We have a 13 year old polished concrete floor. In our high traffic areas, mainly the kitchen, the floor has lost its beauty & is looking dull. Is it possible to re polish a concrete floor?

The approach on rejuvenating your floor initally depends if the original floor was machine polished or if it was a grind and seal job.

Will concrete crack?

There is no guarantee that concrete will not crack.

What does exposure mean?

Exposure is the amount of aggregate (rock, quartz, pebble etc) that is able to be seen as a result of the grinding process.

Can wet areas be polished?

Wet areas can be polished however we highly recommend that showers be either tiled or use traditional shower bases.

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 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.

What happens if someone spills petrol or turps on a Grind and Seal or a Hyperfloor?

Wipe as soon as possible with a damp cloth.

Is there much dust when you polish a slab? Do the neighbours need to be warned?
