Type of floor

[TMeyer]

I went to a customer's house to look at their floor for possible cleaning. The house is a former model and the floor has a cobble stone look. The tiles (for lack of a better word) are approx. 8"x5", like an oversized brick. They are cream in color and dont have any uniformed look to them and have a polished look. I tested with acid and had an immediate reaction. I attempted to scratch the surface to check for a topical, but nothing. The only thing I can think of is that it is a polished colored concrete. Curious to know what it is and what if anything to watch out for.

Hey T, Welcome :)

Is there anyway you can post a picture? Is this a slab on grade residence? Does it look like stamped concrete? The more details you can provide will help us to properly evaluate. ;)

I don't think it's stamped based on the uneveness of each tile. Each are set differently such as some are higher than others and at slightly different angles. They are grouted with approx. 1/4" grout. I will attempt to take a picture when I can. The owners are going to call the design center who installed the models in their development.

Hello TMeyer, Can we have a first name? Sometimes agglomerated materials have a sensitive binding matrix, I suggest that you go into the alkaline surfactant cleaning chemical range, and proceed with caution. Michael of Stonehenge
