When is it the best time to speak to my polisher?
We prefer to be contacted as early as possible as we like to stay in constant contact during construction, guiding and overseeing the concreters – so “call before you pour”. -
What is the difference between grind and seal and machine polished concrete?
The grind and seal process is very similar to how wooden floor boards are finished. i.e. grind/sand to a smooth finish and then paint with a sealer. Where a timber floor is sanded and then sealed, a concrete floor is ground smooth with specialist grinding machinery.
