This concrete is achieved through progressive diamond grinding of a concrete surface. This process can be employed in two different ways. First, it can be used to simply clean and level the surface latency. Or it can be taken further to expose aggregates.
In either case, concrete sealers are then used to protect the surface. These sealers give the concrete its matte, satin or gloss finish, and they can also contain anti-slip additives.
Honing is actually one of the first steps toward creating a fully polished concrete surface. Once the initial concrete mix has been laid, it’s first allowed to set. After this, the grinding process begins, during which the top layer of concrete is removed. Depending upon the type of mix used, this may expose the aggregates in the concrete.
The grinding continues until the desired honed appearance is achieved. At this stage, the surface is power-washed and sealed. Different types of sealants achieve different results – including penetrating sealers, enhancing sealers and acrylic sealers. Our team will work with you to determine which type of sealant is best-suited to your needs and aesthetic preferences.
