Finishing Concrete According to Concrete Contractors KC
Whether you have decided to replace your driveway, pour a brand new patio in your backyard, or finally repair your garage floor, concrete contractors in KC help you decide the best finish for your project. According to The Constructor, “Concrete in its green form can be molded into any shape, size, and finish with the help of different finishing techniques and equipment to give a beautiful and long-lasting surface with a high aesthetic value.” Broom finish, steel trowel and stamped/decorative are the three finishes that you can pick from.
Contractor Applies Broom Finish
“Dragging of a broom on the fresh concrete surfaces creates small ridges that provide for traction control and slip-resistance.” The Contractor
You can apply Broom finish to:
Smooth Steel Trowel
“Hard troweling is a process by which a finisher uses a steel trowel to densify the surface of the concrete. This finish is optional and produces a hard, smooth surface. Repeated passes of steel troweling will result in a burnished finish, which has a mirror-like appearance.” PCA America’s Cement Manufacturer
