Polished Concrete
Concrete has traditionally been thought of a something you see on a factory floor, garage or in the backyard.
Many buildings have concrete floors and traditionally these have been covered with carpet, tiles or timber. With homes now mainly being built with slab on ground, homeowners have spent many hours agonising over how to cover the plain concrete to turn their house into a home.

Today with advances in grinding equipment and concrete densifiers and the availability of stains/dyes these same floors can now be turned into a feature of the decor. Polished concrete floors add a warmth to the building or home. They are environmentally friendly and aid in the cooling and heating of the structure.
Regal Floors has closely been following trends overseas where polished concrete is fast becoming and alternative and highly desirable flooring solution. The concrete floor can now be polished, stained, dyed or coated with special polymers, to achieve decorative finishes that can look good and be virtually maintenance free.

These finishes are fast becoming an alternative flooring solution in the USA and are starting to be recognised locally by architects, interior designers and home builders as an alternative to traditional floor coverings.

Polishing of concrete can be done to new concrete as well as existing concrete. New concrete can now be ordered with decorative aggregate as to further individualise your floor.

Decorative Concrete Solutions

Concrete floors used in commercial, retail or residential settings usually means looking for a covering to go over it. In the past this meant carpet, tiles, timber or vinyl.

Stains and Dyes
Acid stained concrete floors offer a truly unique and distinctive look to your floor.
Whether it's faux marble, solid colour, elegant hues or artistic design, they are all possible with the use of stains and dyes to decorate a dull, boring grey concrete floor.
No longer are concrete floors to be viewed as something that needs to be covered with timber, carpet or tiles. By utilising the new technology in stains and dyes Regal Floors creates a individual and unique floor.
Trends overseas show this flooring alternative to be equally suited to offices, showrooms, retail stores as they are in homes.
When combined with Polished Concrete, stained floors are unique.

Epoxy Coatings
Most concrete floors are just plain . They look dull, drab and boring. Concrete is porous and as such any spills on the floor get absorbed into the concrete leaving you with unsightly stains.
Regal Floors can now convert your dull, unsightly concrete floor into a bright, vibrant and stain resistant floor using new technology epoxy polymers. These are stain, acid and oil resistant and require very low maintenance other than regular cleaning.
Whether you want a single uniform colour or a vibrant mix of flakes, specs or special effects, Regal Floors will design a finish to compliment your taste.

Tile and Grout Restoration
Tiles are increasingly being used as flooring in homes, offices, retail and showrooms. They are clean, crisp and accentuate the décor. Interior Designers and Architects are specifying tiles to create unique environments.
These floors still require to be maintained and cared floor to preserve their appearance and lifespan.
Regal Floors has the training, experience and knowledge to maintain tiled floors. Whether they are Ceramic, Porcelain, Stone or Terracotta we can restore these back to as new condition and then implement a maintenance schedule, if required.
We also work with new installations to remove grout haze, wax coatings and apply sealers.

Polished Porcelain Tiles
Polished Porcelain Tiles look modern, sleek and are widely used on floors today. Many Porcelain Tiles has a protective coating, usually wax, applied to protect the surface during transport and laying.
This will make the floor look dull and dirty. The coating needs to be removed and the surface cleaned and buffed to show the true finish of the tile.
Regal Floors has the experience, training and equipment to remove these coatings from your Polished Porcelain Floor. A penetrating sealer can then be applied (if required) to protect the tile and grout.

Sealing
Stone, Concrete or Tiled surfaces are all porous to some extent. This makes them susceptible to staining. Differences in porosity make some surfaces more prone to staining than others.
There are many sealers available today but generally they come in two categories, penetrating or top coating. Knowing what to use, where and when to use various sealers will determine the success of the application. Here are also situations where a sealer will have no effect on the serviceability of the surfaces and in some cases may actually harm it.
Regal Floors has extensive training and experience with a variety of products and are Accredited Applicators. We will assess your Stone, Tile or Concrete surface and advise on a suitable solution.

	grinding This is the second stage in securing a flawless surface. This stage will remove all scratches from any de-lipped surface.

	Honing Honing: This is the third and sometimes last stage. At the hone stage, the surface is ~65% scratch free. There are several degrees of hone. All will leave the stone looking clean but aged.

	Polishing Polishing: This is the final stage, which leaves the surface with reflective characteristics.

	sealer Impregnation: This is commonly known as sealers. This is the first stage in preserving and maintaining your investment. This stage should occur ever six to eight months. There are three types of impregnation (solvent, water, silicone based), regardless to brand. This will stop most water base stains from occurring. It also will stop the stone from been damage beyond repair.

	epoxy EPOXY A two part resin with superior adhesion properties used for joining and filling stone. Also used for grouting stone and tile.

	grout GROUT The material used to fill in the joints between stone tile. Grout can be cement or plastic resins.

	limestone LIMESTONE A sedimentary rock composed of calcium carbonate.

	Marble MARBLE: CHARACTERISTICS This standard includes general information on the characteristics and common uses of marble and identifies typical problems associated with the material. INTRODUCTION Marble is an extremely hard, metamorphic stone composed of calcite (CaCO3). It is formed as a result of the recrystallization of limestone under the intense pressure and heat of geologic processes. The effect of this process is the creation of a stone with a very tight crystalline structure and small but definite porosity. Because of its structure, marble can take a very high polish and is a very popular decorative stone for architectural and sculptural uses. The limited porosity of marble, especially polished marble, makes it less vulnerable to the leaching effects of water. Calcium carbonate, however, of which marble is composed, is highly susceptible to attack by acidic agents. Marble is readily dissolved by acids, even very dilute acids, however the actual results of acidic exposure will vary with the nature of the acid. Chlorides, nitrates, sulfates and other chemical compounds react differently with marble and produce various by-products, which have a wide range of solubility and impact on the durability of marble. For this reason, it is always important to determine the exact type of pollutants causing marble deterioration. Marble itself can be of two types, one composed of calcite and the other of dolomite. Dolomitic marble is much more resistant to acid attack than calcite marble. The color of marble ranges from the brilliant white of calcite to black, including blue-gray, red, yellow and green, depending upon the mineral composition. TYPICAL USES Marble has many decorative and structural uses. It is used for outdoor sculpture as well as for sculpture bases; in architecture it is used in exterior walls and veneers, flooring, decorative features, stairways and walkways. The way in which the stone is used may be a factor in limiting or controlling the severity of exposure. The use or function of the marble may also affect the feasibility of applying certain treatments, but type of use is not the primary factor in the major types of deterioration and damage to which marble is susceptible.
