Concrete polishing has risen its reputation in several years now not just in the Sydney flooring, but even nationwide.
Sadly hardly any training has been given by the industry to teach home owners, builders, business, architects or interior designers regarding the time and skill is involved in grinding and polishing.
They'll be capable to polish appropriately if they be educated regarding the set up processes, style parameters and needs for polished concrete floors, architectural specifications, construction programming as well as scheduling of works, and the do's and don'ts when pouring concrete.
Whether the client requirements freshly poured or existing concrete floors, only the perfect outcome will be given to the client whenever certain procedures are done. All concrete differs, old or new, which results in the concrete working differently during the grind and concrete polishingprocess. Grinding process and the diamond tooling need to be adapted to the concrete slab. Here are the things which have to be considered when pouring concrete.
Concrete Differences: ? Hardness MPA ? Vibration ? Visual damage or perhaps scaring - Foot prints, trowel and screed bar marks ? Aggregate / stone ? Batching plant ? Finishing process ? Curing process
The finish of a true polished concrete floor can be influenced with the above points. If these types of points are managed properly, the finished polished concrete floor will certainly be as close to the client's expectations.
At design or architectural stage, a finished concrete floors appearance could be tailored to the client's needs.
Custom polished concrete floors: ? Concrete slab colour, via cement color or perhaps colored liquid or powder based pigments ? Stone aggregate color, size and mix ratio ? Concrete solidity - 32 or 40 MPA ? Flatness tolerances - Class A slab required ? Appearance - Stone aggregate exposure, no pepper, stone & salt ? Program grinding works along with builder, making certain sleek set up ? Gloss or perhaps Matt finish ? Stain protection ? Upkeep and cleaning processes ? Warranty periods 10 - 25 years (conditionals apply)
Wet areas or bathroom concrete polishing:
There's a typical error whenever dealing with concrete polishing in wet areas or bathrooms.
The usual consideration taken in putting in polished concrete floors in wet areas or bathrooms is slip resistance.
Yet another thing to consider will be the waterproofing where in internal areas are supposed to be waterproofed to prevent the water moving in the concrete slab as well as wall floor junction.
Bathroom and laundry floors can have polished concrete put in, in new building projects; however improvements are required whenever engineering your concrete slab. To be able to lay a 100mm concrete topping slab, a 100mm placed down is needed in the concrete slab.
A suitable waterproofing membrane is applied after the concrete slab is put and cured; a 100mm concrete topping slab is put over the top to permit it to cure. Concrete polishing can begin once cured; usually the concrete could be finished to 400 - 800# grit finish.
Slip resistance should always be kept in mind, and the precautions; when installing hard floor finishes, at all times consult your designer or architect for slip resistance advice.
Polishing at Existing Concrete Floor Finishes
Even when there are carpet, tiles, floating timber floors, painted epoxy or polyurethane floor coatings on your pre-existing concrete based floor, polishing concrete is still achievable.
Pre-existing hard floor finishes are taken off as well as the concrete surface evaluated and the right polished concrete solution chosen.
The concrete is then set for polishing concrete. All cemented leveling or topping screed, along with tile adhesive and carpet glues, are then eliminated. To avoid any kind of damage on the concrete surface, the removal of the carpet smooth edges should be done very carefully. Holes and damaged and cracked concrete could be fixed using a cementitious patching material just like (Conpell R70); thus these materials won't colour match the nearby concrete and live cracks will become apparent again right after the motion takes place.
