Overview

What Is Burnished concrete floors?

Burnishing involves mechanically polishing raw concrete without adding coatings. It produces a natural, smooth finish with a soft sheen, and is commonly used in warehouses, lofts and cafes.
Grinding
Using specialised polishing equipment, the concrete surface is refined with minimal grinding to preserve the natural cream layer. This process creates the smooth, understated appearance that defines burnished concrete.
The surface is progressively refined to improve consistency and enhance the natural characteristics of the concrete without exposing significant aggregate.
Different sheen levels can be achieved to suit the desired appearance while maintaining the subtle character of the finish.
A protective treatment is applied to improve durability and simplify maintenance while preserving the natural look of the floor.
