The Challenge
We faced an unusual challenge in this case in the form of providing a coloured, grinded and polished concrete to expose aggregate for a water feature. This was to be in the restaurant Piazza entertainment area of the Village Mall in Harterbeespoort Dam where the children would need to be able to play in the water.
Our extensive product knowledge led us to specify Lafarge Artevia Grinded Polished Concrete which is a dense, decorative concrete designed for use in almost any environment. This makes it the perfect solution to be used as the floor for water features at shopping centres and restaurants.
The concrete was placed on a no-fines concrete surface bed to allow for water drainage into a catchment tank for recycling.
