What is the standard process for residential customers choosing polished concrete floors?

For new houses the type of aggregate and concrete colour should be decided before the slab is poured.

Our potential builder has said they don't offer polished concrete flooring and if we want it - we'd have to organise after handover - is that a possible option?

Can I have my timber and carpet floors level with the concrete?

Do you have any tips about seeding a slab with pieces of glass and/or bottles?

Will polished concrete effect my in slab heating.

No, polished concrete is the ultimate finish for in slab heating.

What is the difference between CCC Polished Concrete and Grind and Seal?

CCC Polished Concrete is a top of the range method for finishing concrete floors.

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.
