This finish will show a bigger cluster of stone in some areas of the slab, this is random and can’t
be controlled. The exposure will depend on the flatness and height variations found throughout
the slab. This finish is a more popular choice for renovations, but can also be accomplished on
new slabs. If your house is a project build this might be a more difficult finish to accomplish if
island benches and other appliances have been installed (this is the reason we perform the first
part of this finish 7 days after slab has been poured).
Note: Stone size and quantity of stone cannot be guaranteed or controlled.
Water and power to be provided by customer. Alternatively it can be arranged us at an extra cost.
This finish is completed in 2 stages. On project builds, this might be done during 2 consecutive
weeks.
STAGE ONE:
Must be completed 7 days after slab is poured. (Not applicable on project builds)
This finish is completed in 2 stages:
- Usually a middle grit cut its Carried to flatten the surface (usually dry but water might be used if concrete its too hard)
- A grouting pass at a finer grit in conjunction with liquid grout
- Heavy densifier sprayed across the surface
- This process usually takes 1-5 days depending on slab size
- Some builders often cover the surfaces for extra protection, breathable products are recommended (such as Ramboard, Rhino board) if doing so, beware of tapping onto the slab surface as this might leave a shadow imprinted of the surface that can't be removed by our processes, avoid using any type of plastic, vinyls or any other non breathable protection. We aren't responsible for any damages cause by any of this products
- Builders (or the owner) to supply rubbish bin to dispose of all the waste (dust bags and other materials) if bin is not available we can pile everything up, or dispose of these at an extra cost. ($500)
STAGE TWO:
This finish is ideally completed after the gyprock is completed and priorto installation of all cabinetry and skirting boards. Doing so prevents any water or machine damage to the above. Ideally walls should be only been primed and not have painted completed because slurry will be produced by the first wet cut.- A second fine grit grout its carried
- Heavy densifier concrete hardener is applied to all areas that are to be polished.
- Polishing commences with low grit polishing pads.
- Another densifier layer is applied.
- Higher grit polishing pads are used to achieve desired shine (low, mid or high shine are available to choose from)
- Penetrating sealer is applied as the last step of the process.
A 48 hr curing period is recommended before continuing with the build (normal foot traffic its acceptable after 6 hrs).
- Existing minor cracks and chips in concrete will be patched but an exact colour match is not
guaranteed. Excessive cracking will be charged at a lineal meter rate (by prior customer agreement).
- Concrete steps or concrete faces are not included in the square meter rate.
Quoted upon inspection.
