Residential Polished Concrete Floors
With our wealth of experience, we have a thorough understanding of the needs of our clients. We understand that every space has its distinctiveness and bring you concrete solutions to elevate the charm of any setting. The polished concrete that we bring you are similar to the regular concrete but have chemical densifiers added for a dense matrix. The surface is then polished so that the required smoothness and finish is achieved. The process involves honing the surface with diamond abrasives and every slab is unique.
