Polished concrete floors provide an affordable alternative to expensive floor treatments, with a wide range of colours and finished that are comparable in terms of appearance, to those of tiles, vinyl and cork. They are energy efficient and offer a low maintenance and dust free floor.
The concept of a polished finish dates back some 20 to 30 years and was originally used to describe the process whereby a typical grey or coloured concrete floor was coated with a wax product and then highly polished.The wax used was generally powdered beeswax. The surface was then polished by rubbing vigorously with a soft cloth, hence the term "polished concrete floors".

The term polished concrete describes a decorative floor finish which leaves the concrete exposed as the final finish. Polished exposed aggregate finishes are achieved by grinding the surface of the slab to expose the aggregate or stones within the concrete or topping mix. The first step involves grinding the concrete to reveal the aggregate within.
We have been more than impressed and happy with the job Dave did in polishing our concrete slab. He went beyond our expectations and completed the polishing as if it were his own home. Dave has shown that he is dedicated to his trade and cares about the quality of his work. He is meticulous for detail.

They can talk the talk, but they CANT walk the walk.
The execution of our polished floors was very disappointing to say the least.
They are not realiable in showing up on the agreed dates or at the right time.
When problems starting poping up, we were offered no professional guidance or solutions. Instead they wanted nothing to do with correcting issues.
The floors where left scratched after the second polishing path, left buffing marks and the polish isn't even.
To add to that, they were too hasty to allow the floors to set properly and as they stepped on the floor too early after applying
