Concrete is viable in different shapes and sizes. However, its essential components are cement(Portland), aggregate(sand and rock), and water. These constituents are thoroughly mixed together to achieve an oatmeal texture. In recent years, concrete was mainly used for building foundations. However, with the evolution of the construction industry, concrete has diversified. It is used in almost all structures. Concrete is a trusted construction material. Its sturdy foundation proves its efficiency and durability. Concrete can be used in floors, walls, driveways, patios, and walkways. Concrete houses are widely dominating wooden constructed buildings. One of the reasons concrete stands firm is because of its finishing. Concrete finishing affects how well concrete surfaces last. Types of Concrete Finishing Similarly, for concrete to be efficient over time, it must undergo finishing. Below are a few concrete finishing styles. Slick Troweled Finishing Slick trowel is a simple process. A concrete contractor uses a steel hand trowel to cover holes that may harm the concrete. A quick troweled finish is mainly found in basement floors, garage floors, and warehouses floors. It is a perfect finishing for a floor that stands high pressure. Sealing the concrete proportionately deters cracks and breaks. Broom Finishing A concrete broom finishing is similar to a slick troweled finishing because of its components. The surface is closed by pulling a broom across its surface to create a rough and hard textured surface. The process of broom finishing requires more labor and time—the good thing about this finishing is its appealing design. Exposed Aggregate Finishing As the name implies, it contains a different aggregate from the two mentioned above. The aggregate in this finishing is exposed to remove the cement from the paste cement is washed overnight to remove the cement paste. The cement is moved with a soft bristle scrub broom. A retarding chemical is used on the surface of this concrete. This substance should not be left to penetrate the cement but just the surface. After going through different types of surface finishing, the concrete now undergoes styling and designing.
