Concrete floor laying in Reading

We begin with the site preparation, where we clear away all debris and thoroughly compact and level the substrate. This essential step sets a solid foundation for your concrete floor. Once the site is perfectly prepared, we set up formwork to define the edges and maintain the correct depth, ensuring precise results.

We then pour the concrete mix to a depth of 100mm, carefully spreading it to cover the entire area uniformly. Our skilled team uses tools like screeds and rakes to ensure the concrete mix is evenly distributed and leveled, which is crucial for achieving a flat and consistent surface. This attention to detail during the pouring process lays the groundwork for a flawless finish.

As the concrete begins to set, we employ a power float to finish the surface. This is done while the concrete is still pliable but firm enough to support the equipment and operator. The power float, equipped with rotating blades, smooths and compacts the concrete, resulting in a dense and durable finish. This method helps close the surface, reducing its porosity and enhancing resistance to wear. Additionally, power floating enhances the aesthetic appeal of the floor, creating a smooth and level surface that looks as good as it performs.

Polishing concrete floors in Reading

Opting for a polished finish on your concrete floors in Reading is an excellent choice for both aesthetics and durability. After the concrete has been poured and given time to cure, which is typically a 28 day period to reach full strength, our team will return to perform the polishing process. This involves methodically grinding the surface with increasingly finer diamond pads until the desired level of shine and smoothness is achieved. This step not only enhances the visual appeal of the floor but also significantly boosts its density and durability.

Once the polishing is complete, we apply a premium sealant to the surface. This seeps into the concrete, filling any microscopic pores and creating a robust barrier against stains, moisture, and wear. This final touch ensures that your polished concrete floor remains stunning and easy to maintain, offering lasting beauty and functionality for years to come.
