Do it once, do it right!Quick FAQs
-
Can you polish our concrete stairs?
Yes, but it can be expensive and a lot depends on how well the steps have been formed. If it is not too late contact us before your concrete is poured. "Call before you pour". If you stairs are already in place contact us and we can advise further. -
Can the slab be heated?
Yes, any slab can be heated. With in-slab hydronic heating on a polished concrete you will never live on a better floor.
-
What do you recommend to clean the floor with?
We use and recommend "Tough Green" Cleaner which is a low ph product. Available from Grinding Tools Australia -
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.
More info -
When do you put the stones in?
All concrete has aggregate in it.
-
At what stage should we polish?
About a week to 10 days after the slab is poured. -
What do you recommend not to use for cleaning a concrete floor?
Do not use any Bleach Based or Citrus Based Cleaners on a concrete floor. -
Should I add retarding agents to the concrete mix?
Do NOT add any retarding agents to a concrete mix that is going to be ground and sealed or polished. Retarding agents WILL affect the seal and may react badly with the polishing process. Simply apply a light sprinkle of water to the slab as required.
