If we are talking 'flavour the month' in architectural flooring, polished concrete would have to be 'it'. Already popular in commercial buildings, concrete flooring is now becoming popular in the residential sector. Polished concrete floors are relatively easy to install, hardwearing, easy to maintain, cost effective, sleek-looking and will last a lifetime. These floors look great in all areas of the home, not just bathrooms and kitchens and can be used as an alternative to traditional benchtop materials.

Polished concrete floor installation is categorised into two types: New concrete floors and retrofit concrete floors (a.k.a.concrete resurfacing).
