The team from Myfloor have commenced the polishing of the concrete slab and the blocklayers have completed the various block walls in the project. The polishing is a slow process starting with a 40 grit rind and gardually getting finer to finish with 3000 grit and a mirror finish. During the polishing process a hardener is applied to the slab - this will increase its strength to approximately 64mPa.
Polishing of the slab should be finished by Tuesday and the carpenters are then scheduled to erect the timber frames. The trick now is to ensure the various trades exercise care with the finished surface of the concrete slab.
