Honed Concrete

'At Northside Floor Coatings, we specialise in providing premium honed concrete finishes that perfectly combine durability, functionality, and elegance for outdoor spaces. Honed concrete is a popular choice for flat external areas such as driveways, footpaths, patios, porches, and pool surrounds, offering a stylish, low-maintenance alternative to traditional paving solutions.

What Is Honed Concrete?

Honed concrete is a specialised finish achieved by grinding the surface of the concrete to create a smooth and refined surface, followed by the application of a penetrating sealer. This process highlights the natural beauty of the concrete while delivering non darkening matte, stone-like finish that is slip-resistant, durable, and perfect for outdoor applications.The penetrating sealer used in honed concrete absorbs into the surface rather than sitting on top, ensuring enhanced longevity and greater resistance to wear and tear. The result is a robust, low-sheen finish that withstands heavy use and harsh weather conditions, making it an excellent choice for outdoor environments.

Honed concrete is designed to endure heavy foot traffic, vehicle loads, and exposure to the elements. The penetrating sealer protects the surface, preventing scratches, stains, and wear. With proper care, a honed concrete floor can last over 20 years, making it a cost-effective investment.

2. Slip Resistance
for Safety Thanks to its matte finish and optional non-slip treatments, honed concrete provides excellent grip, even in wet conditions. This makes it a perfect choice for pool surrounds, driveways, and other outdoor areas where safety is paramount.

3. Low Maintenance
Honed concrete is easy to clean and doesn’t require harsh chemicals or frequent sealing. A simple sweep or wash with water is all that’s needed to maintain its appearance, making it an effortless choice for busy homeowners or businesses.

4. longevity
