Full exposure
The Polished Concrete Full Stone Finish uses a deeper grinding process to fully expose the aggregate within the concrete. Scratch marks are then progressively removed to produce a fully polished concrete floor.
This highlights the natural beauty of the individual stones that would otherwise remain hidden within the concrete floor.
