Featuring the best concrete finishes in Australia

Concrete is a durable material. It has many advantages, such as being able to withstand harsh weather conditions and adapt to a wide variety of surfaces. Aesthetically it is a very bold choice, popularly used in a variety of design styles in homes and businesses alike. ArchiPro features only the best concrete finishes in Australia from reputable suppliers you can trust. They are an important part of a wider range of high-quality stains and treatments that you will find on ArchiPro.

Types of concrete finishes

Concrete finishes are available in three main types in Australia, each with its own unique traits and qualities.

Honed finish

This is the most common type of exposed aggregate concrete finish. It has a fine-textured surface and is best used for light-coloured concrete.

Polished finish

This is similar to a honed finish, but with more of a shine. It can be used for a polished look or surfaces where you want to highlight the texture.

Buffed finish

This finish has been chemically treated to give it a rough, textured surface. It is suitable for floors that need extra traction or decorative surfaces.

The advantages of high-quality concrete finishes

Concrete finishes are a great way to give your floor the finishing touch it needs. High-quality concrete finishes can help you protect your floor from stains, dirt, grime, and other debris that can damage its appearance and durability. Combining concrete with other high-quality materials such as wood finishes is also an easy way to add some character and personality to your home. The best products are durable enough to withstand the elements without losing their colour or becoming discoloured from exposure to sunlight or water. They can also be used in interior settings to bold effect, a popular choice for many homeowners in Australia.

How to choose a concrete finish that's right for you

If there's one thing that will help you make the right choice, it's knowing exactly what you want out of it and being able to articulate those needs clearly and succinctly. This will allow an experienced professional to make the right recommendation that will meet all your needs and requirements. Think about how often the floor surface sees heavy traffic (like from kids making messes or pets) or how much time it spends exposed to direct sunlight or any other elements. Take note of the size of the space and the specific type of aesthetic you prefer. Having answers to these questions will speed the process up of finding the best solution for your home or business.
