POLISHED CONCRETE
FOR WORKING
ENVIRONMENTS

Commercial and industrial floors need to be considered around the way the space will be used, the condition of the concrete and the appearance required for the project.

Polished concrete can provide a clean, contemporary finish while making use of the character and aggregate within the concrete itself.

SKM Contracting Ltd can discuss the existing floor, intended use of the space and the finish you would like to achieve before determining the appropriate approach.

DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS

FLOORING FOR
THE WAY YOUR
SPACE IS USED

Commercial and industrial spaces can place very different demands on a floor. The intended use of the building, existing concrete and required appearance all need to be considered when discussing the right approach for the project.

01

COMMERCIAL PREMISES

Polished concrete can create a clean, contemporary appearance for commercial interiors where the floor forms an important part of the overall space.

02

INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENTS

For industrial spaces, the existing slab, floor area and intended use can be considered before determining the appropriate polishing approach.

03

RETAIL & SHOWROOMS

A polished concrete floor can complement contemporary retail and showroom interiors while allowing the natural character of the concrete to remain visible.

04

OFFICES & WORKSPACES

Concrete flooring can form part of a modern office or workspace design, with the level of aggregate exposure and final appearance considered around the interior.

PROJECT-SPECIFIC APPROACH

Every project is different. Floor condition, area, intended use and the required appearance should all be considered before deciding on the most suitable approach.

PLANNING THE FLOOR

EXISTING CONCRETE
OR A NEW FLOOR?

Whether you already have a concrete slab or are planning a new floor, considering the finished appearance early can help determine the right approach for the project.

01

EXISTING CONCRETE

An existing concrete floor can be assessed to understand its condition and whether it may be suitable for the polished finish you have in mind.

The character of an existing slab can vary, so the final appearance will be influenced by the concrete that is already in place.

✓ Condition of the existing slab
✓ Existing surface and previous treatments
✓ Required appearance and finish
02

NEW CONCRETE FLOORS

If a new concrete floor is being planned, discussing the intended polished finish at an early stage allows the flooring requirements to be considered as part of the wider project.

This is particularly useful where the appearance of the finished concrete is an important part of the design.

✓ Consider the finish during planning
✓ Discuss aggregate exposure requirements
✓ Coordinate with the wider project
NOT SURE WHAT YOU HAVE?

Send us details of the existing floor or your proposed commercial project and SKM Contracting Ltd can discuss the next steps with you.

FINISH OPTIONS

CHOOSE THE LOOK
OF YOUR FLOOR

The amount of aggregate revealed during the polishing process can significantly change the appearance of the finished concrete floor.

01

MINIMAL EXPOSURE

A more understated concrete appearance with limited aggregate visible within the surface.

02

SALT & PEPPER

A finer exposure revealing smaller areas of aggregate across the finished concrete surface.

03

FULL AGGREGATE

A more pronounced finish where larger aggregate becomes a strong visual feature of the floor.

MORE THAN ONE FINISH IS POSSIBLE

Aggregate exposure and the final sheen can be considered together to create the appearance required for the space.
