Polished concrete floors provide an affordable alternative to expensive floor treatments, with a wide range of colours and finished that are comparable in terms of appearance, to those of tiles, vinyl and cork. They are energy efficient and offer a low maintenance and dust free floor.
The concept of a polished finish dates back some 20 to 30 years and was originally used to describe the process whereby a typical grey or coloured concrete floor was coated with a wax product and then highly polished.The wax used was generally powdered beeswax. The surface was then polished by rubbing vigorously with a soft cloth, hence the term "polished concrete floors".

Frequently Asked Questions
Report
The term polished concrete describes a decorative floor finish which leaves the concrete exposed as the final finish. Polished exposed aggregate finishes are achieved by grinding the surface of the slab to expose the aggregate or stones within the concrete or topping mix. The first step involves grinding the concrete to reveal the aggregate within.
