Question 1

What type of Polished Concrete do you offer?

Accepted Answer

NCRP offers both a MECHANICALLY POLISHED CONCRETE (comparable to the Husqvarna HIPER FLOOR method), and we offer a coating method commonly known as a grind and seal. We also do honed concrete (for exterior), and epoxy flooring.

Question 2

Do you create dust when grinding?

Accepted Answer

Although the process itself does create dust, we utilize high quality dust extractors with HEPA filters and a longopac bagging system that makes for a dustless environment.

Question 3

What are control joints and do I need them?

Accepted Answer

Control joints are meant to help control where the concrete will crack, however, this is not always fool proof, but it is surely the best line of defense. Your concreter will be the one who initially cuts the control joints, so that when we arrive to finish your floor, the control joints can then be prepped by re-honing the edges and fill with POLYUREA. When properly installed, there should only be 2 points of contact so that the product can flex with the slab. Keep in mind this product is not CEMITISOUS ( it is a non concrete/cement product) and comes in a wide range of colours that compliment the many shades concrete comes in; much like a frame is to a picture, it compliments. To minimize visual cuts in pre-pour projects, we recommend in the design stage that the control joints are cut where walls will be.

Question 4

What power do you require for your equipment?

Accepted Answer

Simply put, our power requirements will be based on accessibility to the space, and which equipment will be most suitable to perform the scope of work. NCRP will either provide a detailed outline for an licensed electrician to install, OR we will supply the power requirements in full via mobile power generator.

Question 5

Can you colour match an existing slab if a new one is poured next to it?

Accepted Answer

It is possible for us to dye the concrete using an acetone or water-based dye, however, the colour uptake by these different slabs will not be exactly the same, but this will be the best way to get them looking similar, but not identical.
