We recently completed a full-surface overlay installation at a luxury residential property in Cheshire, delivering a seamless, design-led polished floor solution using a unique and beautiful pink Sib polishable overlay.

Full-House Overlay Installation – Cheshire

The client sought a refined, modern finish with subtle colour warmth to complement

the property’s high-spec interior. The overlay system was applied throughout the

house, including to a set of prefabricated Sib stairs — offering a continuous, unified

surface from ground floor to upper levels.

Scope of Works:

  • Subfloor preparation across all rooms, including moisture testing and surface grinding where required

  • Installation of 8mm foam perimeter edging strip to allow for thermal and structural movement

  • Priming of the substrate using a compatible bonding agent to ensure optimal adhesion

  • Supply and installation of Pink Sib cement-based polishable overlay at 10–12mm thickness across the entire internal footprint

  • On-site finishing and polishing of prefabricated staircases to match the floor specification

  • Full mechanical polish to a satin finish, revealing subtle movement and natural tone variation

  • Edge detailing, corner finishing, and post-installation sealing for long-term durability

Benefits of a Sib Overlay System:

  • Elegant, warm-toned finish – adds a unique design element to modern residential interiors

  • Ideal for renovation or new builds – provides a consistent finish even over varied substrates

  • Polishable surface – offers the look of polished concrete with more control and colour choice

  • Durable and easy to maintain – ideal for busy family homes or high-footfall living areas

  • Overlay suitable for underfloor heating – excellent thermal conductivity and finish retention

This system delivered a high-end architectural floor with clean lines and soft colour,

fully tailored to the client's vision and built to last.
