Skip Float Finish
Skip float concreting uses a special tool designed to flatten, compact and spread concrete manually - a blade is attached to a long pole and is dragged across the concrete pour whilst it's still wet. The concrete must still be wet in order to provide a final finish, or alternatively, as a precursor to a power float finish for a higher level of flatness.
The process of concrete skip float flooring requires one of our highly skilled and experienced concrete tradesperson to implement. The act of smoothing off and leaving an acceptable tolerance of flatness means that timing and judging of speed and pressure are critical in providing a smooth surface.
