Can a concrete floor be damaged and subsequently repaired?

A concrete floor though very hard and durable is not completely invincible. A floor can be damaged, for example, should someone hit the floor with a chisel. Sometimes, particularly if a slab was poured incorrectly with too wet a mix, a piece of aggregate (small stone) may become dislodged from the finished surface after a certain amount of time.

When do you add the colour?

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

When is it the best time to speak to my polisher?

Can we put lights in our concrete?

We are opening a cafe. The building we have purchased has lino glued to the floor. We are thinking of removing the lino and going for a polished concrete sort of industrial look. What would you suggest and how long after you have finished can we start?

Depending on the condition of the slab underneath, the size of the restaurant and the desired finish, this can all happen pretty quickly.

Does polished concrete save on lighting costs?

Can concrete hearths or steps be polished?

Hearths and steps can be polished. Steps will need to be stripped, hand trowelled and filled on the day of pour.

Is it possible to stain and polish concrete? (dark grey)

Yes. It is possible but the process can be expensive as far as the cost of the stain is concerned and the area of the slab.
