Polished Concrete Floor
With its sleek appearance, exceptional longevity, and effortless maintenance, polished concrete has become a popular choice for both residential and commercial spaces across Ireland.
We polish laid and dried concrete to your desired finish which can be matte or high gloss, using a multitude of polishing, honing, and grinding techniques to attain your desired finish.
Surface Preparation: we begin with a thorough cleaning and repair of the concrete surface. Any cracks, pits, or imperfections are addressed to ensure a flawless result.
Coarse Grinding: We then use a coarse diamond abrasive to remove the top layer of the concrete, exposing the aggregate beneath. This step sets the stage for subsequent grinding and polishing stages.
Fine Grinding: Successive passes with finer grit diamonds refine the surface, enhancing its smoothness and preparing it for polishing.
Polishing: Polishing compounds and finer grit diamonds are employed to achieve the desired finish of choice.
Polished Concrete
Ensuring the long-lasting allure of your polished concrete floors involves simple yet essential maintenance practices that are easily integrated into your home cleaning routine which will guarantee its durability for years to come.
Regular Cleaning: Remove dust and debris using a soft broom or vacuum with a soft brush attachment. Follow up with damp mopping using a pH-neutral cleaner.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Harsh cleaning agents can dull the shine of polished concrete. Opt for mild, pH-balanced cleaners to preserve the high polish finish.
Protective Measures: Place rugs or mats at entryways to prevent grit and dirt from scratching the surface. Felt pads should be affixed to furniture legs to prevent scratches and scuffs.
Periodic Buffing: Over time, foot traffic may cause a slight reduction in gloss. Get in touch with our team to organise a quick maintenance call with our high shine buffer.
Re-Sealing: Depending on the polished concretes wear and tear, resealing may be necessary to ensure the raw concrete does not ensure a high level of deterioration, which, over time, would result in costly repairs in years to come.
