Honed Concrete

Transitions Polishing and Grinding honed concrete is the perfect way to take your floors outside!

Why stop there? Benches, tables, wet bars, pool coping and grills can also be practical and look great.

Honed concrete is created using the same initial steps of grinding and honing as polished concrete. However, the surface is not refined to the leve of polished floors and it is cirtical to consider the required slip ratings on external decorative finishes.

Transitions Polishing and Grinding typically finish honed concrete to 60-120 grit, which has achieved a slip rating of R11 or higher.

When choosing your sealing method you should consider the following:

The penetrative sealers are our preferred method of sealing. They are extremely UV stable, easily maintained and enables an excellent slip rating to be achieved.

Water or solvent based you can choose between the natural look or use impregnated sealers that intensify the colours in the concrete.

Surface coatings typically acrylic, urethane or epoxy coatings; provide excellent resistance to staining and are aesthetically pleasing. Non-slip granules can be seeded into the surface coating to achieve acceptable slip ratings.
