Polished Concrete Cafe Floor Case Study in Bondi
A new cafe fitout in Bondi required a premium polished concrete floor to complement an industrial-chic interior. The new slab had construction contamination and the program was tight around the fitout schedule. We removed construction contamination, polished through progressive grits, densified the slab, and applied stain guard ready for hospitality foot traffic.

Pricing and project context
