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.

What happens if someone spills petrol or turps on a polished concrete floor?

Is all standard concrete the same?

No, the aggregate varies depending on whether it is, for example, white pebble or granite based. There are also different qualities. A visit to our showroom will show you the differences.
