How much does professional polished concrete cost in Wollongong?
Mechanically Polished Concrete (MPC) prices across the Wollongong and Illawarra regions generally range from $60 to $160+ per square meter. The ultimate cost depends entirely on the size of your total floor space, desired level of aggregate stone exposure (such as salt-and-pepper or heavy exposure), and the raw condition of your existing concrete slab.
What is the difference between MPC and a standard Grind and Seal?
A concrete Grind and Seal is a cost-effective method where a clear polyurethane or acrylic topcoat is applied over a smoothly ground slab. True Mechanically Polished Concrete (MPC) is a premium, multi-step mechanical refinement process where the concrete surface itself is chemically hardened and diamond-polished to a mirror finish, meaning there is no topical clear coat that will ever peel or wear away over time.
Is polished concrete slippery for internal residential spaces?
No. While it looks highly reflective like smooth glass, dry mechanically polished concrete provides exceptional natural traction and slip resistance that meets standard Australian safety criteria. It is completely safe for high-traffic corridors, retail shop fit-outs, and everyday residential living environments.
How do I maintain my newly polished concrete floors?
Polished concrete is incredibly low-maintenance and hygienic. Because the surface contains zero fibres or porous grout lines to trap dust, pollen, or stains, all you need to do is a quick daily sweep and a weekly damp mop using clean water and a pH-neutral concrete floor cleaner to keep the gloss immaculate.
