Basement Concrete FAQs
Can you polish existing basement concrete?
Yes! We can polish most existing basement slabs. We assess for cracks, moisture, and prior coatings during inspection. Some repairs may be needed before polishing. Older basements often benefit dramatically from professional polishing that reveals the natural concrete beauty.
How do you handle moisture and damp issues?
We use specialised penetrating sealers and breathable topcoats that resist moisture without trapping water. This prevents mould, efflorescence, and staining while maintaining concrete breathability. We also advise on drainage improvements if needed.
Will polished concrete improve basement lighting?
Absolutely. Polished and satin finishes reflect light significantly, brightening even dark basements. This reduces reliance on artificial lighting and creates a more welcoming, spacious-feeling environment.
Does ceiling height matter for basement concrete?
Light-reflective finishes can help lower ceilings feel taller by bouncing light throughout the space. However, we assess each basement individually. Honed (non-reflective) finishes may be preferable in some situations depending on your vision.
What does basement concrete flooring cost?
Basement concrete typically costs $90–$200/m² depending on current condition, moisture levels, and finish type. Moisture remediation or repairs may add to costs. We provide detailed quotes after on-site assessment.
