Concrete Polishing FAQs


Below you will find some of the most frequently asked questions we have had about concrete polishing over the years.

 

  • Turn around time

    A full mechanical polish on the average 200 m² house will typically take a week to complete.

  • Concrete Polishing & Grinding Cost

    • A full mechanical polish is generally in the range of $80-$110 per square metre.
    • A grind and seal is generally $50-$80 a square metre.
    • There are many variables so speak to me about your project before you commit to anything.
    • Variables include: Indoor or out, new builds are  ground before the walls are erected saving considerable time and money.
    • Area:  Large areas can be ground with greater efficiencies thus reducing the costs on a square metre basis.
    • Edge grinding, lots of walls and difficult to reach areas mean more time on small handheld machines thus increasing costs.
    • Access: The grinding equipment is large and heavy so if you’re on the third floor with no lift costs will increase.
  • What areas do you service?

    We are based in Castlemaine but service the entire country including Melbourne, Bendigo, Ballarat.

  • What if I have old concrete floors?

    I have made it to specialty to save heavily damaged old floors.

    • Broken and cracked floors can be recovered (take a close-up photo of the damage and send it to me).
    • Old home mixed concrete with little cement content (loose dusty surface) can even be saved and made to look beautiful.
    • Carpet glue, remains of underlay, coatings (paint, a epoxy, polyurethane) and tile adhesives can all be removed with the grinding process.
    • Uneven floors- if the floor has cracked and dropped away from the original level it is often possible to rectify with a high strength pourable grout which is allowed to harden and then ground with the rest of the floor.
    • Steps, shelves, fire hard can all be polished.
    • Dust-Yes there is dust, it is controlled with industrial vacuums connected to the grinder itself.

     

  • Gloss Level

    Mechanically polished concrete can be finished to any desired level from a satin finish to a full gloss.

    • Grind and seal
    • A Topical sealer is available in either a matt finish or a full gloss.
  • How reliable is polished concrete for slip resistance?
    Both mechanically polished concrete and coated floors retain a level of slip resistance which makes them safe when wet.
  • What about outdoor concrete?

    Generally A floor that is fully exposed to the weather will require a coating such as a polyurethane.
