A Finish That Is Functional and Attractive
Creating a Broom Finish
Achieving a broom finish on concrete involves sweeping a broom of varying stiffness over the surface as it sets. This technique produces a functional and visually appealing texture.
Types of Broom Bristles
- Light Textures: Polypropylene and horsehair bristles create subtle, light textures.
- Medium to Coarse Textures: Polyfibre bristles are ideal for medium and coarse finishes.
- Long Distance Texturing: Soft plastic bristles, designed for long distances, prevent mortar drag and bristle clogging.
While straight patterns are the norm, broom finishes can also include curved lines, wavy patterns, and sawtooth designs. Additionally, a broomed finish enhances slip and skid resistance, making it perfect for driveways and pathways.
Stipple Finished Concrete
A stipple finish involves lightly tapping the surface of the wet concrete with a textured roller or trowel, creating a unique stippled effect. This finish enhances the aesthetic appeal and provides a subtle texture, ideal for decorative surfaces and improving grip in areas such as walkways and pool surrounds.
Benefits of a Stipple Finish
- Enhanced Grip: The stippled texture provides excellent slip resistance.
- Unique Appearance: Stipple finishes offer a distinct look, adding character to any concrete surface.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for both residential and commercial projects.
