This is one of the best videos I have I have seen in which someone explain the principles of getting a nice concrete finish . Does your work cover small jobs ? I was thinking of using Diathonite Screed, as it has a heat retaining qualities with underfloor heating in a small extension? Would I be able to get a decent finish on it
It's not a screed I have used to be honest, so I couldn't how it'll turn out. If it sets hard enough and has good abrasion resistance then it stands a good chance of being polishable.
Hi! Thanks for the great video. Can microcement be applied over thinset? Thank you!
Can this applies over thinset?
Microcement derive a lot of their strength from the substrate it is attached too. As long as the substrate is strong 30+ mpa, it'll usually come out well.
Is it realiable to apply microcement on facades
What would you recommend to use in a jail where inmates are going to piss and crap on the floors?
You'd need some kind of topical sealer or resin
Yeah.. you cant have a cement related video without a glimpse of someone's butt crack. Thats professionalism.
The joys of real life :)
please send me details nktradingco.info@gmail.com
this was an outstanding video to learn from. thank you. all the videos I've seen, the people are spraying a tiny bit with the sprayer. this is clearly not enough. I appreciate your insight and sharing this knowledge.
Hello, Enjoyed your videos. I have a planetary polisher with three five inch heads, a DS3011. The machine only weighs thirty pounds and the Fein grinder powering it is about 2 HP. I’ve been experimenting with discs both wet and dry with vast array of results. The wet counter top/ stone pads seem to work well up to 800 but after that the machine bogs down due to absence of water, part of that is a design difficulty with planetary’s. Tried switching to wet or dry floor pads similar to your hybrids where more water can get underneath the pad but the resin of those is so hard that there’s little release or polish as, I’d surmise, they’re more designed to be under a machine that weighs 100 plus lbs. with a smaller machine that would mean exerting that much pressure while polishing or grinding and going beyond the power units ability. Would these pads you have work on a smaller lighter machine? Regards Paul
These pads are designed for heavy floor machine, you'd be better off with thinner pads as the diamond will be more accessed.
Great video! This weekend our mouldy carpet was lifted and the slab underneath ground, a sealer was applied but it seems many steps have been missed. Is it too late to apply a densifyer? How do we know if it's a soft floor?
Hi just watched this great looking fab i am doing up a large house in the Caribbean and i am researching this option how do i get the products i would really need some advice . As I am on a budget and think this may be a way to save costs
What about concrete countertop
Hi Chalmer, you can use a densifier on a countertop but as most countertop mixes have a very low water:cement ratio they tend to be very low porosity. So there maybe a chance that some densifiers will not penetrate fully.
Hi, what's the type of the concrete? Thx
From memory it was a C40 - 40 Mpa power trowelled slab (not very well done)
5 minutes straight of this guy's ass hanging out.
But what an ass lol
How do you suggest to have a polished concrete floor for blast freezer operations usually operating at minus 40 deg Centigrade
How would a densities work on a soft clay floor? Claycreat?
When installing epoxy floors and you wanna densify the concrete. Which one do you do first. Polish then densify ànd right then the primers or you polish the floor again after the densifier for good concrete bonding with the primer
Do you do sample packs of your product at all?
Thanks for the informative video. I'm looking to densify a white micro concrete wear layer (3mm thick) over a SLC levelled floor. I'd prefer the surface remain matt or satin, rather than gloss. I was looking at Everbuild (a Sika brand) silicate based 403 concrete hardener. It's about 1/3 the price of other products that are also silicate based. I'm wondering if it's a false economy. Will test first of course. Is your product suitable for ending with a matt or satin finish (so, could the floor be lightly sanded with say 120 grit afterwards to take away the gloss)? The other query is, is densifying a thin (albeit fibre reinforced and polymer modified) mortar layer (the 'micro concrete') a bad idea if the floor has encapsulated electric under floor heating? i.e. is it quite likely to break up if the surface becomes much harder, when subject to thermal expansion? Last query, in your view would a 5% SBR content (effectively 2% SBR solids), WRT cement, interfere significantly with the effectiveness of a silicate densifier?
What are disadvantages of densified concrete ? And how much it is expensive than epoxy/PU flooring ?
YOUR AMAZING KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK - LOVE THE EXPLANATION OF THIS PROCESS BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN
Nice
Any thoughts on a densifier/sealer like ps104 as a final layer on a garage floor? I'm thinking of sanding then sealing without polishing as it's a bit out of price range unfortunately. But it could be polished in the future right?
Hi there, it's not a product we've used, but if it converts the free lime into CSH then there's every chance it will provide a more usable floor surface with added protection. Yes you'll still be able to polish later on.
Great job explaining the application, how long should we let the densify dry? Overnight?
Most densifiers do work better the longer you can leave them, especially with softer floors that you've needed to apply many coats to. But we've successfully continued working within 1-2 hours of a light application.
Hi! Do you travel to oxford to polish floors? Thanks!
How is the topcoat non slip?
nice
How did you make the different shadowing? It looks amazing. Would love to make bathroom walls look like that but not in one shadow but like yours!
The shadowing you're seeing is the "cream" from the power trowel. Once the surface is polished it brings depth and color to the floor.
Hi, im Kris from Jakarta, Indonesia. Is it possible to polish a steel fiber reinforced concrete floor?? Does it make an ugly pattern instead of rock salt look.
Hey guys, just curious as to what grit resins you started with on the Lavina? Thanks!
We started at 200 grit on this one
Take that horrible plastic door off ! :p
Thanks man from Canada
Nicely covered. Sad, but very true analogy of what separates DIY and highly experienced professionals. In saying that, contractors invest heavily in equipment though commonly fail to invest in themselves.... manufactures focus on selling rather then build the professionalism of the industry collectively.
WOW! What a transformation, excellent workmanship.
Looks like you been busy on many different projects in this vid, I see you got that steve bloke on the floor as well, did I spot a new 4 headed 3 phase machine in there somewhere?
Looks really nice Dave, Its good when the power float has been left as it should be to achieve a polished cream finish, I have been working on other methods of how to finish polished cream.
Never knew Matt Santoro do polish floors 2:41
Well no shit ! I understand if I'm hiring someone trained I'll get a nice looking floor unfortunately I don't have that kind of money to do my house and the tiles are there now are disgusting!
How do you protect the floor for the rest of construction?
We use correx flooring protection
you gone 3 phase?
Yeah we've got 5 three phase machines mate
Dude does the last few seconds cut out at the end of the video? Trying to work out if I need send it back.
Hi there, I've never had that problem to be honest. It's a great camera which is greatly improved with faster glass.
I'm based in western aus and was wondering what the tooling is called that you used to massage in the grout is called and where I can purchase them from
Hi there, the tools are the STI grout pans, they work really nice.
great video mate
Thanks mate!
After the final trowel can that be the finished floor with the addition of a sealer? I am looking for a screed I can apply to my floor that does not require polishing but still has an ascetically pleasing look. Thanks, Matt.
Matthew Holmes Hi Matt, Yes you sure can
Yeah, things are much easier on the dark side mate lol
Turning to the dark side no jack in site lol
l liked it's very good .
