Preconstruction/ Pre-Placement Resources
The final look of concrete slab flooring relies on the work done by architects, general contractors, and placement professionals prior to any grinding or polishing. Provide your placement contractor and finishers with the information they need to provide the best slab for polishing or other concrete floor options. From pouring, to placement, to mix design, an optimal finish begins with the best foundation.
