Polished Concrete Flooring

Rustic, Beautiful, contemporary and Industrial.

Polished Concrete Flooring / Polished Concrete Overlays

Polished concrete is a type of concrete flooring that has been treated with chemicals and gradually ground down to an increasingly smooth surface. As such, it offers the ability to transform an existing concrete slab into a visually appealing and functional flooring option for anything from an industrial space to a chic retail or hospitality environment.

Polished concrete comes in high-gloss, matt or industrial chic finishes, is hard-wearing and damage resistant.

We utilise the most cutting-edge machinery to achieve the best concrete flooring results

The popularity of concrete flooring has increased in recent times, largely owing to improved grinding techniques that have allowed for more refined and sophisticated finishes. Using HTC SuperfloorTM concrete polishing machinery, we can polish new and existing concrete floors to an impeccable standard.

HTC are the market leader for grinding and polishing technology and with experienced operators we are able to achieve truly stunning results with concrete floors.

Polished concrete overlays are a great alternative to traditional polished concrete

Polished concrete overlays are ideal for environments such as Residential properties, Retail spaces, Office and reception areas, Art Galleries and museums, hotels, cafes and Bars.

Polished concrete effect

For projects with time restraints, overlays are a fast solution to achieving a polished concrete effect, with the added control of sample selection allowing you to dictate the end result if the properties of the existing substrate are undesirable.

Installation

Our poured polished concrete overlays are either trowel or pump applied depending on the project size. With installation periods as little as 2/3 days our polished concrete overlays offer an efficient and cost-effective solution resulting in extremely hard wearing decorative concrete floors. Our systems are applied at a minimum depth of 5mm and offer an excellent solution for renovations with time restraints and come in a range of colours and finishes to accommodate all budgets.

Colours and styles

We offer a wide range of colours and styles which can be applied homogeneously, mixed and marbled, distressed in appearance, with or without exposed aggregates and sealed or polished. Polished concrete comes in high-gloss, matt or industrial chic finishes, is extremely durable and can be applied to a minumum depth as little as 5mm.

Surface Finishes

HTC Superfloor™ Platinum
Platinum produces the glossiest finish and is the concept we normally recommend to our customers. It involves more grinding stages than the other concepts. The result is an unbeatably durable floor. Truck wheels and substances leave no marks on the glossy surface and light reflects gently off the floor.
HTC Superfloor™ Gold
Using the Gold concept, you do not grind as deep into the concrete as with Platinum. This means that less ballast is exposed. Just like the other concepts, Gold then involves polishing the floor with HTC TwisterTM to achieve a gloss that is almost as brilliant as a Platinum finish. Gold produces a floor with excellent resistance to marks from truck wheels, etc. HTC SuperfloorTM Gold is ideal for concrete floors that are already even and level.
HTC Superfloor™ Silver
The Silver concept is a version of Platinum. Using this concept, you grind as deep into the concrete as with Platinum, but do not polish it. The ballast is exposed as with Platinum. Silver is therefore excellent if you want a floor with a matt surface finish.
HTC Superfloor™ Bronze
Bronze is the concept with the least number of grinding and polishing stages. This concept does not involve exposing the construction concrete. Instead, the top layer of the surface paste is polished but not removed. This process creates a stronger surface paste with a shiny finish.

What our clients say

I was recommended to use Abstract by the builder we were using to carry out renovations in the school over the summer holidays. They spent time and patience helping me choose the right colours and design layouts to get the most out of each space and to compliment my colour scheme, and this reflects in the positive comments from parents and visitors alike. Abstract are the best!
Bev BoswellThe Grange school, Banbury
I contacted Abstract about installing the flooring in the food preparation areas of my new SUBWAY® sandwich store. They suggested resin as an alternative as they thought it might be more suitable for a food prep area. They explained the benefits of resin and it made perfect sense to go with this option. Their proactive and problem solving way of thinking has made my store even more hygienic and efficient. I now have resin in a number of my stores thanks to Abstract.
Daljit NihalSubway Franchisee, Coventry
Abstract Flooring are a credit to their profession. They chose to extend the job because they needed longer to prepare my floor, instead of rushing it. Their professionalism was there from start to finish and it was very pleasing to see modern craftsman at work. I would have no problem recommending Abstract to anyone who wanted a professional fitting service.
Shane O'NeillMidlands
I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say a very BIG thank you for sorting our floors out. You have been utterly fantastic; totally professional, tenacious and very intelligent coming up with solutions and not problems (not to mention finishing on time too!). I can’t recommend you too highly and am so grateful to have found you – having used what feels like every other flooring contractor in the past – Abstract are truly in a class of their own.
Heather ParryFodder, Harrogate
