Concrete floor. - TilersForums.com

Was called in to look at a some floors in a very modern new house. The floor finish has been power floated to get a very smooth finish, and this is going to be the finished floor the client wants. Not polished just sealed with a matt sealer. The builder decided to seal it himself before cleaning the floor :yikes: He has now been thrown off the job due to loads of problems. I did a test patch on friday to see if i could remove the sealer & crap. I managed to get what the client wanted but if i get the job it will be a nightmare...:mad2:

Its a bit different...The front of the house is sheet steel thats rusty..thats the finish...The kitchen walls are rough concrete thats the finish..I think once its finished and all the fitting are in it will look good if thats what you like.

Blimey.... You wouldn't want to do the dusting would you.... Very industrial though. Done well it looks nice ... Is it an Agila concrete floor do you know?? If so it will have a curing agent at the surface...

Are you looking at that strip at the bottom of the wall?

So like a house where the builders have been kicked off the job & then left for a few years? Too modern for me
