POLISHED CONCRETE
Polished concrete provides a hard-wearing, visually appealing finish suitable for any application or environment whether it is a new project or an existing floor renovation. Best suited for internal applications but can be altered to work in any environment including showers, bathrooms and pool surrounds. Polished concrete is like honed concrete but finished extremely smooth with a higher sheen. It combines the durability of concrete with the aestitic appeal of natural stone. Concrete is no longer thought of as that rustic basic building material.
Polishing is a process where the concrete is ground down to a level of aggregate exposure that is desired by the client. This can range from a light exposure of stone to a full exposure of stone. Polished concrete is increasingly becoming the preferred floor finish for interior designers and architects. It showcases a natural building style and is sustainable, providing an extremely hard wearing finish that is easy to maintain. The potential in the polished concrete design is only limited by your imagination. A wide range of coloured stones, oxides, glow stones and even coloured glass can provide endless aesthetic possibilities.
Your concrete is first ground to your desired stone exposure. The concrete is then grouted once the exposure is reached. After the grout process we move into grout removal and polishing. The concrete is then coated with a sealer and then buffed to produce a high-sheen finish, this increasing its durability and minimising scratching and general wear. This is extremely cost effective and it offers a beautiful finish for homes and commercial use.
