Honed Concrete Floor

____________

Imagine having a smooth, matte surface for your driveways, footpaths, and pool areas that not only looks great but lasts a long time. That’s what honed concrete offers! Its unique penetrating sealer soaks into the concrete, preventing stains and increasing durability since there’s nothing on the surface to scratch or wear away over time.

 

Where You Can Use Honed Concrete

Residential Spaces
Floors, countertops, patios, and walkways can all benefit from the clean, contemporary aesthetic of honed concrete.

Commercial Spaces
It’s a favourite in retail, restaurants, and office settings because it’s stylish and durable.

Outdoor Areas
Ideal for driveways, pathways, and pool decks thanks to its slip resistance and ability to withstand the elements.

 

What You Need to Know About the Benefits of Honed Concrete

Matte Finish with Protective Sealer
Honed concrete has a durable matte finish with a penetrating sealer that improves look and protects against stains and damage. Optional UV-stable coatings prevent yellowing.

Customisable Stone Exposure
Choose minimal or full stone exposure with a matte finish. Minimal is budget-friendly; full offers a detailed look. More exposure may increase costs.

Optional Grout for Enhanced Surface
Add grout for a smoother surface with minimal exposure finishes. It’s included automatically with full stone exposure for a polished look.

Grind and Seal (An Alternative Option)
For outdoor concrete, consider grind and seal for a semi-gloss or high-gloss look, though honed concrete is usually recommended.

 

Choosing between honed and polished concrete?

If you’re looking for something that’s slip-resistant and has a matte finish, honed concrete is perfect for outdoor spaces and wet areas. On the other hand, if you want a high-gloss, sleek look for your indoor space, polished concrete is the way to go. Both types are durable and look great, but they serve different purposes and match different styles.
