When is the best time to polish a new concrete slab?

The best time for us is usually about 1 week after the pour, I will inspect the floor and advise the best result for you.

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.

When do you add the colour?

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

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.

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.
