Polished concrete floors - thoughts?

[ProjectPete]

In working with the industrial style of a new house I'm planning to build, I'm tryignt o decide on flooring.

I love timber but I also love polished concrete. Does anyone have polished concrete? What are the pros and cons?

I assume there's an issue with the flooring being colder, but how much of a difference does it actally make? Is it worth the look?

Also if you know how much I can expect to pay per sqm it'd be great to know! Or...maybe it's easy enough to do myself

Have to look at only using experienced professionals to do the job. Make sure you get referrals and they have high standards. My brothers dream home was ruined by a cracked floor. Best of everything in that home and a small hairline crack right through the middle of family room destroyed two years of hard work.
