Montmorency Concrete Polishing
All over Australia, a new flooring trend is spreading like wildfire, it is durable, easy to clean, maintain and is highly customizable. A recent Montmorency concrete polishing project is an example of a flooring option that is quickly becoming a leading trend around the world.
Concrete polishing is an Eco-friendly flooring solution that can be used in any residential or commercial space. Because polishing the concrete makes use of the materials that are already present it is considered a sustainable design option. Polishing allows for the slab to be transformed with a low or high mirror like sheen, and the smooth surface not only looks great, but the sleek, flat surface can reflect light, increasing ambient lighting. An added benefit of having a sleek flat surface is that it’s easier to clean. The smooth, uninterrupted surface ensures that there are no cracks or holes for dirt and grime to accumulate.
Throughout the whole construction process there are chances to use recyclable materials, crushed glass, recycled plastics, marble chips and metal shavings are all able to be used in the design process. The naturally high thermal mass of concrete also allows polished concrete floors to absorb heat during the day, then slowly release it at night, reducing the need for artificial alternatives and potentially helping reducing energy bills in the process. Concrete polishing is not only great for the home or business, but it’s also good for the environment.
On this Montmorency Concrete polishing project the process helped to increase the already high durability of the concrete, under normal circumstances the floor is unlikely to chip, stain, scratch or otherwise be marked. Polishing can be done to new or existing floors, and can often repair an already damaged concrete slab. There are several different options, including full exposure, which exposes the maximum amount of aggregate underneath, partial which as the name suggests reveals parts of it or no exposure, which shows nothing.
Concrete polishing allows everyone to customise their floor to suit their personal style and tastes. Concrete polishing has a nearly unlimited options for colours, textures, and finishes. There are also opportunities to add custom engravings, saw cuts, and graphics to create a one of a kind floor as was the case with this Montmorency Concrete polishing project. Polished concrete floors are a durable and highly customizable decorative flooring that provides the maximum amount of benefits for concrete.
