This finish is ideally completed after gyprock has been completed and prior to installation of all
cabinetry and skirting boards. Doing so prevents any water or machine damage to the above.
Walls should not be painted to prevent any touch ups after our job has been completed. Where
these conditions can't be met, we will do as much as possible to protect such surfaces.
Water and power to be provided by customer. Alternatively it can be arranged by us at extra cost.
This is a mechanically polished floor, a minimum of 4 passes are carried with our machine.
Process consists of:
- A light wet cut carried out (ideally no aggregate/stone should be exposed). Trowel and/or boot
marks or others imperfections on the concrete surface can’t be removed by this process.
- Heavy densifier concrete hardener is applied to all areas that are to be polished.
- Polishing commences with low grit polishing pads (this can be wet or dry depending on slab
conditions).
- 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 48hr curing period is recommended before continuing with the build (normal foot traffic is
acceptable after 6 hrs).
- Existing minor cracks and chips in concrete will be patched but an exact colour match is not
guaranteed. Excessive cracking and chips (from brick works, tool damage etc) will be
charged at a lineal meter rate (by prior customer agreement, we assess the situation before
commencing the job).
- Concrete steps or concrete faces are not included in the square meter rate. Quoted
upon inspection.
