When do you add the colour?

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

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.

We have a tiled floor but they are old and don't look very good. We are thinking of going polished concrete but how do we get all the glue off and do we have to pour new concrete on top of the mess that will be underneath the tiles?

Usually this is not required, once the tiles have been removed the remaining glue and mess can be ground to a brand new surface. However there can be exceptions.

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

Smooth objects and/or objects that sit on the top of a slab might become dislodged from a polished floor leaving a hole.

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.

Can we put lights in our concrete?

We have a 13 year old polished concrete floor. In our high traffic areas, mainly the kitchen, the floor has lost its beauty & is looking dull. Is it possible to re polish a concrete floor?

The approach on rejuvenating your floor initally depends if the original floor was machine polished or if it was a grind and seal job.

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.
