What we walked into

A stripped office unit behind a full-height glazed shopfront, with the slab bare and the saw-cut control joints running across it.

What we did

Ground and polished the slab straight through. With the storefront glazing on one side, the finish had to work in strong daylight, which shows up far more than artificial light does.

What made it difficult

Daylight is the toughest test of a polished floor. Low sun coming through a glazed front rakes across the surface and shows any swirl or unevenness that would never appear under ceiling lights.

The result

An even floor that holds up in direct daylight, with the joints reading as clean straight lines across the space.
