Roadstone provide a range of concretes that are suitable for polishing which brings a whole new life to traditional “grey” concrete. Using locally sourced aggregates and sand the highest quality of finish can be achieved via grinding and polishing operations.

FAQS
Are samples available?

Samples are not available through Roadstone, we would suggest speaking to your polisher to see samples

What aggregates are available for use in concrete polishing mixes?

We stock local aggregates that meet the requirements of I.S. EN 12620 and SR 16 at each of our readymix concrete plants. In most of our locations we do not have the capacity to stock alternative aggregates and for health and safety reasons do not allow the addition of aggregates to a readymix truck onsite.

Does concrete polishing meet slip resistance requirements?

The slip resistance of a concrete polishing mix is a function of the actual polishing of the concrete. We would advise speaking to your polisher for further information.
