Concrete is Good for so Much More than Floors

Did you know…..?

Concrete is a very popular material for high-end counter-tops, sinks, fireplaces as well as floors

The fact that concrete can withstand water with ease has made it a popular choice for garden décor and outdoor furniture. But concrete can be used to beautify the inside of the home, too. Concrete’s incredible versatility and durability makes it the perfect building material for custom countertops, sinks, and fireplaces.

And concrete floors can be a surprisingly economical way to give any indoor living space a sleek, contemporary look that’s low-maintenance and that will take a lifetime of wear and tear.

and it looks GREAT.!

FYI….. Concrete and cement are not the same.

Concrete is a mixture of 60 – 65% aggregates like sand, gravel, and crushed stone, 15 – 20% water, and only 10 – 15% cement. When mixed, the cement and water harden, binding the aggregates into the solid mass we call concrete. So, there is no such thing as a cement sidewalk!

Polished concrete is considered a good sustainable design flooring option because it makes use of the materials already present. Most modern buildings are built on a concrete slab; polishing the exposed concrete eliminates the energy and additional material costs consumed by applying a floor covering. It is something to consider when building or modernizing towards a more green solution.

Cast and Finished Concrete

On this recent project we used Lafarge Artevia™ White Cement.

Cast and finished by 180 Degrees Concrete Floor Services (Pty) Ltd.
Floor Grinding Services completed the grinding and polishing work to perfection.

A seen on the photos, we still need to seal and buff the floor, but almost no need for it as at that point it was looking great already!!

Beautifully Polished Concrete Floor

Take your concrete floor to the next level!

Polished concrete has become the ultimate flooring material for big box retailers, warehouses, convention halls and production facilities around the world. Thanks to us, concrete floors can now be polished fast and cost-effectively.

Beauty and Gloss
The process gives concrete a high degree of shine, similar to polished marble. The end result may be called “micro terazzo” surface, as fine aggregates become partly visible. Mirror glossy floor reflects light, and doesn’t require any wax or coating.

Dust-free and easy to clean
After our polishing process the surfaces are 100% dust-free, as dirt and grime can no longer collect on the concrete. Polishing reduces the need to clean and makes maintenance easier and faster.

Abrasion resistant
The process increases concrete’s abrasion resistance, so that the floor can hold better heavy forklift and foot traffic. Polished concrete can’t peel, chip or flake like epoxy coatings or painted floors. Polished concrete has a longer lifespan than materials such as vinyl composite tile (VCT) or upgraded stone tiles; it only needs to be refinished once every five to ten years.

Save time and money
Construction schedules are usually very tight, often not leaving enough time for traditional grinding and polishing. Our team can produce over 10,000 sq ft of polished concrete in one working day.

Eco-friendly
There is no need for strong chemicals in our process or later in maintenance. Our polished concrete flooring qualifies for LEED credits.
