Options and finishes for the renovation of polished concrete
The renovation of polished concrete can be an opportunity to integrate new aesthetic or technical options. These additions allow for the customization of the final appearance and enhance the performance of the surface.
Matte, satin, or glossy finishes
The choice of finish directly influences the ambiance of the room and daily maintenance.
A matte finish provides a contemporary style and softens the light, while a satin or glossy finish enhances the visual effect and brightness.
Texture effects or patina
Decorative effects can be added during renovation to create a unique look.
Patina or layering of shades adds visual depth and reinforces the character of the surface.

For floors exposed to moisture or frequent traffic, an anti-slip treatment can be applied.
This increases safety without altering the aesthetic of polished concrete, especially in bathrooms and entryways.
Regulations for Renovating Polished Concrete in French-speaking Switzerland
Although renovating polished concrete generally does not require a building permit, certain situations impose adherence to specific rules, particularly in co-ownership or in listed buildings.
Interventions in Co-ownership
For work in an apartment or shared space, it may be necessary to obtain the agreement of the management or the syndic.
This mainly concerns renovations involving visible changes or significant noise disturbances.
Safety and Hygiene Standards
The products used must comply with Swiss standards regarding safety and VOC (volatile organic compounds) emissions.
At Avenir Rénovations, we prioritize materials that are health and environmentally friendly.
Work in Old or Protected Buildings
If your property is listed or located in a heritage area, certain finishes or colors may require approval.
A prior check with local authorities is therefore essential.
