Honing gives concrete a smooth matt finish by grinding the concrete surface and exposing the aggregates.
WHAT IS HONED CONCRETE?
Honed Concrete is an external flooring product that has the look and feel of a contemporary designer floor, is versatile in its design and has the functionality of a hard wearing, long lasting floor. Impressive Concrete’s Honed Concrete is also slip resistant and can withstand the harsh Australian climate, whilst maintaining its colour and stylish feel.
Honed Concrete can be installed on either a new or existing slab of concrete and is ideal for both residential, industrial and commercial projects. It is commonly used in the home around pools, on pathways, driveways and in outdoor entertainment areas. In the commercial environment, Honed Concrete is suitable for all public access areas, including walkways, staircase, bathrooms and foyer areas.
Honed Concrete is created by cutting back the surface of the concrete to the desired level and refining the surface of the concrete, using progressively finer grades of abrasives. The surface is not as refined to the level of polished floors and it is critical to consider the required slip ratings on external decorative finishes.
Impressive Concrete typically finish honed concrete to 60-120 grit, which has achieved a slip rating of R11 or higher.
