Poured concrete flooring adorns your interiors with a continuous, modern and seamless surface. In a living room, kitchen, hallway or throughout a living area, it creates a mineral and contemporary finish that is both sleek and warm. At Clavel Rénovation, we apply poured concrete to new and existing floors alike, often directly over your existing tiles, without demolition or major works.
Technical specifications: approximately 2 mm thick • high resistance to compression and traffic • installation on new substrate or sound existing tiles (stable, adherent, dry) after preparation • textures ranging from smooth to anti-slip.
A seamless, joint-free floor that is 100 % customisable
With neither tiles nor grout, the poured concrete floor visually enlarges the space and makes daily maintenance easier. You choose the shade (concrete grey, taupe, sand, anthracite, etc.) and the finish (matt, satin or waxed) for a unique result that matches your decor. Its thickness of around 2 mm allows it to be laid without raising your floors or doors.
Renovating old floor tiles without removing them
Poured concrete can be laid directly over existing tiling, provided it is stable, adherent and dry. We first treat the joints, level differences and critical points with a suitable preparation system before applying the poured concrete. The result: a continuous floor between rooms, with no removal or disposal of rubble.
Hardwearing, water-resistant and compatible with underfloor heating
Once sealed with a suitable varnish or wax, polished concrete becomes resistant to heavy foot traffic, stains and water. It is therefore just as suitable for living areas as it is for kitchens. An excellent conductor, it is completely compatible with underfloor heating, for optimal comfort all year round.
A controlled installation by a skilled applicator
The success of a poured concrete floor depends on the preparation of the subfloor and the applicator's expertise. We prepare the subfloor, apply the base and finishing coats, and protect the surface to guarantee its durability. Clavel Rénovation ensures the polished concrete installation throughout the Var and the PACA region.
Frequently asked questions about polished concrete flooring
Does poured concrete flooring crack over time?
Like any floor covering, poured concrete can be sensitive to movement in the substrate (shrinkage, structural cracks in the building) if the preparation has not been meticulous. This is why treating critical points and existing cracks prior to application is a key step. L’Agence Qualité Construction documents these soil-related defects well, common to all rigid mineral coverings.
Can you lay a poured concrete floor over old tiles?
Yes, that is even one of the major advantages of poured concrete: it can be applied directly over existing tiles that are stable, adherent and dry, after treating the grouting and any unevenness. This avoids having to remove the tiles and dispose of rubble, making for a faster and cleaner project.
Is poured concrete flooring compatible with underfloor heating?
Yes, polished concrete is perfectly compatible with underfloor heating, whether water-based or electric. Its thin profile (a few millimetres) and mineral nature make it an excellent thermal conductor, provided that the recommendations for a gradual increase in temperature after installation are followed.
What is the daily maintenance for a polished concrete floor?
A simple wash with clean water or a mild soap is enough for daily care. It is best to avoid acidic or highly abrasive products, which can damage the surface protection, and to have periodic re-impregnation carried out in high-traffic areas to preserve the appearance of the floor over the long term.
