If you’re considering a polished concrete floor for your home or business, you may be wondering about the cost. Our polished concrete calculation can help you estimate the total cost of your project, taking into account factors such as the size of the space, the level of polishing desired, and any additional services needed.

Measure the square footage / meterage of the area to be polished.

The first step in calculating the cost of a polished concrete floor is to measure the square footage of the area to be polished which is usally in meter squared (m2). This can be done by multiplying the length and width of the space. For example, if one of your rooms is 4m x 5.5m, the total square meterage would be 22m2. This measurement will be used to determine the amount of materials / labour needed for the project and will be a key factor in determining the overall cost.

Determine the level of polishing desired.

The level of polishing desired is another important factor in calculating the cost of a polished concrete floor. There are different levels of polishing, ranging from a low-gloss matte finish to a high-gloss mirror-like finish. The level of polishing desired will impact the amount of time and materials needed for the project, which will in turn affect the overall cost. It’s important to discuss your desired level of polishing with your contractor to ensure that the final cost aligns with your budget.

Consider any additional services or treatments needed.

When calculating the cost of a polished concrete floor, it’s important to consider any additional services or treatments that may be needed. For example, if the concrete has cracks or other imperfections, it may need to be repaired before polishing can begin. Additionally, some homeowners may want to add decorative elements to their polished concrete floor, such as brass expansion joints or internal steps to be polished. These additional services and treatments will add to the overall cost of the project, so it’s important to discuss them with your contractor and factor them into your budget.
