What is Honed Concrete?
Honed concrete is created by grinding the slab to expose the internal stone, patching imperfections, and sealing it. In our industry, any finish under 400 grit is considered a honed surface. Unlike full mechanical polishing—which polishes the concrete itself up to 800, 1500, or 3000 grit.
The Honing Grit Categories
The specific grit choice completely changes how the surface behaves and where it can be used safely:
- 60 to 100 Grit (Coarse Cut): This is the heavy-duty bracket used for exterior spaces and pool surrounds. It cuts deep enough to expose the decorative stone faces but leaves a microscopic grip on the slab, ensuring certified slip resistance during wet weather.
- 100 to 200 Grit (Medium Cut): This is the sweet spot for high-traffic interior rooms. It removes any rough machine scratch patterns and flattens out leaving it smooth underfoot
- 400 Grit (Fine Satin Cut): This is the absolute limit of the honing stage. It creates a smooth, semi-polished layout with a very low natural matte or satin sheen before any coatings are applied.
Benefits
- Non Slip: Safe for wet outdoor areas, pool surrounds, and driveways.
- Tough Finish: Built to handle heavy foot traffic and daily wear.
- Easy Care: Resists oil, dirt, and water stains so you spend less time cleaning
Outdoor Areas (Paths, Patios, Pools)
- The Grind: the slab down to a 60 grit finish. This leaves enough texture to keep it safe and non-slip in wet weather.
- The Sealer: We apply an impregnating sealer. It sinks deep into the concrete to stop stains from ruining the look, without forming a slippery plastic film on top.
Interior (Lounge, Kitchen, Dining)
- The Grind: We grind the concrete to a smoother 100 or 200 grit finish.
- The Patching: We grout the entire floor to fill in tiny air bubbles and pinholes, making the surface flatter and cleaner.
- The Sealing: We finish the floor with 2 coats of primer and 2 topcoats or an impregnating sealer depending on the look required.
