New concrete slab Polishing

New floors require less work resulting in lower costs, but there are a few things to be aware of before a new concrete floor can be polished. Firstly, the mix design of the concrete should be 32mpa minimum for a quality floor. A megapascal (MPa) is a measure of the compressive strength of concrete. It indicates how much pressure can be applied to the concrete before it cracks or fails. The concrete should always be poured full depth to take advantage of the concrete’s full structural strength and also helps to prevent cracks. The concrete should always be professionally finished with power trowels and properly cured with water for seven days. Polishing should not begin until the concrete is fully cured (generally 3-4 weeks). The concrete slab can contain decorative aggregates to create many different aesthetic appearances. The aggregates are mostly sized 20mm, but almost anything can be used. The finished surface of the concrete will need to be finished to a high standard to facilitate the polishing process. During the finishing phase, any decorative aggregates such as seashells, glass chips or even metal car parts can be dropped into the surface of the concrete. Builders must be aware as early as possible if the concrete is to be polished so that the final finish is of the best quality.
