How to use polishing method to deal with chaotic concrete floor?
Located in Cumbria, California, this exquisite custom house is filled with unique design features in each room, such as curved wooden rafters, central wood-burning concrete fireplaces used as structural columns, custom-made steel doors, Windows and baseboards, and a concrete sink in the bathroom.Throughout the process, the polished concrete floor unifies all the different design elements of this custom home, not only for its understated elegance, but also for its sustainability.
Polished concrete
The owner chose to use polished concrete because it is a green alternative to carpet.On floors with a radiant heating system planned, it is desirable to avoid installing floors.Polished concrete reduces allergen problems that used to be a problem in carpeted houses, but the main reason is that it looks really cool!

However, when the floors were first watered, they did not look as "cool" as expected by the owners."The general contractor used red pine paper and tape to protect the new concrete floor. The tape left dark streaks in the floor as it solidified.These stripes are very deep.The original polishing contractor spent a month polishing with a smaller machine, and the new contractor tasked with the restoration was asked to repolish the floor.
Polished concrete
The new contractor's solution was to repolish the floor to reveal the aggregate, removing as many streaks as possible and distracting the view.Because the floor is painted in black pigment as a whole, the exposed aggregate gives it a terrazzo appearance.But achieving that overall level is a challenge.

Previous polishing contractors had densified the floor, making polishing and polishing very difficult.Also, the baseboard is 1/8-inch-thick steel, which leaves little margin for error as no shields can be used on the manual grinder.

The new builders began by polishing the floor with two HTC machines and the floor with up to 150 pieces of abrasive.Next, they used lithium silicate densification and polished to 800 mesh.The final step is to protect the floor with two layers of transparent coating.The work took about a month to complete, as did the rest of the house.

Thanks to the new efforts of the new contractor, the floor now meets the owners' expectations both in appearance and performance.The new contractor hired to repair the mess on the floor and did a great job.Today's floors are poorly maintained and very durable,
