When do you add the colour?

Colours are added by the concrete supplier and are in the mix before the concrete sets.

What stage do you carry out the Polishing Procedure?

We usually would carry out a preliminary grind (Stage 1) approximately 5 – 10 days after the slab has been poured and grind to the required exposure.

What is the difference between a sealed floor and a polished floor?

A sealed floor (also known as a Grind and Seal) is machine grinding to the desired exposure followed by a Surface or Topical Sealer just like a timber floor.

We have a garage with a maroon type colour concrete floor. It has a few paint stains etc on it. I was thinking of giving it a good sanding, with some type of machine no doubt & then painting some kind of clear sealer on it. Can any concrete floor be sande

Yes, any concrete floor can be ground and sealed or mechanically polished.

Please refer to the Warehouse Exposure section on the website

Are concrete floors cold? Do we need to heat them?

Depending on where you live in the country, particularly in southern states heating would probably be preferred and radiates a lovely warmth. In warmer states and in summer down in the southern states nothing is cooler.

Can i have my polished floor repaired i’ve just had it done and it was a bad job?

Can cracks be filled?

Yes, but it is best to leave fine cracks for a couple of years as there may be a chance the cracks will close again with movement.

Can you polish the structural slab?

Yes! If not poured yet then we recommend it should be 32mpa.
