Hey Onc,
I know from all my lurking that you are the guru when it comes to all things concrete, especially the polished kind. I know in my own head the look & finish that I want, but what I want to know is how to articulate that to my builder.
I want polished concrete all the way through our house, except bedrooms we have decided to carpet. But I also want to have concrete floors in the bathroom/ensuite. Researching this option I have come across terms like "etched", what should I be asking for to have the concrete floor continue through to my bathroom area. Also our outdoor area, this will be the same level as inside with recessed tracks for the doors to outside, so it's seamless. Once again what finish should I be asking for here?
I really like the mix from that previous pic I asked you about, maybe a bit more charcol in the concrete colour, but I loved the level of sheen/grind you have done. I'm not wanting a glossy finish, more matt. So what should I be asking for "in concrete talk". I just want to have my head around the process to expect so that I know they know what they're doing, or if I need to get in a different contractor if it sounds off. Very long winded I'm sorry
