Hi all,
We are in the preliminary stages of designing our new build, and I am very interested in polished concrete. I read through other threads on here and have found a wealth of information!
Our house will have a verandah around almost all of it, which will be extended in depth along the back of the house for entertaining etc.
I guess my question is: is there much of a difference between internal and external polished concrete, and should I use the same colour/pattern/accents etc so there is a good flow between the two, particularly on the back entertaining area. Ideally we would like to have stacker doors so the family room can be opened up and "extended" onto the entertaining area. The pictures I have seen show high gloss internal floors, which I love love love, and more matt finish external. Do you think it would look odd to have gloss externally? Or should I do a different finish/colour on the external floor? What is the difference in slip resistance especially for the outdoor floor/verandah?
And also, how does this work with the build? I assume they would lay the entire slab at the one time, and then just finish them separately when required.
Any ideas or experience would be much appreciated! Thanks!!
