Hi
I have been a "lurker" for a while (getting excellent info from everyone about going with project home builders) and am looking for information on polished concrete floors.
We are going with a project home and were thinking about putting in polished concrete floors after handover. I rang a guy yesterday who has, apparently been in the business for 30 yrs and he wasn't home but his wife offered information. She said that she had had all different types of floors and polished concrete was the highest maintenance of the lot. She said that you need to reseal the concrete every year, and that wear in the traffic areas is easily visible a couple of months after it is finished. She said that shopping centres etc re do their floors on average once a month. She was extremely negative about the whole thing and I actually thought that maybe she wants her husband to retire and therefore trying to scare off clients
I rang a couple of other contractors but no one called me back.
Can anyone confirm this information, or give me more information, as we really had our hearts set on it but not if it is that high maintenance?
Thanks everyone
G
