# New construction: polished concrete

 Polished gray concrete suits the open layout, brick wall and metal staircase.

 What we did

## Polishing concrete in a new build

 The photo shows how the gray color varies across the slab and how daylight bounces off the floor. The rest of the interior was still being built at the time.

## Planning a similar project?

 Polishing and staining are two different jobs. On a new build, sit down with your builder before the slab is poured and settle both the look and how the floor will be protected.
