Why get polished concrete? Reservoir homes, retail stores, commercial properties and industrial facilities can all benefit from the functionality and style of polished concrete floors. Modern in look, polished concrete finishes are also easy to maintain and long lasting.
We created a bespoke, custom finish that was born out of our ‘Polished Pewter’ finish for the first Shoegrab store in Victoria. The owner required an architectural, durable finish for their retail store and the resulting foot traffic.
This architectural home was designed for a customer that wanted a seamless, decorative, low VOC finish that looked like ‘polished concrete’. They understood and embraced the organic evolution of the floor’s final appearance. The result was a stunning, translucent blend of warm and cool greys, providing a perfect backdrop for their new home.
This project brief required a durable and attractive finish that showcased the customer’s collectable cars and provided a fantastic space for his mancave. Our Urban Stone finish was the perfect choice, offering unparalleled durability and a fit-for-purpose design ideal for garages, alfrescos, and workshops alike.
Available in a range of neutral colors, Urban Stone is engineered to withstand vehicular traffic while maintaining visual appeal. This finish is the ideal choice for those seeking long-lasting, easy-to-clean surfaces that combine functionality with aesthetics.
PrixCar Services is an automotive logistics company specialising in Vehicle Transport, Vehicle Processing and Storage, Fleet Conversions and Dealer Vehicle Storage. Located in Altona, they required an industrial grade finish recoating their entire plant, with line marking. Our Urban Industrial finish was the perfect choice and ticked all the boxes.
Token is an upmarket restaurant in Sth Yarra, purpose built for food and fun. Specialising in flavours from across Asia, customers can watch the theater of the open kitchen while sipping their favorite cocktail. Our customer wanted a decorative overlay that encompassed the entire space in a tone that provided a warm yet neutral canvas for the eclectic decor that made the venue unique.
Urban Floors have developed a reputation over the last 12 years for offering a wide range of polished concrete, decorative and concrete overlays, over concrete, timber or tiles.

A grind and seal is exactly what the name implies – the slab is ground back, normally between 200-400 grit level and then a topical concrete coating is applied. This finish is less labour intensive than a mechanical polish, and therefore cheaper and can be used effectively where a rustic, warehouse type look is required. The overall finish is very dependent on the age, quality and pour of the original slab.
Polished Concrete is a completely different process, and the slab must be poured by an experienced concreter, to specific strength and specification. Polished concrete is concrete that has been hardened with a chemical densifier and ground with progressively finer diamond tools. It is best to make your decision and do your research prior to your slab being poured to ensure you are making an informed decision. The level of aggregate that you would like to expose will determine how much grinding needs to be done and will also change the M2 price. You can also choose the level of gloss, it matt, satin or high gloss.
Providing your tiles are sound, we can install most of our products on top and can and do, create finishes over timber which is quite unique in our industry.
A burnished floor is not a polished concrete floor. A burnished floor is one that is cleaned and then sealed and often the finished result is not up to expectation. It does not have the benefits of a polished concrete floor or the durability. A specific process is required for a burnished finish and if this is the finish that you want, you should discuss with your builder and ensure that your slab will be poured with this in mind. We are often, called to install one of our finishes over a ‘burnished floor’ that didn’t work. A burnished finish can be successfully achieved, and a large portion of the cost comes from the slab contractor as a significant portion of the work is done by them.
Depending on the quality of the slab and the look and feel you want, we can either install a decorative coating over the top of your slab or we can enhance the existing character with a grind and seal.
