It lays on the floor like cardboard only a hell of a lot stronger. Claims a forklift can run on it. We used it when we built and all was good after using it. Best part is that it is not expensive.

Do not take my comment personally, but a sign to remove workboots on a worksite would contravene Worksafe and OH&S. By all mean put down protection for the floor, but would you like to be liable for possible foot injuries of workers, without boots, still working on the worksite? Re: Polished concrete: Order of events to avoid damage 7Jan 26, 2014 11:58 pm Friend of mine has done this once already and also going through it again.. We too wanted to get it but found out our slab isn't thick enough or have the correct mesh in place etc. Long story short is that he had the first grind done this time once the pad had cured sufficiently and will then have it all finalised (polished) once the brickies have been and build finished off. The first time though they did it after key handover but not ideal as hard to get into corners and avoid nudging walls. Now we are planning to still go polished but with no grind so still industrial looking but probably not as much exposed stone coming through.. Good luck and hope this helped..

After the first grind we plastic and taped everywhere including joins and the entire perimeter, then covered with 3mm mdf also taped. It worked great but keep an eye on it because if sand/ screws find a way under it won't take long to mark.
