Frequently Asked Questions
- A: Almost any concrete floor. Floors which are saturated with oil, or are in environments where they will constantly be exposed to acids, are probably not ideal for a polished concrete floor. Whether a new construction or a 100 year old slab, most concrete floors can benefit greatly from the aesthetic, durability, and longevity of polishing.
Q: Can any concrete floor be polished? - Concrete | Polishing Natural Stone
Other FAQs :
- Q: How slippery is polished concrete?
- A: Many suspect a highly polished concrete floor would become more slippery-and thus more of a problem. Contrary to common perception, the degree of polish or shine is not directly related to slip resistance. Just because polished concrete is shiny doesn't mean it is slippery. If the right processes are applied both internally and/or externally, testing has shown that polished concrete will meet or exceed Australia/New Zealand standards for slip resistance. (Please bear in mind any floor finish can become slippery when wet.)
- Q: How do I measure the size of the concrete area?
- A: We recommend that you measure each concrete area separately. The simplest way to measure is by multiplying the width by the length. For example a room that is 3 meters long and 2 meters wide is 3 X 2 = 6m2 in total.
- Q: How soon can I use the floor after the polishing?
- A: Polished concrete flooring can be walked on during the grind and polish process. There is no 'cure' time since it is a mechanical process. If a sealer is used, 4 hours is typically required before foot traffic can be resumed.
- Q: Can I use polished concrete outdoors?
- A: A matte (up to 100 grit) or even low sheen (400 grit) can be used outdoors, but polished concrete with a high sheen is not recommended.
- Q: Is coloured concrete and/or coloured aggregates available?
- A: When laying a new slab, a wide range of coloured concretes and coloured aggregates are available for you to choose from.
