Everything you need to know about polished concrete.

The most versatile product in decorative concrete, polished concrete is an affordable and stunning addition to any residential or commercial property.

The design options are truly limitless when choosing to go with a polished finish for your application including coloured stains, coloured concretes, aggregates, stamps, and more.

It can even be sealed and treated in a way that gives it the appearance of more expensive products like granite and marble, giving your home or commercial space a high-end look without the exorbitant price tag.

Polished concrete can be described as the changing of a concrete surface using grinding and polishing machinery until the chosen level of finish is achieved. Obtaining a polished look for a concrete project is a longer process than other applications like exposed aggregate or liquid limestone, as there are quite a few added steps involved.

These steps ensure that the concrete application is ground to the right exposure, cracks and joints are sealed, the concrete is hardened and densified (to protect the concrete and reduce future maintenance), and then polished until it reaches the desired level of sheen.

You can also choose to apply a stain guard to your concrete application, which extends the life of the product and makes it easier to maintain. Polished concrete is well known for its durability and long lifespan. By hiring the right contractor for your application and if maintained properly, you can expect your polished concrete to last a minimum 20 years to a lifetime.

Popular applications for polished concrete.

Since it is such a versatile and durable product, polished concrete is the go-to choice for a wide variety of residential and commercial projects. Below are some of the most popular places for a polished concrete application.

Internal flooring

An increasingly popular option for new home builders and renovators, it is an economical choice since the existing slab of the home can be used for the application, saving time and money. It is also well known for being easy to maintain, making it the more popular choice for internal floors in many homes and commercial properties.

Kitchen & bathroom benchtops

Fully customisable, concrete is a beautiful and sturdy option for your home’s kitchen and bathroom areas. Homeowners who choose polished concrete for their benchtops love its ability compliment the space. It even looks great when tied in with a matching concrete floor or feature wall.

Commercial properties

Many office spaces, shopping centres, and buildings are making the leap from tiles to polished concrete floors because of their modern and easy-care properties. A simple dust mop and the occasional use of cleaning products is all you need to maintain the lustre of the application.
