A new-build home floor polished to a soft, seamless sheen that reads like natural stone.

The brief

The owners wanted a single, continuous floor through their open-plan living — warm underfoot with hydronic heating, low-maintenance, and quietly luxurious rather than glossy.

The challenge

Balancing a refined satin sheen with the durability of family life meant controlling aggregate exposure precisely and protecting the finish against everyday spills.

Before / After

The process

How it came together.

01

Assess

Confirmed slab condition and agreed a light salt-and-pepper exposure with a satin sheen.

02

Grind

Ground back evenly to reveal a fine, consistent stone read across every room.

03

Refine

Honed through progressively finer grits for depth without a mirror glare.

04

Seal

Penetrating seal for stain resistance while keeping the surface breathable over heating.
