Different Types of Concrete Finishes
1. Broom Finish: A broom finish is created by dragging a broom across the surface of wet concrete. This finish is textured and slip-resistant, making it a good choice for pool decks, stairs, and other high-traffic areas.
2. Exposed Aggregate Finish: An exposed aggregate finish is created by washing away the top layer of cement paste to reveal the aggregates or stones used to make concrete. This type of finish is popular for its durability and low maintenance requirements.
3. Stamp Finish: A stamp finish is achieved by pressing stamps into wet concrete to create a textured, patterned finish. This type of finish is often used to mimic the look of stone, brick, or tile.
4. Stained Finish: A stained finish is created by applying a stain to the surface of wet concrete and can be used to create a wide range of looks, from natural stone to brightly coloured abstract designs.
5. Polished Finish: It is achieved by grinding and polishing the surface of the concrete to create a smooth, glossy finish. This type of finish is popular in high-traffic areas because it is easy to clean and maintain.

How to Apply a Concrete Finish
i) First, the surface must be prepared. It involves cleaning or etching the concrete so the finish will adhere properly.
ii) Next, a primer or sealer is applied to the surface. This protects the concrete and provides a base for the finish to adhere to.
iii) Once the primer is dry, the concrete finish can be applied. This can be done with a brush, roller, or sprayer.
iv) Finally, the finish is allowed to dry or cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This may take several hours or days, depending on the type of finish used.
Maintenance and Care Tips for Concrete Finishes
Maintenance for a concrete finish is relatively easy. In general, all that is needed is to sweep or vacuum the surface to remove dirt and debris.
For more difficult stains, a mild detergent can be used. However, it is important to avoid harsh cleaners or scrubbers as these can damage the finish.
It is also important to seal concrete finishes on a regular basis.
