple of years as there may be a chance the cracks will close again with movement.

How do I care for Polished Concrete once I'm living on it?

Our potential builder has said they don't offer polished concrete flooring and if we want it - we'd have to organise after handover - is that a possible option?

Yes it is! As long as your new house is built on a concrete slab it can be polished.

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.
