Feather Finish Flooring

Overview

What Is Feather Finish Flooring?

Feather finish flooring involves applying a thin cement-based overlay to existing surfaces before sealing for protection. It creates a smooth, contemporary micro-topping finish, and suits homes, showrooms and retail, workshops, studios and offices.

Grinding

Using specialised tools, the concrete surface is ground to the desired level of exposure. This process involves carefully adjusting the grinding equipment to achieve the perfect finish, ensuring that the aggregate within the concrete is revealed just enough to enhance its aesthetic appeal while maintaining structural integrity.

The grinding is performed in multiple passes, allowing for precise control over the depth of exposure, which ultimately contributes to the overall durability and visual quality of the surface. After the grinding is complete, the surface is often polished to achieve a smooth, glossy finish that not only looks great but also makes maintenance easier.

Refining

The feather finish is carefully refined to achieve a smooth and seamless appearance with subtle texture and depth.

Customisation

Various colours and decorative effects can be incorporated to create a unique finish tailored to the space.

Sealing

A protective sealer is applied to enhance durability, simplify maintenance and preserve the appearance of the finished surface.

Steve and his team at GrindnShine are approachable, friendly and all round good eggs.

Whilst flat out busy (always a good sign) they still managed to fit me in, with realistic timescales (which they stuck to) and kept me up to date with progress. The finish and colour are amazing and exactly as advised. One completely happy customer here who will be returning and recommending to anyone who needs work doing. Thanks again guys, legends!

The team at Grind n Shine are absolute legends, friendly, proactive, and fun.

Over the past year, I’d taken my car to several other paint shops that never seemed to have the time for me or just messed me about. One day I spotted Grind n Shine from the road, dropped in on a whim, and Steve had my bumper looking better than ever in no time at all. He even took the initiative to walk me through fitting the bumper in detail, even though I was doing that part myself, a genuine care for his customers. Even the way they’ve set up and decorated the workshop reflects the pride they take in what they do. Couldn’t ask for better service and couldn’t recommend them enough.

Steve and the team at Grind & Shine

Steve and the team at Grind & Shine were brilliant after my car was damaged in a pub car park. Not the biggest job,but they gave me a quote to give to the person responsible, then were quick and efficient in getting the job done. Definitely would recommend.
