How Does Polished & Burnished Concrete
Differ From Other Surfaces?
A Gleaming High-Gloss Finish with Polished Concrete Floors
Polished and burnished concrete stands apart from other flooring options like exposed aggregate because it starts with a simple poured concrete slab without decorative additives. The magic lies in the post-treatment process that transforms a plain concrete surface into a sleek, polished masterpiece.
Once the concrete hardens, our skilled team begins an intensive grinding process, akin to exfoliating the surface. Using advanced electric grinding machines equipped with diamond-tipped grinding discs, we carefully refine the concrete in multiple stages.
The process begins with coarse-grit discs to remove imperfections, gradually progressing through six to eight steps to finer grits. By the end, the concrete evolves into a stunning high-gloss surface that’s not only durable but also visually striking—a perfect choice for polished concrete floors in Perth.
A Custom Satin Finish for Your Polished Concrete Floors
If you prefer a subtle satin finish over a high-gloss look, we can tailor the polishing process to suit your style. Whether you’re working with new concrete or refreshing an existing surface, our skilled technicians provide an economical way to transform your floors and enhance their appeal.
Burnished and polished concrete is not only stunning but also incredibly durable and eco-friendly. Our polishing process avoids the use of harsh chemicals or solvents, eliminating the need for wax or sealants. Plus, the process generates minimal waste, making it a sustainable choice for any setting.
Polished concrete floors retain their beauty and functionality over time, making them an ideal option for homes, offices, hospitals, and commercial or industrial spaces. Easy to maintain and resistant to wear, they require no refinishing—ensuring a long-lasting, cost-effective flooring solution that impresses year after year.
