What areas on a residential property are best for polished floors and for what style of house?

All areas of a house can be polished. The polishing process can be applied to any house, new or old, that was built on a concrete slab.

How do you maintain a floor once polished?

We will leave a cleaning pack, which contains a Microfiber Mop, Cleaner and Maintenance sheet on site with every job.

Do I need to advise the concreter and or supplier that the concrete will be polished?

Yes, this will avoid the concrete supplier from sending truck deliveries from different depots and using different batches of concrete. The concreter can then also take special care to avoid screed marks and aggregate inconsistency.

What happens if someone spills petrol or turps on a polished concrete floor?

In a new build polished concrete floors are completed at the plaster stage before any skirts, cabinetry and joinery is installed.

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.
