Natural Floors and Polishing

When correctly specified, insulated polished floors and natural thermal screeds provide unrivalled durability, sustainability, and energy efficiency. By significantly reducing heating costs and improving thermal mass, these solutions ensure superior comfort for a building’s occupants.

ECS offers a range of meticulously formulated natural screeds, including limecrete, hempcrete, and corkcrete. Each product provides a distinct texture and aesthetic, and we are committed to continuous innovation to meet the evolving requirements of our clients.

Whether you are a homeowner aiming to upgrade your property’s insulation or a developer striving for a high-performance, energy-efficient build, our natural screeds offer a bespoke solution. Every product in our range is of exceptional quality, with varying levels of durability to suit specific applications.

  • Corkcrete: Delivers a warm, tactile finish that adds unique character to any interior. It is remarkably hard-wearing, provided it is correctly sealed.

  • Limecrete & Hempcrete: Our bespoke blends offer a similar aesthetic and can be polished to a high standard. We can also incorporate slate granules or other mineral aggregates to achieve a specific decorative effect.

While mechanical polishing of concrete and natural stone is not one of our primary services, we can undertake it for high-profile, specialist projects. Please note, however, that the costs associated with this process often remain prohibitive for standard residential or commercial budgets, especially when adding high-end mineral aggregates.
