Installing a reliable polished concrete floor follows three steps: the concrete is installed, then ground and sealed, then polished. New concrete generally needs to cure for 28 days before polishing, and the polishing can be finished in one visit or in two stages. Like many floors, mechanically polished concrete can become slick when wet, so discuss finish options first if slip resistance matters.
Installing
Once the surveyor or framer has done designing your home, the installer should come in. They will handle your concrete installation. You might wish to dig the service hook-ups while you already have the installer on site. You’ll need to talk it over with your plumber and electrician.
Rough And Sealed
Like many other flooring options, mechanically polished concrete can become slick when wet. If slip resistance matters for your space, discuss finish and coating options with your installer before work begins.
Polishing Concrete
It will be important to use a concrete polisher to achieve the ideal foundation finish. If your footings are being poured initially, the concrete truck will need to come twice. When pouring footings once and again when constructing your foundation. If the foundation is built, concrete for the footings and your foundation can be placed in place simultaneously.
