What about colour in our slab floor? What colours can our concrete be and when is the colour added?
Color can be added to your mix at the time of pouring, this needs to be discussed with your concrete supplier. Ask your supplier for there color range and we recommend that you double the strength to allow for some fading. -
Can grout lines be removed from concrete floors when polishing an old slab
It depends on how deep the grout lines are. We usually grind 3 – 5mm off the surface but can grind up to 10mm off so if they are deeper than that then they may still be visible in the finish.
