COLOURED CONCRETE
Coloured concrete comes in a variety of finishes for you to choose from including, broom finished, cove finished and machine finished.
SEALED CONCRETE
A sealer is applied to the concrete once it has dried. This provides a protective barrier on the surface of the concrete that assists in the resistance of stains and build up of dirt. This gives the concrete a high gloss finish.
STENCILLED PATTERN CONCRETE
Stencil Pattern Concrete is a cement based colour hardener, which when applied to concrete gives the appearance of rustic bricks, pavers, stones, tiles and other similar type finishes. It comes in a variety of colours and texture grade.
STAMPED PATTERN CONCRETE
Stamped concrete is concrete that is patterned and/or textured or embossed to resemble brick, slate, flagstone, stone, tile, wood, and various other patterns and textures.
POLISHED CONCRETE
Polished concrete is used to describe a variety of decorative concrete flooring options that leave the concrete surface exposed as the final floor finish. The floor surface is left with or without aggregate exposure, until the desired level of a glossy finish is achieved. Special aggregates are usually chosen to give a polished stone appearance. Aggregate colours, types (round or crushed), sizes, mineral-content, etc. can all be selected and blended to produce a variety of finishes that is desired.
EXPOSED AGGREGATE
An exposed-aggregate surface is obtained by placing concrete and then removing the outer ‘skin’ of cement paste to uncover a decorative coarse aggregate (either batched into the concrete mix or seeded onto the surface). It is durable, skid resistant and has a lovely aesthetic appearance.
DECORATIVE CONTROL JOINT CUTS
Once concrete is finished a diamond or square decorative cut can be applied giving the look of a large tile finish.
