Concrete Finish - Townsville

Different concrete fishes are available, but how do you choose the right one?
Consider the following factors:
1. The climate in your area – If you live in an area with harsh weather conditions, you will need a finish that can withstand the elements.
2. The purpose of the concrete – If you are using concrete for a patio or walkway, you will need a slip-resistant finish.
3. The look you want to achieve – Do you want a natural look or something more decorative?
4. The type of project you are working on – A commercial project will have different requirements than a residential project.
5. Your budget – Some finishes are more expensive than others.

I. Broom finish – This is the most common type of finish and is achieved by using a broom to texturize the surface of the concrete.
II. Slate finish – This type of finish is achieved by using a machine to create a textured surface that resembles slate.
III. Stamped concrete – This type of finish is achieved by stamping a pattern into the surface of the concrete.
IV. Stained concrete – This type of finish is achieved by staining the concrete with various colours.
V. Polished concrete – This type of finish is achieved by polishing the surface of the concrete to create a shiny, smooth surface.

Installing a concrete finish will largely depend on the type of finish you are looking to achieve. Below is a general overview of what you will need to do to install a concrete finish in your home:
– Gather the necessary tools and materials.
– Prepare the surface of the concrete.
– Apply the finish to the concrete.
– Allow the finish to cure.
Some essential tools to have include; a trowel, a float, a sponge, a brush and a power washer. In addition to these tools, you will also need the finish itself (which can be purchased from most hardware stores) as well as some sealer. Applying a sealer is not always necessary but will help prolong the finish’s life.
