Why Diamond Polished Concrete Floors Are the Preferred Choice for Kiwis
Diamond polished concrete floors have gained immense popularity in New Zealand due to their sleek, modern appearance, durability, versatility, and low maintenance. Using diamond embedded grinding tools, we create durable and slip-resistant polished concrete surfaces for both residential and commercial properties.
- Beyond their visual appeal, diamond polished floors are incredibly durable, and are low maintenance.
- Their eco-friendly nature—due to the use of existing concrete without the need for additional materials—also contributes to their growing popularity, where sustainability is a key consideration.
Custom Finishes to Suit Different Aesthetics
Diamond polished concrete floors offer a wide range of custom finishes to suit different aesthetics and functional needs. These finishes vary based on the level of grinding, polishing, and exposure of the aggregate in the concrete. Whether you’re looking for the minimalism of a matte finish or the luxury of high gloss, we offer a solution that enhances both the appearance and durability of your concrete floors.
Matte Finish (Low Sheen)
For those looking for a more understated look, a matte finish provides a subtle, low-sheen appearance. This finish involves fewer polishing steps and stops at a lower grit, giving the concrete a smooth yet non-reflective surface. A matte finish offers the durability of polished concrete without the high-gloss shine, making it a practical and stylish choice for areas that require a more subtle appearance.
Satin Finish (Medium Sheen)
A satin finish delivers a moderate shine, striking the perfect balance between the understated matte and the ultra-reflective high gloss. It’s polished to a medium grit, offering a soft lustre that reflects just the right amount of light. This finish is ideal for residential and commercial spaces where you want some shine without the reflective mirror-like quality of high-gloss. It also adds a layer of sophistication while maintaining a more relaxed aesthetic.
High Gloss Finish (Mirror-Like Sheen)
The high gloss finish is the most sought-after for its mirror-like shine, achieved by polishing the concrete surface to a high grit using finer diamond abrasives. You can achieve this type of polished concrete floors with Pro-Uplifters. Our team creates an ultra-smooth surface with maximum light reflection, giving your floors a modern, luxurious look. High gloss is perfect for showrooms, retail spaces, and contemporary homes, as it enhances the visual appeal of the space.
Exposed Aggregate Finish
The exposed aggregate finish is achieved by grinding down the concrete surface to reveal the stones or aggregates embedded within the concrete. This decorative finish provides a textured, natural look that can be tailored based on the amount of aggregate you want to expose. The more we grind, the larger the stones we reveal, creating a unique and visually appealing surface. Exposed aggregate finishes are commonly used in driveways, outdoor patios, and commercial spaces where aesthetics and slip resistance are important.
Honed Finish
It offers a matte, non-reflective surface with a smooth texture, achieved through light grinding and minimal polishing. Unlike high-gloss finishes, honed concrete does not reflect light and has a more natural, stone-like appearance. It’s often used in outdoor areas, such as patios and pool decks, where slip resistance and a subtle, natural look are desired. This finish is also popular in spaces where a high-end, understated aesthetic is preferred.
How to Maintain Diamond Polished Concrete Floors
Maintaining diamond polished concrete floors is simple and requires minimal effort. Regular sweeping or dust mopping helps to remove dirt and debris that can dull the surface. For deeper cleaning, use a damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner to preserve the floor’s shine without causing damage. In high-traffic areas, periodic burnishing or re-polishing may be needed to restore the glossy appearance of polished concrete floors.
