Types of Concrete Finishes and Colors

Stamped Finish

Stamped concrete finishes are an excellent choice for those who want to combine durability and aesthetics. They allow you to replicate the look of high-end materials like stone, brick, or slate, while offering the strength and longevity of concrete.

Broom Finish

Broom finishing is a very popular method for finishing exterior concrete surfaces, as it combines safety, durability, and aesthetics. It involves using a specialized broom on fresh concrete to create a uniform, non-slip texture, thus reducing the risk of slipping, even in wet conditions.

This finish is ideal for driveways, sidewalks, patios, decks, and pool surrounds. In addition to offering excellent grip, the broom finish provides good resistance to weathering, freezing, and thawing, making it a reliable and durable choice for Quebec's climate. Carefully applied by our team, it ensures a straight, clean, and long-lasting result.

Mechanical Finish

Mechanical finishing with a machine is ideal for achieving a smooth, uniform, and durable concrete surface. Performed using specialized equipment, it allows for precise leveling and a consistent finish, perfect for slabs, garage floors, basements, and commercial spaces.

This method ensures excellent wear resistance and a clean finish, ready for use or further coating. Reliable and efficient, machine finishing delivers a professional result that combines performance, strength, and durability.

Hand-troweled finish

The hand-troweled finish provides a smooth, dense, and neat concrete surface, achieved with precision and expertise. Applied manually using trowels, this technique allows for optimal control of the finish, ensuring a uniform and elegant surface.

Ideal for interior slabs, garages, basements, and certain protected exterior surfaces, a hand-troweled finish enhances the concrete's resistance to wear and facilitates maintenance. This type of finish highlights the quality of the craftsmanship and is perfectly suited to projects where aesthetics and durability are paramount.

AGGREGATE

Exposed aggregate concrete is known for its durability, natural appearance, and anti-slip properties. By highlighting the stones on the surface of the concrete, it offers a strong and safe texture.
In addition to its robustness, exposed aggregate provides a unique aesthetic touch, with a wide choice of colors and stone types. Easy to maintain and designed to withstand the elements, this finish is an excellent investment for concrete that is beautiful, strong, and durable.

Fish scale finish (non-slip)

The fish scale finish is ideal for those seeking concrete that is safe, durable, and aesthetically pleasing. Its non-slip texture significantly reduces the risk of slips, even in wet weather or winter, making it an excellent choice for stairs, walkways, entrances, and pool surrounds.
