Polished Concrete Styles & Finishes We Offer

Concrete In Cornwall offers a range of polished concrete styles and finishes, allowing you to customise the look and feel for your specific project and aesthetic preferences.
Aggregate Exposure Levels: Choose the amount of the concrete's internal aggregate (stones) revealed during grinding:
  • Cream/Nil Exposure: Minimal grinding, polishing the top cement paste layer for a smooth, uniform look.
  • Salt & Pepper Exposure: Light grinding reveals fine aggregate tips for subtle texture and detail. Very popular in modern homes.
  • Medium Exposure: Grinding reveals more medium-sized aggregates for a bolder terrazzo-like effect.
  • Full Exposure: Deep grinding exposes the largest aggregates, creating a striking, robust appearance often seen in commercial settings.

Sheen Levels: Determine the final level of reflectivity:
  • Matte Finish: A low-sheen, natural look that minimises reflections.
  • Satin Finish: A popular mid-sheen option offering a subtle lustre, balancing aesthetics and practicality.
  • Gloss/High-Gloss Finish: A mirror-like, highly reflective finish that maximises light and creates a dramatic impact, often chosen for retail or gallery spaces in Cornwall.

Polished Concrete: Ideal for the Cornish Lifestyle & Environment

Cornwall's unique lifestyle and environment make polished concrete an exceptionally practical and stylish flooring choice. Beyond its modern aesthetic, it addresses specific challenges faced by many properties. The durability of polished concrete easily handles the wear and tear of coastal living – sand tracked in from beaches, damp conditions, and busy family/holiday let usage. Unlike tiled floors, there are no grout lines to trap dirt or encourage mould growth in Cornwall's sometimes humid climate. Its high thermal mass makes it an ideal partner for underfloor heating systems, promoting energy efficiency. Its also light-reflective qualities enhance natural light, brightening interiors – a welcome benefit in many traditional cottages or contemporary coastal homes aiming for an airy feel. Concrete In Cornwall understands these local factors, recommending appropriate seals and finishes to maximise longevity and performance in the environment.

Faq's

Can existing concrete floors be polished?
Often, yes. We assess the condition and hardness of your existing concrete slab to determine suitability. Repairs may be needed first. New slabs should be poured to specific standards for best results.

How long does the polishing process take?
This depends on the area size, required exposure/sheen level, and condition of the concrete. A typical residential project might take a few days. We provide a timeline estimate with our quote.

Is polished concrete slippery?
When kept clean and dry, polished concrete meets standards for slip resistance, often comparable to or better than natural stone or vinyl. Specific anti-slip treatments can be applied if required for certain environments.

What maintenance is required?
Polished concrete is very low maintenance. Regular sweeping/dust mopping and occasional damp mopping with a pH-neutral cleaner are usually sufficient. We provide specific care guidelines for your new floor.

How durable is polished concrete?
It's extremely durable and resistant to scratches, stains (when properly sealed), and heavy foot traffic, making it ideal for long-term use in homes and businesses.

What is the cost compared to other flooring?
Initial cost can be comparable to high-end tile or hardwood, but its longevity and low maintenance offer excellent long-term value for properties. Pricing depends on size, complexity, and desired finish.
​
What areas in Cornwall do you install polished concrete?
Our installation teams cover the entire Cornwall region, bringing premium polished concrete finishes to homes and businesses from Penzance to Bude.

Invest in Longevity: The Enduring Appeal of Polished Concrete Floors in Cornwall

Choosing flooring for a property is a significant decision. You need something that looks great, withstands the demands of local life, and offers lasting value. Polished concrete excels on all fronts.

Unmatched Durability & Lifespan:
Forget replacing worn carpets, scratched wood, or cracked tiles every few years. Polished concrete offers exceptional resistance to abrasion, impact, and heavy foot traffic. Properly installed, your floor can last decades, making it a truly sustainable and cost-effective choice for the long term.

Effortless Maintenance for Busy Cornish Lives:
Life in Cornwall is often about enjoying the outdoors, not endless floor cleaning. Polished concrete's seamless, hardened surface resists spills and stains (when sealed) and is incredibly easy to clean – usually just a quick sweep and occasional damp mop is all that's needed. No grout lines mean no scrubbing mould or mildew.

Healthy & Allergen-Free Environment:
Unlike carpets that trap dust, mites, and allergens, polished concrete provides a smooth, inert surface that doesn't harbour these irritants. It promotes better indoor air quality, a significant benefit for families and businesses concerned with health and hygiene.

A Sound Investment:
Investing in a polished concrete floor adds tangible value and timeless style to your property, combining robust practicality with sophisticated design appeal.
