Polished Concrete Uncolored

Polished Concrete (Uncolored)

The Uncolored Self-Leveling Polished Concrete is available in 25 kg buckets or bags (depending on manufacturing) and can be custom-tinted to your desired color.

This base, made with white cement, allows you to create your own unique shades while maintaining the same characteristics as pre-colored polished concrete. The only difference is that you color it according to your preferences.

Coverage:
25 kg = 3 m² at 4 mm thickness.

Why Choose Self-Leveling Polished Concrete?

• • Ease of Application: Its self-leveling formula spreads evenly without manual smoothing, saving time and effort.
• • Elegant Finish: The smooth texture provides a modern aesthetic for spaces like living rooms, kitchens, or offices.
• • High Durability: Designed to withstand wear and impacts, ensuring long-lasting quality.

How to Use:

1. Mix the powder with water using an electric mixer at 500 RPM, adding the powder gradually into the water until you achieve a homogeneous mixture.
2. Let the mixture rest briefly to allow air bubbles to dissipate. For a smoother result, sift the mixture using a sieve while transferring it to another bucket.
3. Apply a 4 mm layer using a leveling bar.
4. Use a spiked roller and nail shoes to remove air bubbles, then smooth the surface with a Flemish trowel to erase marks and create uniformity. Let the trowel glide over the surface without scraping.
5. For a seamless finish, pour subsequent batches quickly, slightly overlapping the previous layer to blend them together.

Protection:

• - For standard traffic: Use Premium Concrete Varnish.
• - For high-traffic areas or maximum protection: Opt for Optimum Concrete Varnish.
• - To protect the varnish from wear: Apply a Wax layer.

Tips:

• Work in cool conditions and avoid drafts during drying.
• Use the exact recommended water quantity, weighing it before each mix. Excess water can weaken the concrete.
• Respect existing expansion, contraction, and perimeter joints, especially on heated floors.
• Ensure compatibility with primers and the polished concrete.
• Round off sharp corners (e.g., pillars or right angles) to prevent cracks.
• Install trim at door thresholds to stop the pour cleanly.
• Use perimeter strips to separate walls from the floor and protect woodwork with tape.
