Surface Finishes

	Polished This option is a truly polished floor. It's an in-depth process of grinding, grouting and hardening. Using progressively finer diamonds and chemicals to bring the floor to a level of smoothness and shine similar to a piece of granite. It is not only beautiful, but is also resistant to surface damage. (This process does not have a topical coating, but a chemical barrier)
	Polyurethane This is a topical coating, tough and hard-wearing. Applied to ground concrete it will give a strong depth of colour and shine. It also has excellent resistance to spills eg. foods, liquids, oils and most chemicals. It would also suit soft or damaged concrete.
	Epoxy This coating is used for commercial and industrial flooring, for a heavy duty floor resistant to chemicals, fuels, acids, etc. Epoxy clears are a good choice for covering decorative concrete flooring such as metallic and flakes as it has a thick glass-like appearance.
	Acrylic These coatings are thin film and generally used on outdoor projects. They provide good stain resistance for driveways and paths, but can be very slippery in wet conditions, so a non-slip additive is usually recommended in wet areas.
