Retail Flooring

Floors − we spend our lives walking, sitting, laying, working, sleeping and dancing on them − and they are all supported by concrete.

Concrete is composed of pure natural materials and forms the basis of virtually all the floors that we use every day of our lives. For the last 2000 years we have used every product man could manufacture to cover up this beautiful surface.

That is until those lovely boffins at HTC discovered just what they could do with their grinding machines and a big tub full of diamonds.

The Future is Coming ...

The day will come when your customers arrive at the store entrance, collect their provisions unit and, as they cross the threshold, step on to a platform as their provisions unit floats 2mm above floor level on a magnetic field. With the gentlest push, much like a child’s scooter, the provisions unit glides across the polished floor, adding yet another dimension to the excitement of visiting their chosen retailer.

So, does it not make sense that when you install or replace your retail flooring, you future-proof your business now by choosing a polished concrete floor?

Cost Effective

A polished concrete floor is the most cost-effective application for a finished floor surface.

Perfect for high footfall areas

Warehouses, workshops, factories, research areas, food preparation, retail zones and public spaces.

Aesthetically Beautiful

We offer bespoke designs using multi-coloured patterns or by adding glass or steel ball bearings.

Choose your style

Water-based colour stains can enhance the floor even further. Brand names and logos are also an option to consider if required.

Long Lasting

More resistant to wear and traffic than any other floor, which, if well maintained, will last the lifetime of the building.

Reduce ongoing costs

Light reflective finish, which can reduce energy costs and enhance the quality of light in a working environment.

Why Choose Us

Our entire ethos at Polished Concrete Designs is based upon delivering a service that incorporates both our own and our clients’ aspirations for design quality and, through our robust management systems, we constantly create best value.
Our system enjoys one of the lowest embodied carbon (CO2) footprints available for a finished floor, and we are currently undergoing evaluation in our aim to further reduce our carbon rating.
We also actively promote the use of alternative compounds to cement in concrete, which can realise a reduction in CO2 by up to 48%.
Factor in the lifespan and the truly beautiful finishes that can be achieved, and it’s hard to understand why we have wasted and continue to waste so much money hiding such a natural, ecologically superior product.
Whatever the scale of your requirements, our commitment to being the best remains the same. If you would like a sample test panel to see just how a Polished Concrete Designs HTC Superfloor™ can transform your concrete, please contact us.
