Commercial Polished Concrete – Merseyside

Concrete Polishing was approached by a client that was wanting to restore their premises in Liverpool, Merseyside. The client was turning the premises into a restaurant. They had looked at many types of floor covering. However, polished concrete was definitely their first choice for the premises in Merseyside.

Contractors had to meet objectives due to this being a restaurant and constant foot flow. These included, slip resistance, stain resistance and easily maintained. And, of course, aesthetically pleasing. Our client felt that a polished concrete floor would meet all of these objectives.

A different contractor had laid the concrete to a good standard. The clients chosen type of finish was the Exposed Aggregate Finish. The type of finish that the client wanted was achieved by firstly carrying out a heavy grind. This, therefore, exposes the aggregate. Post this process, the contractors begin the mechanical diamond polishing process. Contractors then added the concrete sealer to the surface after the polishing process was complete. The sealer is a big factor in making sure that the client’s main objectives are met. These being slip resistance and stain resistance.

The commercial polished concrete floor in Merseyside was created using the Husqvarna HIPERFLOOR® system and tooling.

Undoubtedly, the aesthetics were stunning! Furthermore, we were able to hand over to our client a fully functional floor. Concrete Polishing met all criteria to an exceptionally high standard. All completed on time and within the clients budget.

Well done team on the amazing results on this commercial polished concrete floor in Liverpool, Merseyside.

Polished Concrete – Worcestershire

Our client was in the first stages of completing their floor. At their home in, Worcestershire. They, however, decided they wanted polished concrete throughout the whole of the ground floor.

The central part of the extension was to be open plan. Therefore, the client wanted to extend polished concrete throughout to include the stairs also. The clients chosen type of finish was the Exposed Aggregate Finish. Therefore, natural aggregate is exposed.

The extension was, however, to be a holiday home. Therefore, the client’s flooring needed to include little maintenance, stain-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing, yet, due to the contractors carrying out polished concrete on the stairs. The concrete would, therefore, need to be slip-resistant. The concrete supplied, laid and finished by us. Once the contractors had placed the floor, mechanically diamond polishing it could then take place. To achieve exposed aggregate finish contractors performed an initial heavy grind. It was the grinding that exposed the aggregate. After, the grinding contractors carried out the stages to mechanically polish the floor. The contractors then added a concrete sealer. This aids with slip resistance and stain resistance. To achieve this finish, contractors, therefore, carried out the same process, except the work was carried out using hand tooling on the stairs.    

The whole process for this polished concrete floor in Worcestershire was done by contractors using the Husqvarna HIPERFLOOR® system and tooling. 

Upon completion of the project, the results were stunning! All the client’s requirements met. And therefore however all completed with the budget. This project, as a result, exceeded the customer’s expectations. A unique project!

Polished Concrete – Staffordshire

We were approached by a client that was in the process of extending their existing premises. The extension was to be a Cookery School. The clients wanted polished concrete as their choice of flooring for the commercial premises in Staffordshire.

Due to the project being a commercial kitchen environment, the main objectives were, slip resistance, stain resistance, aesthetically pleasing and of course cost-effective.

After discussing the project in-depth, and the client weighing up other flooring options. The client undoubtedly decided that a commercial polished concrete floor was best suited to their project.

Concrete Polishing supplied, laid and finished the concrete. The chosen type of finish was a Rustic Style Finish. Silver Grey in colour.  Contractors laid and finished the floor to a power trowelled standard. This is a crucial part when needing to achieve a rustic style finish, due to minimal grinding taking place when mechanically diamond polishing the floor.

The commercial polished concrete floor, Staffordshire was achieved using the Husqvarna HIPERFLOOR® system. A series of lighter grinding stages took place. This therefore highlighting the natural power trowel pattern, this needs to be evident in the desired type of finish. Contractors applied concrete sealer to the floor. This is a crucial factor to help with slip resistance and stain resistance, two main objectives of the clients.

The client’s other objectives were aesthetics and cost. As you can see the results speak for themselves, the overall standard and finish were exceptional! All completed on time and well within the clients budget.

Polished Concrete – Wrexham, Wales

Our client had acquired a barn conversion. And was potentially thinking of choosing the flooring option of Polished Concrete at their project in Wrexham, Wales.

They were looking for a flooring option that was in keeping with the character of the barn.  As well as keeping it modern and stylish. They, therefore, opted for a mechanically ground polished concrete option with a Rustic Style Finish. The main part of the conversion was to be open plan.  With the property being all on one level they were looking at polished concrete extending throughout.

A contractor installed the underfloor heating, the slab was placed and finished to a power trowelled standard. Due to the client wanting a Rustic Style finish a deep grind was not necessary. Contractors, therefore, carried out lighter grinding on the area. This, therefore, magnifies the movements of the power trowelling, which in turn gives you the rustic yet modern characteristics of this type of finish. Due to the polished concrete being throughout the property it was vital that the floor was resistant to stains as well as slip. After mechanically grinding and polishing the floor, the contractor applied a concrete sealer, this aided with the clients main objective of slip and stain resistance.

The entire process for this polished concrete floor was carried out using the Husqvarna HIPERFLOOR® System.

As you can see this polished concrete floor Wrexham, Wales looks truly exceptional. We believe a modern touch has been added, yet the character is still very much present. This has no doubt been one of our favourite residential projects to date.

Commercial Polished Concrete 

Why “real” Polished Concrete is the way forward for your flooring option.  

Is “real” polished concrete flooring the way forward for commercial flooring? We say yes, and this is why.

It has always been so that in commercial flooring spaces such as retail, restaurants, cafés and office spaces, overlays and micro cement have always been the preferred choice. Both coatings when applied to an existing surface including tiles or wood. It imitates actual concrete.

As time has progressed it appears Architects and Designers are becoming more familiar with the concept of “real” polished concrete. Than opposed to overlays and micro cement. They are ever increasingly looking st cost-effective and “green” flooring options. These therefore, are just 2 of the reasons why a commercial polished concrete floor is the way forward when choosing your commercial flooring.

Overlays and Micro Cement

We will always find many commercial premises where an overlay or micro cement is more suited. Where access is minimal for example. This type of concrete finish will always hold its own within the flooring industry. However, it is soon becoming apparent that “real” polished concrete will be here for the duration of time.

When considering the durability of a concrete floor, it is a commercial polished concrete floor that contractors will have refined using a mechanical diamond process that will undoubtedly stand the test of time.

Using, Husqvarna HIPERFLOOR® it can be guaranteed that the functionality of the floor and aesthetics are not compromised over long periods of time. The contractor cannot guarantee functionality with other flooring options.

Many larger outfits are now looking to polished concrete for a commercial flooring option. These include car showrooms, office space, restaurants and cafes. They are finding that polished concrete is economically the wisest choice, is resistant to wear and spillages. Environmentally friendly. And therefore easily maintained at a low cost, just to name a few benefits. All important contributing factors when deciding on a flooring option.

If you are looking for a flooring option that offers:

• Durability
• Resistant to wear and tear
• Environmentally Friendly
• Cost-effective
• Aesthetically pleasing

Then a “real” polished concrete floor is undoubtedly the best commercial flooring option!
