Your concrete Dilemma??? .... Mate, Just whack down a timber floating click lock floating floor ... I've got the German stuff that cost's about $17 SQM :) and it stands up to sand / water & Mud ... No prob's .... If ya do that then you can get on with the fitout :)

Polished floors can be such a PITA when they don't go right ..... :(

In WA, Building permits means get it up to lockup .... No permit required for fitout .... Heck, Councils don't even inspect when it's finished :D

You boys do it tough over there, for "Permits" ..... :angel:

Back to the polishing. Anyone got a ballpark figure per sqm on polishing - I wouldn't mind getting the garage done. (No I don't want floating floor under my landy :D just something a little smoother on the elbows;).)

Sorry but floating floor is the last thing i'd put down (well lino is the last), they just don't look real, if i wanted a timber looking floor i'd have put down a timber floor:).
So thats still not helping my delema:p

Originally it was going to cost me $4,400 to do about 140sqm, but now that i've built a house on the slab, it'll probably cost more:(

personally I use a polymer sealer and polish rather than an epoxy or 2 pot, just for no other reason than you cant fix an epoxy with out sanding or grinding as well as you cant polish or burnish it.
