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

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.

Can I have the timber and carpet floors level with the concrete?

Yes, most definitely. Levels are another important reason for you to communicate with your Builder and Concreter.

Do you have any tips about seeding a slab with pieces of glass and/or bottles?

Smooth objects and/or objects that sit on the top of a slab might become dislodged from a polished floor leaving a hole.

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.

What is grouting?

All concrete naturally has holes that can also be heightened in the grinding process. Not all floors require grouting. It is the client’s decision as to which “look” they desire and if a smoother look is required, grouting takes place to even up the floor.
