Why Consider Polished Concrete?
Polished concrete floors (HTC SuperfloorTM) are one of the most durable, easily maintained, natural and versatile floors in the world. The naturally beautiful surface is a popular choice for domestic, commercial & industrial projects.
The polished concrete floor can also be retro-polished on an older good quality type floor. In some cases, concrete floor repair may be required prior to commencing the polished concrete process. Cutsue Ltd is able to offer a number of finishes for your HTC Superfloor.
When a concrete floor is poured, the stone aggregate settles below the surface leaving mainly cement at the upper surface. The HTC Superfloor process entails mechanically enhancing a newly cast or existing concrete floor. The concrete is ground step-by-step according to a well-defined process for achieving the desired characteristics.
Which HTC SuperfloorTM surface finish is right for you?
Polished concrete floors (HTC SuperfloorTM) are available in 4 different surface finishes and degrees of stone aggregate exposure. It’s the grinding depth and number of polishing steps that differentiate the finishes.
HTC SuperfloorTM Bronze: Bronze is the simplest HTC SuperfloorTM. The aggregate is not visible. This produces a smooth and gloss surface with some-what lower resistance to wear.
HTC SuperfloorTM Silver: Silver is a less glossy variant of an exposed aggregate finish. However, the polishing steps are fewer. It thus provides a matt but strong floor.
HTC SuperfloorTM Gold: Gold entails that the floor is not ground as deep as with platinum. However, the floor is polished to the same gloss.
HTC SuperfloorTM Platinum: Platinum is the best of the best. The floor is repeatedly ground and polished giving a smoother, more even floor with more aggregate exposure, high gloss and unmatched resistance to wear. Platinum is the most popular surface finish and is a good choice for most applications.

What is Slip Resistance Testing?
Slip Resistance Testing is carried out using the Pendulum Tester method. The Pendulum Tester measures the slip resistance of a floor surface by replicating the interaction between a moving pedestrian heel and a static surface. The amount of friction is given a pendulum test value indicating either a low, moderate or high slip potential based on the Pendulum Test Value (PTV) value noted.
