Polished Concrete Render Finish

Introduction to Polished Concrete Render Finish

Polished Concrete Render Finish is a decorative render finish that must be applied over a base coat render. This decorative finish will look like an off form concrete once dry and can be applied to both internal and external surfaces.

Polished Concrete Render Finishes are growing in popularity due to their uniqueness and ability to transform walls through the usage of render. It is unlike regular render in the fact that the applicator must be experienced in the application as the product is unlike regular render products.
