Level of grinding and final finishes. How much stone should be visible & how durable should a floor be?
Type of final exposure
Level of grinding required for your floor (how much stone do you want to see)
CCC Full Exposure
Full exposure of aggregate for those wanting a full stone affect.
CCC Random Exposure
Nil exposure to full exposure. Motley in colour and look, easy to live with and maintain, very popular as it has much character. Exposure rate of aggregate depends on the condition of the slab.
CCC Warehouse Finish
Typical warehouse finish. Ideal for older slabs that are susceptible to staining, cracking and other blemishes that have appeared over the years. A rusty, earthy type of look and feel.
CCC Light Random Exposure
Also referred to as surface polish or Salt and Pepper finish. This is where the least possible exposure of aggregate and sand is sought. Concrete must have been laid correctly by experienced concreters.
CCC Burnished Finish
Care needs to be taken not to confuse this finish with POLISHED CONCRETE that has a nil or salt and pepper finish. A highly, burnished finish is just cleaned and sealed! Neither does it have the durability of POLISHED CONCRETE.
Type of final surface finish
How durable a floor will be and what its texture will be like.
