Barn Conversion, Bedale, North Yorkshire

The existing farm building in Bedale was being totally renovated, from a dilapidated state, into a holiday let. The customer carried out the ground and insulation works etc before installing UFH. JLR Contracts then proceeded to pour the concrete over the UFH pipework at a depth of 100mm. The concrete was poured and finished to a smooth bull-float finish. The concrete chosen, was a local 10mm aggregate blended concrete mix, which gave the warm golden look required. The concrete was then allowed to cure for a minimum of 28 days. We then returned to carry out all the works required to produce a full aggregate premium high gloss polished concrete finish. We firstly carried out a heavy grind to remove several mm of concrete from the surface, and to fully expose the aggregate. A medium grind was then carried out to reduce the heavy grind marks and smooth the floor further. A grouting stage then takes place which fills in all the small pit holes, small pull outs and imperfections etc. The floor is then chemically densified to create an extremely hard-wearing surface. Diamond polishing stages were then carried out, starting from a medium polishing grit size through subsequent finer grit polishing stages until the required gloss level was reached. The polished concrete floor was then sealed and burnished, to give help guard against staining and give a final lustre. The resulting, premium high gloss polished concrete floor, will give years of service with a minimal basic cleaning routine. Contact us for any help with polished concrete floors.
