How much does Polished Concrete cost?
If you’re asking these questions, you’re not alone.
Concrete is a finish that’s been around for a long time, and we don’t see it ever going out of fashion. After being in the surfacing industry for close to 20 years, the request from clients to either have a Polished Concrete floor or be able to achieve concrete looking aesthetics throughout their home increases year on year.
And we can understand why, the industrial finish is both modern and timeless, and complements an array of materials and furnishings. One question we get asked a lot is how much do Polished Concrete floors cost? While there is no one set price you can usually expect prices to range between $65 - $140 per square meter depending on the desired finish (e.g. grind & seal or mechanical polish) Compared to other floor finishes on the market, Polished Concrete is a cost-effective option, however you’ll find prices vary depending on a number of factors including the type of Polished Concrete finish specified and total square meters.
So what exactly is Polished Concrete you might be asking?
Polished Concrete is different to our X-Bond product. Polished Concrete is a process where a concrete floor (existing or new concrete slab) is mechanically ground, honed and polished in order to cut a concrete floor’s surface to achieve a specified level of appearance. The beauty about having a Polished Concrete floor is it’s hard-wearing and durable. Because of its durability, Polished Concrete is being specified more and more in high traffic areas like commercial, retail & industrial spaces, and homeowners are loving this timeless finish for their residencies.
Polished concrete flooring and surfaces are tightly compacted which reduces the development of stains, making it easier to maintain compared to other concrete surfaces because of its smoothness and durability. Our mechanical polishing method doesn’t require sealers or waxes and can be easily up-kept with a simple cleaning routine such as using a dry dust mop to remove dirt and grit.
