Full Exposure Polished Concrete South Yarra
This week our team went to visit Melbourne’s lovely South Yarra to complete a Full Exposure Polished Concrete job. South Yarra is such a vibrant hub of cutting-edge fashion, so, naturally our customers thought that the ever-modern aesthetic of polished concrete flooring would be a fitting pair.
Even within the world of polished concrete, there are a number of varying styles and options to choose from, each with a different look. Our customers in South Yarra decided to select Full Exposure Polished Concrete.
Full Exposure Polished Concrete creates an absolutely wonderful finish that makes it one of the most stunning flooring solutions available. However, this style of polished concrete is complex and difficult to accomplish. A simple oversight during the process can ruin the consistency of the entire floor. That’s why it’s important to hire trusted professionals who specialise in this area to do the job.
Fortunately, this was no problem for us! We’ve created countless perfect Full Exposure Polished Concrete floors, and have the formula to success down-pat.
Full Exposure Polished Concrete is achieved by making a high-quality concrete slab with a consistent and well-filled aggregate (pebbles). If you have an existing slab, and it’s of high-enough quality, it will also work!
The quality of the slab is the most crucial aspect. An amateur concreter may miss blemishes such as screed bar marks or footprints or make an inconsistent aggregate. These mistakes can have a devastating impact on the overall excellence of the flooring. While it may be time-consuming, we always double-check every aspect of the slab to ensure it meets our extremely high standards.
Once this slab is in place, we grind it down approximately 3mm-5mm so that the aggregate can be clearly seen, and each pebble will appear rather prominently. After the grinding is completed, we polish the flooring a number of times to achieve the desired level of shine and gloss.
While a difficult and lengthy task, the benefits of Full Exposure Polished Concrete are worthwhile! Full Exposure Polished Concrete is a brilliant and aesthetically-pleasing flooring solution that will last longer than other popular choices. The dense aggregate makes for a more interesting and detailed floor that will create a feeling of ‘fullness’ to the room, without being too dominating.
Full Exposure Polished Concrete is also especially shiny. The pebbles mixed within the concrete are easier to shine than the actual concrete and will stay glossy
The satisfaction of our very friendly customers in South Yarra made our hard work worthwhile.
