HONED CONCRETE
NORTHERN BEACHES, SYDNEY
Honed concrete is the way to go if you’re looking for a low-maintenance, long-lasting option with a modern aesthetic for your home or company. Honed concrete is intended for outdoor use and is considered the interior equal of polished concrete.
Because it can be used on honed concrete pool surrounds as well as a honed concrete driveway, the method is suited for most residences, companies, and public access facilities. On the Northern Beaches, Mason Concreting offers a honing service that gives your concrete a long-lasting but aesthetic surface.
Grind and Seal Concrete
What’s Involved?
The act of removing the top layer of concrete and revealing the aggregate beneath is known as “concrete honing.” After that, a sealer is placed on the surface to make it non-slip. Although the method is comparable to concrete polishing, it is simpler and less expensive.
It has a natural-looking appearance with a low-sheen surface. This finish is ideal for those who desire the modern aesthetic of visible aggregate while walking on a smoother surface.
Mason Concreting on the Northern Beaches can take care of both the concrete installation and the concrete honing in one go. Alternatively, we may hone an existing concrete area to rejuvenate it.
When it comes to choosing a colour for concrete or exposed aggregate, we have a large selection of decorative concrete mixes to choose from. As licensed installers for Geostone by Holcim, we have a variety of beautiful concrete mixes to pick from, including several base colours and stone types.

FAQs.
Concrete honing is a rather simple process. We grind away the top layer of concrete with abrasive pads on machinery to uncover the aggregate beneath. To make the floor more stain and wear resistant, we put on a layer of sealer. If necessary, we also put on some kind of non-slip compound.
This is the question that gets asked the most. In a nutshell, polished concrete is used for interiors while honed concrete is used for exteriors. For honed concrete, the first technique is the same as for polished concrete.
However for polished concrete, things like grouting and densifying are done, as well as buffing and finally polishing, to make the perfect smooth surface and seamless finish.
Rather than hiring two different contractors, we could complete the honing and pour the concrete at the same time. As a result, we are able to provide our clients with quotes that are more affordable.
When compared to other materials that require a concrete blinding slab, such as cobblestones and pavers, the cost per m2 is typically lower. The precise cost of the complete honed concrete finish will be determined upon your choice of concrete mix.
