Frequently Asked Questions for Placemakers  arrow-down Created with Sketch.

Can I have any of the exposures on any concrete?

Not always. For new builds, yes. However the placing of the slab is absolutely critical as we are taking off such a small amount, any imperfections can be highlighted. We would like to be involved with your placer’s to help ensure a perfect finish. We recommend going for Urban or High Street for refurbs as a deeper grind will help ensure consistency in an older slab.

Why Polished Concrete over other flooring types?
  • Maintenance
  • Aesthetics
  • Longevity
At what stage should the polishing of the concrete happen?
  • Warehouse/Beach House - when building is framed out and weather tight and before walls are gibed and the skirting goes on.
  • Urban/High Street - 30 days after slab is poured, we grind and densify (Stage 1). When the site is framed out and weather tight, we complete the process (stage 2)
Can the floor new damaged while the construction continues?

Short answer, yes.  We offer a floor protection system which we can either supply or supply and install.

Existing Glues, Coatings and other floor toppings are easily removed using our PCD line of diamond tooling. Grinding dust is vacuumed up during the process and bagged ready for disposal.

Grind and Seal

The simplest form of aesthetic finishing of concrete. comprises usually of an aggressive removal of the top layer of concrete to expose the aggregate and then a coating is applied to protect the surface. The service life and maintenance on this method is not a long term solution.
