CONCRETE FLOORING FOR THE HOME
DESIGNED FOR
MODERN LIVING
Polished concrete can turn the floor itself into an important part of the interior design, creating a clean and contemporary foundation for the rest of the room.
It can work particularly well across open-plan spaces where the same flooring continues through kitchens, dining areas and living spaces, helping to create a consistent appearance throughout the room.
The final character of the floor will depend on the concrete, the aggregate revealed during polishing and the chosen finishing specification.

YOUR FLOOR. YOUR FINISH.
MAKE IT
YOUR OWN
One of the defining features of polished concrete is the variation within the material itself. The level of aggregate exposure can dramatically change the appearance of the finished floor, allowing you to choose a look that works with the style of your home.
01
MINIMAL EXPOSURE
A restrained concrete appearance with little aggregate deliberately revealed. Ideal when you want the floor to retain a simple, understated character.
02
SALT & PEPPER
A lighter aggregate exposure that introduces subtle detail and variation while maintaining a contemporary concrete appearance.
03
FULL AGGREGATE
A more pronounced finish where greater aggregate exposure creates a highly distinctive floor and a stronger visual feature within the room.
A NATURALLY INDIVIDUAL FINISH
Concrete is a variable material, so colour, aggregate and final appearance will differ from floor to floor. Images are illustrative and the final finish will depend on the concrete and project specification.
PLANNING AHEAD
BUILDING AN
EXTENSION OR
RENOVATING?
If polished concrete is part of your plans for an extension, renovation or new-build project, it is worth considering the finished floor at an early stage.
The concrete itself becomes part of the visible finished surface, so the slab, the aggregate within it and the level of exposure can all influence how the completed floor will look.
Talking to SKM about the intended appearance before the flooring stage gives us an opportunity to understand your plans and discuss the finish you are looking to achieve.
THINK ABOUT THE FINISH EARLY
If polished concrete is part of your design, don't leave the flooring conversation until the rest of the project is almost complete.
BEFORE WORK BEGINS
THINGS TO CONSIDER
01
THE SPACE
Kitchen, extension, open-plan living area or another part of the home.
02
FLOOR AREA
Approximate dimensions help us understand the scale of the project.
03
YOUR PREFERRED LOOK
Consider whether you prefer subtle concrete or more visible aggregate.
04
PROJECT STAGE
Tell us whether you are planning, building or already have a concrete floor in place.
WORKING WITH WHAT YOU HAVE
ALREADY HAVE A
CONCRETE FLOOR?
If your property already has a concrete floor, the first step is to understand what is there. Existing slabs can vary considerably, so the floor needs to be considered before deciding on the appropriate approach and potential finished appearance.
EVERY EXISTING FLOOR IS DIFFERENT
The age, condition and construction of an existing concrete floor can all influence what may be achievable.
Previous coverings, surface condition, repairs and the concrete itself may also affect the character of the finished floor.
Rather than assuming a particular finish is possible, send us some information about your floor and we can start by discussing the project with you.
REMEMBER
Polished concrete celebrates the character of the material. Natural variation forms part of the appearance rather than every floor looking exactly the same.
