A concrete polishing company in Melbourne like Haynes Polished Concrete can provide a quote over the phone to help you calculate the costs of grinding and then polishing your existing concrete floor. We have polishing equipment that is suitable for floor areas between 50 metre squared and 5,000 metre squared for residential homes in Melbourne.
This living room was about 60 square meters squared in size and cost around $7,500 to get done and took about 4 days to complete because we had to wait for the carpet to be fully removed, grind the old concrete slab, repair some of the cracks & then begin polishing the floor area.
The owner wanted to renovate their home and give it a modern look with a floor that matched the stone walls and timber walling. The house was built on a concrete slab but it had been covered with carpets in most areas of the house. They wanted a natural floor finish that would be durable, retain the heat & deal with the natural light coming in through the large windows around the room.
If your concrete slab is cracked can it sill be polished?
For this living room floor we made the repairs then did a grind on the surface to make it as smooth and flat as possible to get it ready for polishing. The home owner opted for a mechanical concrete polish with a full grind high gloss finish. This exposes the aggregate and the high gloss finish will bounce light around the room as well to make it feel brighter and larger than before.
