Preparation of the site

Preparing the site is crucial to the success of your project. We start by clearing the area of any debris, vegetation, or obstacles that could interfere with the concrete installation. This includes removing old concrete, if necessary. Next, we level the ground to ensure a uniform base, needed for avoiding future issues like cracking or uneven settling. We then compact the soil to provide a stable foundation for the concrete. Depending on the project requirements, we install forms to shape the concrete and lay down a layer of gravel or rebar for reinforcement, enhancing the strength and longevity of the pour. Our meticulous approach ensures the site is fully prepared for the concrete, setting the stage for a flawless finish.

The curing process

After pouring the concrete, curing begins, a critical phase to achieve maximum strength and durability. We keep the concrete moist for a minimum of 7 days, a practice that prevents cracks and ensures a uniformly hard surface. Depending on weather conditions, we may use water-retaining fabrics, plastic sheeting, or continuous misting to maintain the necessary moisture levels. For larger or industrial projects, chemical curing agents are applied to the surface, sealing in moisture and facilitating the curing process. This careful management of the curing phase guarantees the concrete reaches its optimal hardness and longevity, delivering a floor or foundation that meets the highest standards of quality and performance.

Once the concrete has fully cured, we offer an additional service to polish the surface, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and durability. Polishing transforms the concrete into a smooth, reflective finish, increasing its resistance to wear and tear. We use industrial-grade grinders and diamond abrasives, progressively working from coarser to finer grits until the desired level of shine and smoothness is achieved. This process not only beautifies the concrete but also seals the pores, making the surface easier to clean and maintain. Polished concrete is an excellent choice for both residential and commercial spaces, offering a modern look that complements any design style while ensuring the floor remains tough against daily use.
