Burnished Finish
No-Exposure Industrial Look Floors
A Burnished Finish is the ultimate choice for a sleek, modern floor with zero aggregate stone exposure. Unlike other methods, we do not aggressively grind away your concrete’s top layer. Instead, we work entirely with the native surface paste to highlight its raw architectural beauty.
Architectural Burnished Finish Styles
-
- Matt Burnish: A flat, raw industrial look with zero reflection.
- Satin to Semi-Gloss: A clean, smooth sheen catching ambient light.
- High-Gloss: Deep, reflective gloss achieved by high-speed chemical densification.
Critical Requirements & Slab Quality
As we do not grind down the floor, success relies on the original pour:
- Slab Requirement: Requires a flat, machine-trowelled helicopter finish.
- Constraints: Not suitable for slabs with heavy stains, rain damage, or old glue.

Can any slab be burnished?
No. Because we don’t cut deep, the original slab must be flat and undamaged. We recommend other options for rough, uneven concrete.
