Residential Refurbish Of Cottage, Stocksfield, Northumberland

The existing farm cottage in Northumberland was being totally renovated and refurbished and converted into a holiday let. The client carried out all the ground and insulation works etc before installing UFH pipework. 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 dull powerfloat finish. A high quality powerfloat finish is critical if a Rustic/Industrial finish is required. The concrete chosen, was a local blended mix, which gave the warm colour required.The concrete was allowed to cure for a minimum of 28 days. JLR Contracts then returned to carry out all the polishing works that were required, to produce a Rustic / Industrial finish. JLR firstly carried out a very light diamond micro grind to remove any slight surface imperfections. The floor was then chemically densified to create an extremely hard-wearing surface.The 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 warm colour of the concrete gave all the living spaces the warm contemporary look and feel that was required. The resulting polished concrete floor will give years of service with a minimal basic cleaning routine. Contacts us for any help with polished concrete floors.
