RuffRock Dura-Floor (RRD) Polished Concrete

Premium

Long-lasting

Eco-friendly

Our patented RuffRock Dura-Floor takes residential polished concrete to the next level by offering a more durable and consistent finish.

Forme’s RRD process involves grinding to achieve your desired exposure level then hardening your concrete followed by a mechanical polish to the required shine. Our process eliminates the need for epoxy or thin film coatings and leaves a floor that can withstand even the toughest traffic.

Durability

Our RRD polished concrete product uses a special hardening/densifying process that increases its durability, making it ideal for residential spaces.

It can withstand the demands of everyday activities, such as foot traffic, moving furniture, and accidental spills and impacts. The hardened surface resists stains, scratches, chips, and wear, ensuring a long-lasting flooring solution.

Longevity

If cared for properly, RRD polished concrete floors should have a lifespan of up to 15+ years before requiring additional upkeep.

Environmentally friendly

Using a densifier/hardener for polished concrete is considered more environmentally friendly compared to epoxy coatings. We use water-based solutions that contain little to no VOCs (volatile organic compounds). Using these solutions is much safer than others. These other solutions may contain hazardous substances which can harm our environment and human health.

Densifiers are effective at creating a barrier against moisture and stains. This makes them a great choice for those who want an eco-friendly option.

Cost-effective in the long term

RRD polished concrete is more expensive than epoxy floor coating at the start. However, it is a better cost-effective solution in the long term. This is because it does not need the same level of maintenance and upkeep that epoxy floor coating does.

With epoxy floor coating, regular re-application and repair may be necessary to keep it looking its best, whereas RRD polished concrete requires minimal maintenance and upkeep.

RRD is a coating-free system providing a finished floor with little ongoing maintenance.

Your floor should be regularly cleaned by vacuuming and cleaning with a low Ph level cleaner with a microfibre mop. The floor should be damp for the shortest possible time. This will leave the floor clean and streak free.

Do not use Bleach or and Citrus Based Cleaners as these may damage the floor.

We recommend Versadet floor cleaner, available from your local Bunnings.

Fit protective pads to chairs & tables.
