1450 m2 COMPLETED IN 7 DAYS

FULL SHOT OF BLACK OXIDE

This floor in Duvauchelles had a full shot of black oxide in it. A salt & pepper grind was applied to lighten it up a little and then we undertook a full high spec polish to 1500 grit. 

FIXING DYI EFFORTS

The owner of this floor had a go at it himself (it's the Kiwi way) but made a bit of a mess of it. ABCG did a regrind and seal and the owner was happy with the result. 

BLACK OXIDE SHOT WITH TOP POLISH

This split level residence had underfloor heating and a half shot of black oxide in the concrete. Only the top was polished giving a marble effect. 

EXPOSED AGGREGATE IN RESIDENTIAL HOME

CASHMERE KITCHEN

JULY 2018

For this particular project our clients wanted their kitchen floor to match their newly installed polished concrete bench top. Originally the floor looked tired and dirty, ABCG did a full depth grind on the floor to expose the aggregate, we then polished it to 3000 grit for a smooth, shinny finish. Upon completion the kitchen looked completely transformed, and the space was left looking modern and fresh.

LOBSTER INN RESTAURANT & BAR KAIKOURA

April 2018

The original sealer at the main entrance of this restaurant had worn off completely, leaving the concrete looking old and dirty. ABCG ground the concrete to a scratch free, clean service and sealed it with a penetrating sealer, leaving the entrance way looking brand new again.

GOVERNORS BAY RESIDENTIAL RENOVATION

January 2018

This property was originally carpeted through out, but with heavy rain flooding the residence every winter, the owners wanted to find a more sustainable flooring solution. ABCG removed the carpet, ground the concrete down to expose the underlying aggregate, then applied a resene water based wax sealer, giving the floor a natural light emitting finish.

For this project the client moved their reception counter. The stain left where the counter previously sat was significantly reduced by grinding the concrete and the existing polished concrete floor was then re-polished and sealed.
