Is Exposed Polished Aggregate the Right Choice?
Polished concrete offers more than just good looks — it’s a practical choice with long-term advantages for both homes and businesses.
Low Maintenance
Forget constant cleaning or expensive treatments. Polished concrete only needs a quick sweep and an occasional mop to keep it looking fresh.
Durable and Long-Lasting
Built to handle heavy foot traffic, vehicles, and daily wear, polished concrete holds up where other floors wear out. No peeling, flaking or lifting.
Stylish Finish Options
From subtle matte to striking high gloss, and everything in between — choose a look that suits your space. You can even customise the level of stone exposure.
Cost-Effective Over Time
While the upfront cost can be similar to other premium surfaces, polished concrete lasts longer and costs less to maintain, saving money in the long run.
Eco-Friendly Choice
Polished concrete makes use of the existing slab, reducing waste and the need for additional materials. It’s a sustainable flooring option with a modern edge.
Allergy-Friendly Surface
With no grout lines, fibres or coatings to trap dust and allergens, polished concrete is ideal for allergy-prone households or clean environments.
| Advantages of Polished Concrete Floors | Disadvantages of Polished Concrete Floors |

| Resistant to allergens — no fibres, grout lines or coatings to trap dust | |
| Durable — handles heavy foot traffic and wear | Slippery when wet and not ideal for bathrooms or wet areas |
| Moisture resistant — non-porous surface reduces water damage risk | |
| Easy care — no sealing or waxing required, just a mop and pH-neutral cleaner | Costly to repair if damaged |

What Are Polished Concrete Floors?
Polished concrete floors are a sleek, durable flooring solution that transforms a standard concrete slab into a smooth, high-end finish. Using a mechanical grinding and polishing process, the surface is refined to create a modern look that’s as tough as it is stylish.
Whether you prefer a matte, satin or glossy finish, polished concrete delivers a seamless result that’s built to last. It’s ideal for homes, garages, offices, showrooms and commercial spaces — anywhere you want a clean, low-maintenance floor that looks the part.
You can also choose how much of the natural stone and aggregate you’d like exposed, giving you full control over the final appearance. The result? A versatile surface that works just as well in a minimalist home as it does in a busy retail store.
Easy to clean, resistant to stains, and hard-wearing enough for high-traffic areas, polished concrete is a smart flooring choice for both form and function.
Not Suitable for All Floors
While the finish of polished aggregate is both beautiful and durable, there are a few areas where this finish is not a good option for a decorative concrete floor. These include:
- Bathroom and wet areas – In bathrooms and around pools or spas, the refined polishing creates a slippery finish (which could lead to falls)
- High traffic areas – While the surface of polished aggregate is durable, it is more susceptible to visible scratching and signs of wear than honed aggregate
- Pet areas – Constant scratching of the polished aggregate surface by your pet’s toenails may eventually become visible. Additionally, the increased slipperiness of the finish could cause injury to your pet if its paws are wet
FAQs
Yes, polished concrete is a popular choice for new builds. It offers a modern, seamless look and is highly durable, making it perfect for open-plan living areas, kitchens and even garages.
Polished concrete works well in most rooms, but it may not be the best choice for bathrooms or wet areas, as it can become slippery when wet. That said, there are slip-resistant finishes available if you’d like a consistent look throughout.
Absolutely. Polished concrete retains and radiates heat well, making it an ideal surface to pair with underfloor heating systems.
All concrete has the potential to crack, but these are usually minor and cosmetic. Proper installation, curing, and the use of control joints can minimise visible cracking.
You can customise the finish to suit your style — from a natural matte look to a high-gloss shine. You can also choose how much aggregate (stone) to expose for a more decorative effect.
Yes, in many cases existing concrete can be polished, provided it’s in good condition. Our team can assess your slab and recommend the best approach. Check out our polished overlay option.
Polished concrete is very low maintenance. For day-to-day cleaning, a soft broom or dry mop will do the job. For deeper cleans, just use a damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner — no need for harsh chemicals or waxes.
In most cases, no. Properly polished concrete doesn’t require regular sealing like other surfaces. However, high-traffic areas may benefit from occasional re-polishing or a surface treatment every few years to maintain the shine.
