Our Honed Decorative Concrete Services
Project Concrete works with honed aggregate concrete flooring for residential and commercial applications. We work closely with every client to find the best solution for their property and ensure their vision is brought to life.
What is Honed Concrete
Honed concrete is a type of decorative concrete flooring solution that combines the character of aggregate exposure and the style of mechanically polished concrete.
It uses natural materials in different blends – so you can choose from several colours and designs. Once the concrete surface is worked, sanded, and sealed, you get the unique appearance of the aggregate stones and the smooth finish of polished concrete floors.
The smooth surface finish is aesthetically appealing, easy to maintain, and highly durable. Honed and polished concrete makes an excellent addition to both residential or commercial spaces, thanks to its versatile, customisable design options and resistant finish.
Why Choose a Honed and Polished Concrete Finish?
What can Project Concrete clients expect from our team?
Ultra Versatile
There are many colour options and mixes to consider for your honed concrete floor. You can also choose a matte or shiny finish, subtle or full exposed aggregate, and more and it works well on many both outdoor spaces and indoor applications for residential or commercial properties.
Excellent Durability
Honed concrete is resistant to most extreme weather conditions and heavy foot traffic. You can expect the finishes to last a long time, even in the hot Western Australia climate.
Low Maintenance
The smooth honed concrete surface does not require much maintenance and is very easy to clean. It can be wiped down quickly with minimal product and remains naturally dust-free more than most other types of flooring.
Aesthetic Appeal
Appearance isn’t everything, but it still counts! Once you pick your desired finish (colour, aggregate exposure level, and shine), you have a beautiful and unique floor that will hold its appeal for many years to come.
What Honed Concrete Colours Can You Pick?
Project Concrete works with a range of honed concrete colour mixes to help you customise the installation to suit your tastes and the personality of your property.
Some of the popular options include coral grey, amber grey, black pearl, granite, black ash and white ash- but the complete list is far more extensive! You can browse the various classic and contemporary honed concrete samples before committing to a certain style.
How Does the Honed Concrete Process Work
You may have heard of the initial process of honed concrete referred to as grind and seal concrete – which is a pretty good way to explain how it works.
In short, the concrete is poured and left to set. The initial grinding phase removes the surface to expose the aggregate stone of the concrete mix. Options range from nil exposure to full exposure. Once the desired exposure is achieved, the surface of exposed aggregate, is cleaned and sealed with a topical coating. You can select from matte, satin, or gloss honed concrete floor coating to suite your needs.
The Best Honed Concrete Applications
Few flooring solutions are more versatile, making concrete honing a great choice for a range of projects, including the following:
Honed concrete swimming pool surrounds are very popular in award winning homes due to their slip resistance properties. Having honed concrete around pool edges and the nearby area looks great and is also practical. You can apply special non slip treatments – which is perfect for any pool area or areas likely to be exposed to wet feet.
A honed concrete driveway or walkway looks beautiful. If you are looking for a visually impressive and practical outdoor flooring for your driveways, the benefits of honed concrete is certainly worth consideration. You also have the benefit of this being long-lasting – even with continuous exposure to extreme weather and heavy vehicles. Once installed, you have a stylish and impressive driveway that will not only increase curb appeal, but will hold its quality for years.
Business premises, retail spaces, restaurants, and other commercial spaces are ideal opportunities for honed concrete floors. These highly durable and stain-resistant surfaces are perfect for places with heavy foot traffic and lots going on, and they are easier to keep clean and hygienic.
Choosing flooring for alfresco outdoor areas, can be tricky. It needs to feel suitable for outdoors but must be practical for various uses at the same time. Luckily, honed concrete does it all. Whether you have an outdoor dining area, a modern lounge space, or an open-air entertainment zone, honed concrete could be the perfect flooring solution.
Honed concrete works for any type desired level of indoor flooring but is an especially popular choice for dining areas or connecting an indoor and outdoor space. It makes an instant difference to a room, bringing a new depth of character with subtle visual interest. Residential spaces can benefit from easy cleaning, minimal upkeep, enhanced hygienic qualities, damage and stain resistance, and the stylish appearance of honed concrete.
