Slab status
State whether the floor is new, existing or part of a renovation.
What the job involves
Mechanical polishing progressively grinds and refines a suitable slab. A new slab can be planned for the finish, while an existing slab may reveal repairs, cracks, stains and uneven aggregate.
Decisions that shape the scope
Exposure
Different exposure levels require different grinding depth.
Finish system
Mechanical polish and grind-and-seal are not interchangeable labels.
Edges
Walls, cabinetry, stairs and penetrations affect machine access and hand work.
Local planning point
What to check in this market
Warm, humid conditions make sequencing and moisture assessment important, but suitability is property-specific. Ask how the slab will be inspected and protected.
