Concrete is an incredibly versatile flooring material with a massive list of benefits, design options and natural strengths. Concrete can naturally deflect attempts to damage it, is water resistant and its naturally smooth surface is easy to clean. We recently completed an Officer Random Exposure Concrete polishing project to retain all the benefits of concrete and also gain several new ones. One of the most popular design options at the moment is to polish it and expose the aggregate underneath.
There are several options when exposing the underlying aggregate, full exposure, where roughly 5mm is ground off the top and reveals as much of the underlying pebbles as possible. Salt n pepper finish, or min exposure, which has only 1-2mm taken off the top and shows the least amount of the underlying aggregate. No exposure, which as the name suggests, doesn’t involve exposing any of the underlying aggregates. And finally random exposure, also known as the industrial look, which grinds 2-3mm off the floor. Random exposure can only be described as varied; there are sections of full exposure, min exposure and no exposure. Random exposure adds character to a floor, with the motley, unique appearance found to be very appealing to a lot of people.
With this Officer random exposure concrete project we completed, you can see that it can be customised with a myriad of textures, colours, and finishes. Along with custom engravings, saw cuts, custom graphics, patterns, borders, custom stencils, pebbles, shards of glass or glitter, Officer random exposure concrete floors have more options than ever to create a unique area that will make any dwelling stand out.
In the suburb of Officer random exposure concrete floors are especially popular with homeowners and businesses who are interested in upgrading their new concrete slabs and exposing the nice earthy look underneath. The multi-step process starts with several basic steps. First, the concrete is ground down using specialised tools and machines with coarse diamond pads. Then hardeners and other protective treatments are added to increase the concretes already impressive durability, ensuring that the floor can endure for years to come.
Random exposure concrete floors are durable, versatile and add a massive list of benefits, design options and natural strengths to concrete, allowing homeowners and businesses to design their flooring space to suit personal styles and tastes.
