We are a trusted name for premium mechanically polished concrete Adelaide residents and businesses rely upon. The Mechanically polished process involves grinding the concrete to clean the surface of any contaminants, flatten the floor, and expose the level of aggregate you, the client, want. The floor is now ready for the grouting/hardening stage which will fill in any cracks or holes that may be in the concrete, this will ensure the floor is perfectly prepared for the polishing stage.
Exposure levels range from either a full exposure where stones in the concrete are highly visible, to Random Exposure, salt and pepper or burnished where no stones will be shown although some stone exposure choices may vary depending on your concrete.
The surface is finished with a Mechanical Polish (selection of either Matte, satin or gloss) finish. This is a Mechanically Polished surface, which is NOT a coated surface finish. This finish is exceptionally hard and environmentally friendly. The mechanical polish itself is permanent. The guard on top is sacrificial — it wears and gets re-applied as part of maintenance.
More than being a form of sustainable design flooring as it utilises material that’s been placed, MPC has clear-cut advantages. Without getting too technical about it, here are the benefits of MPC:
Increase The Durability of Old FloorsYou can increase the impact and abrasion resistance of old floors by mechanically grinding them to remove the top surface and polishing them to increase their strength.
Close Up the SurfaceGrinding and polishing closes the surface so it absorbs less water and oil. It resists a lot, but nothing we put on a floor is stain-proof — spills still want wiping up, and the maintenance sheet says so in writing.
Be More Friendly to The EnvironmentMaintain a healthy relationship with the environment by eliminating the use of hazardous chemicals used for maintenance and cleaning.
Save Money in The Long RunYou will save more money with polished concrete because it’s not as prone to damage, does not need replacing, and does not need a lot of maintenance.
