Can we try and make a colourful patterns or artworks in our floor using glass or coloured stone?

Yes you can but this can be tricky as it is necessary that the beads etc are at the right depth in the concrete to allow correct exposure on grinding. Together with your imagination and our technical advice we can aim to achieve the best finish possible.

What exactly is a warehouse finish and can it be used in a home?

The warehouse finish is typically used for any pre-existing or "old" slab.

Can the new polished floor get damaged after its polished during the rest of the build?

On completion of machine polishing the floors we recommend to cover with Ramboard™ Floor Protection until the end of the build.

Can you polish the structural slab?

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

Can grout lines be removed from concrete floors when polishing an old slab

It depends on how deep the grout lines are. We usually grind 3 – 5mm off the surface but can grind up to 10mm off so if they are deeper than that then they may still be visible in the finish.

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.

How does the process differ from having tiled, carpeted, or timber floors?

In a new build polished concrete floors are completed at the plaster stage before any skirts, cabinetry and joinery is installed.

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.
