polished concrete

Smooth industrial surface

Polished concrete is a flooring finish created by grinding concrete with progressively finer abrasives until it achieves a glossy, mirror-like surface.

Once industrial, it has become popular in modern homes and commercial spaces for its durability and minimalist aesthetic: The loft featured polished concrete floors throughout.
