Cream or surface finish
Retains more of the original slab surface. It generally relies on suitable placement, finish and flatness because deeper grinding is not used to change every variation.
Polished concrete Brisbane
Polished concrete mechanically refines a suitable slab through staged grinding and polishing. The existing concrete influences aggregate distribution, colour, cracks, repairs, edges and variation, so exposure and sheen should be discussed before work begins.
Wirth Floor provides polished concrete for Brisbane and South East Queensland homes and commercial interiors, subject to slab suitability, access and project scope.
Call to discuss the slab, suburb, approximate area, finish direction and timing.
Finish brief
Retains more of the original slab surface. It generally relies on suitable placement, finish and flatness because deeper grinding is not used to change every variation.
Reveals a salt-and-pepper or partly exposed aggregate pattern. Distribution can vary with the original placement and grinding depth.
Deeper grinding reveals more aggregate and can also reveal repairs, holes, edges and differences across the slab.
Produces less reflection while retaining the character of the refined concrete. Maintenance and traffic still influence appearance.
Uses further refinement stages for more reflection. Lighting, flatness, scratches and cleaning can become more visually apparent.
Photographs and samples guide a finish category but cannot make one slab reproduce another slab's exact colour or aggregate pattern.
Slab assessment
Project pathway
Safety boundary
Grinding and abrasive polishing silica-containing concrete can create respirable crystalline silica. Workplace Health and Safety Queensland states that processing crystalline silica substances must be controlled, with the risk assessment and additional duties determined for the work.
Site access, isolation, engineering controls, cleaning and any occupied-area staging should therefore form part of the project plan rather than being covered by a “dust-free” promise.
Polished concrete FAQs
No. Condition, contaminants, repairs, thickness, flatness, aggregate and access need assessment. Some floors require preparation, another finish or a more limited result.
Not necessarily. Aggregate distribution and slab flatness vary. Edge zones, patches and previous work can look different from open areas.
No reliable promise can be made. Repair colour and texture can remain visible, and moving cracks may reopen unless their cause is addressed.
No. The completed surface, contaminants, footwear, cleaning and wet or dry conditions affect performance. Any project-specific classification must be identified and evidenced.
Area, slab condition, repairs, exposure, refinement stages, edges, access and protection determine the programme. A site-specific schedule follows assessment.
Use compatible cleaning guidance provided for the completed system. Manage grit and spills, and assess local wear before applying another treatment.
