Concrete

About Concrete

Concrete is a composite material made by mixing a number of ingredients including cement, water, aggregates (such as sand and gravel), and sometimes additives. When mixed and allowed to cure, concrete becomes a hard and solid substance. It is widely used in construction because of its strength, durability, and versatility.

Concrete is typically found outside in patios, driveways and pavements. As concrete is generally found in exterior areas, it is vulnerable to the elements, weather and heavy foot traffic. This makes cleaning and maintaining these surfaces very important and with Tiling Logistics, this is something you can easily acomplish. 

Tiling Logistics provide deep cleaners to remove any build up of dirt caused constant use.  We also have a number of heavy-duty sealers so you can protect concrete surfaces from the outdoors and maintain their great appearance. 

Grinding and Polishing Concrete Surfaces 

Polishing concrete is a great way to increase the overall appearance of concrete itself and aesthetic of the nearby environment. It also helps improves their durability against foot traffic and wear and tear. 

To polishing conrete flooring, we using suggest Faber Universal Glossy for the best results. A water-based polishing cream that leaves concrete surfaces with a high shine and resistance to foot traffic.  Apply to concrete floors using a white polishing pad. 

Grinding concrete can change and restore its appearance by levelling the surface, preparing the surface for treatment or polishing the stone to a reflective shine. Grinding also gets rid of defects and damage on the surface of concrete floors. 

For large scale concrete grinding and polishing, use the Lavina L16EU Variable Speed Grinding and Polishing Machine. Its a completes floor machine for a number of surface care treatments including grinding, polishing and coating removal whilst being small and relatively lightweight. Use alongside the Calibra Scratch Removal Discs getting rid of scratches on medium to hard concrete. 

When using the Lavina L16EU guide the machine across the floor in straight lines at a constant speed, each line slighty overlapping the last.
