has any body had there concrete floor re ground and polished to a high shine ,if so who can you recommend for?

Question

looking to re grind and polish concrete floors in my house in kerry

Answer 1

I have used a high lime content/ sacrete mixture as a top coating, This makes it very very hard and semi glossy, Then added a good sealer and It came out really well and after polishing it? it was almost but not quite as bright as marble... I would consult a good local building supply company for specific details and method in your particular case...Cheers~

Answer 2

Hi
If you want a high polish you would need to use a topping coat of some nature.
When concrete is poured it has to be worked to obtain a hi finish or power float finish.
Depending on the age of your floor it would probably be quite a loose mix if old and would therefore need some thing to smooth it over with possibly using a product by Fosroc may help. can be pricey though.

My uncle is a builder and he says you cannot polish a concrete floor as you can with Terazzo - which an italian thing. but definately not concrete

Answer 4

as someone else said, trezza floors are polished, not concrete. well concrete floors can be, but it isnt very pretty., i live in co.antrim and dont know anyone who does this type of work. probably in england you could get someone. or try your local hire centre for a polisher which takes the emery stone type discs and try it yourself. if you try it yourself keep it very wet to stop dust rising.
