Polished Concrete Floor Dilemma

Having polished cement floors is quite popular in Cape Town. I'm looking at laying this in my kitchen. Check out this website for more info about how to lay and polish the screed and different colours available for dying the concrete. I'm sure they would ship to the uk. http://www.cemcrete.co.za/

Do yourself a humongous favour and don't go for polished concrete. It is about as practical as putting down white marble. It will show every stain and scratch and doesn't age gracefully. It needs to be sealed after it is laid (and fully dried out...) - ideally with something like clear two-part resin; and that is a very expensive finish in itself. With the underfloor heating it will probably crack, and to get it right requires a lot of depth (and weight) which you probably don't have in a flat. We have tried this many times and have learned the problems the hard way. The solution that I have arrived at is to go for large format fully vitrified porcelain tiles in a "concrete" finish. These days they come in massive sizes - 60 x 120cm and even 75 x 150cm, which give you the "slab" look and feel, and the finish is bomb proof. Typical ranges would be "Concreto" by Strata Tiles, "Composition" by Solus Tiles or by Microcement by Apavisa (Distributed by Strata). In fact Apavisa seem to make a large range of these tiles: http://www.apavisa.com/en/colecciones/?concepto=Cementos&espesor=&filtro=1 One caveat - in the large format these tiles are up to £45/sqm, but I would pay double that never to have to deal with another polished concrete floor again!

Polished concrete floors, as the name suggests, are effectively poured concrete floors. Concrete that has been treated with a chemical densifier and ground to create a smooth polished surface. Stains and dyes can be applied to enhance polished concrete, giving it a wide aesthetic appeal in addition to a functional one. such floors will last a life time and are relatively easy to maintain and repair. Epoxy floors are made of epoxy resin that again is poured onto the existing screed and once cured are hard wearing and come in a variety of different colours and designs. Epoxy floors are somewhat more technical with better temperature and chemical resistance and are often used in commercial or industrial applications. in both cases you will need a team of professional installers that will also be able to guide you toward the best product for your home.

Hi there just wanted some advice on anyone who has PC flooring or concrete tiles. I am debating between the two and there doesn't seem to be much difference in the cost. It will be a big part of our budget so I want to make the right choice. I've heard diff things about the maintenence for the flooring and worried this could be an additionally large long term cost. Any advice appreciated. Thank you Sheetal
