There are so many different names givent to polished concrete it can be extremely confusing for example;
hiperfloor, superfloor, pyrafloor, hit n miss, burnished, surface polish, cream polish, salt n pepper, partial exposure, bronze, silver, gold, platinum, just to name a few........
At Diagrind (R) we have tried to simplfy the process and ignore all the fancy names which essentially mean the same thing. American standards (as we are yet to get Australian ones) break polished concrete into several classes
Class A: cream polish/burnished concrete
Class B: partial exposure
Class C/D: medium to full exposure
Class S (this is unique to Australia: grind and seal (varying levels of aggregate exposure)
There are no fancy names, this can be used by any propriatary polishing system. This way you know that you are getting what you asked for from your contractor. We provide free resources for you to use and give you contractor to descibe the type of polished concrete you want.
All of the forms are here
