Get the perfect balance of style and practicality with honed concrete, smooth to walk on, slip-resistant, and made to handle WA’s climate. Ideal for outdoor living areas, it delivers a clean, modern finish that lasts.
Perth homeowners like to choose concrete that is stylish, modern, and highly versatile like honed concrete.
The popularity of honed concrete continues to grow, particularly in architecturally designed and award-winning homes. It has become one of the most sought-after decorative finishes for pool surrounds, alfresco areas, indoor flooring, and concrete driveways across Perth. Its clean, contemporary appearance combined with durability makes it a premium alternative to traditional exposed finishes.
As a refined variation of exposed aggregate concrete, this finish offers limitless design possibilities. With a wide range of stone blends, colours, and exposure levels available, you can create a customised surface that perfectly complements your home’s exterior and landscaping.
Honed concrete is created by mechanically grinding an exposed aggregate surface to achieve a smooth, consistent finish. Using specialised diamond grinding tools, the surface is carefully refined until the desired level of stone exposure and smoothness is achieved, producing a premium concrete honed finish.
The result is a sleek, flat surface that showcases the natural stone within the slab, creating a subtle mosaic-like effect. This refined look offers the perfect balance between texture and smoothness.
A honed concrete finish offers: a smooth yet durable surface, modern architectural appeal, customisable stone exposure and incredible long-lasting performance in Perth’s climate. Its versatility and durability also makes honed concrete flooring a popular option for commercial spaces seeking a refined, low-maintenance solution.
For pool areas, the surface can be treated for additional slip resistance, making it both a luxurious and practical choice. When paired with features such as a Seamless Concrete PoolEdge, it delivers a high-end architectural finish.
Honed concrete typically refers to an outdoor finish with exposed stone and slips resistance, while honed polished concrete is usually smoother and more refined, often used for internal flooring. The level of grinding and sealing determines the final look and application. Contact our friendly experts to learn more.
Honed concrete can be treated with slip-resistant sealers, making it suitable for pool surrounds and outdoor entertaining areas. This makes honed aggregate a safe and practical option for Perth homes.
When installed correctly and properly sealed, honed concrete can last 20+ years. Regular cleaning and resealing will help maintain its appearance and performance.
The addition of internal honed concrete floors is becoming increasingly popular amongst first time home builders and renovators. It is an affordable option as well, as you can utilise your house slab that is being or has been poured already.
With the many colour and style options of aggregate available, commercial properties have the option to create a look with concrete surfaces that are sophisticated and suit the building's overall aesthetic.
Still on the fence if concrete honing is the right choice for your new home or renovation? Have a look at the many benefits of installing honed concrete around your property:
When installed correctly and maintained, honed concrete can have a lifetime of up to 50 years. Making sure it does maintain its longevity does mean minimal upkeep such as retreatment of the application every 5-7 years and making sure that it is mopped and cleaned on occasion. Enjoy your honed concrete surface for many years to come.
No need to spend your weekends pressure washing and maintaining your application. Honed concrete can be maintained simply with the occasional mopping and cleaning products.
We’re not just saying that! When you choose honed concrete for your project, you can look forward to the shapes and colours of your application being more distinct and noticeable compared to other concrete finishes. Its clean, glossy look can transform a once boring space in your home into a stylish, luxurious space that everyone will want to enjoy.
Whilst honed concrete is designed to have a smooth finish, we add an additive to the sealing process to create a non-slip finish, preventing unwanted falls and making it the perfect option for pool decks and other outdoor spaces.
