Honed

Honed finishes are versatile and can be used in many different ways. The Honed matte finish is likely to be used as precast stair planks / landing and also for the landscaping industry. Whereas the honed satin finish can be used for exterior walls on many types of buildings.

These types of finishes are sealed to protect the concrete and prevent staining (grouting and densifying are optional).

Polished

This is the ‘Rolls Royce’ of all finishes.

Generally used in unique ways to highlight a particular feature, its grouted, densified and sealed to protect the concrete and prevent staining.

Note

Concrete is made from natural raw material, so while we take care to ensure you achieve the desired outcome, expect aggregate and colour variations and imperfections in precast.

Photos and samples are an indication only and can vary in colour, shape and texture, there is no guarantee that your precast project will look exactly like the sample that you have viewed.

Architects and builders, please be aware that minor patching/repairs may be required due to handling, transportation and installation- these are likely to be noticeable.
