Mechanically Polished Concrete is a process that is generally suitable for residential, commercial and industrial indoor concrete floor surfaces.

Durable, strong, low maintenance, and chemically resistant, polished concrete floors don’t just look great. These floors also offer incredible practical benefits that will serve your property well for many years to come. Polished concrete floors are also fast and easy to install, resistant to chemicals and spills, and can offer excellent slip resistance.

Along with value for money, it is also a healthier option as the floor is so well refined that it will not support the growth of toxic mould or dust mites, which is great for asthma or other allergy sufferers. Mechanically Polished Concrete brings together beauty, functionality, strength and it is easy to clean and maintain! It is also the environmentally sensible option as it makes use of the existing slab and minimises waste, and due to the reflective properties of the floor you can reduce your lighting requirements.

What makes polished concrete an ideal Floor choice?

• Better Slip Resistance - Provided that they are kept clean and clear of clutter, these floors tend to be less slippery than waxed surfaces, reducing Health and Safety issues and other associated risks.
• Resistant to Staining - The mechanical polishing process effectively seals the concrete floor and makes it dense enough to be resistant to water, oil and other contaminants.
• Good Aesthetics - No dirty grout lines, no fading, no yellowing, and no re-coating.
• Easy Maintenance - The nature of the surface means that less effort is required to keep the floor clean. Just use a dry microfiber mop to clean, and occasionally some water.
• Improved Reflectivity - Increases ambient lighting, making spaces fill with more light organically.
• Reduced Costs - Reduce your lighting, cleaning, and maintenance costs!

Polished Concrete finishes

Polished Concrete is fast becoming the number one choice when looking at flooring options. As well as being used widely in the commercial industry, it is fast gaining a reputation in the residential industry for being the environmentally sensible solution.  Its practicality coupled with the modern stylish look, along with easy maintenance and durability, has seen its popularity soar in recent years.
There are two types of polished concrete. The first is called a mechanically polished concrete and the second is commonly referred to as a grind and seal.

Mechanically polished concrete is a more high end finish and is for indoors only.  In this process it is the actual concrete itself that shines.  There is no topical coating that is applied, and therefore the finish will last you a lifetime if cared for and maintained properly.

The grind and seal method is a more cost effective option of getting a similar finish.  The process however involves a clear coating to be applied to the top of the concrete which will wear away over time.  It can also have a non-slip grip added and can be used both indoors and outdoors.  It is very popular for garages, driveways, shops, restaurants, bars, homes and offices.

With both methods of polished concrete, you are able to choose your level of stone exposure (how much aggregate you want to see coming through the floor), and you can choose the gloss level – matte, semi-gloss or high gloss.
