Aspects of a good concrete finishing job

Concrete finishing is considered an important phase in concrete work. Some in the industry go as far as calling it an art or a science. A good concrete finishing job focuses on the following key aspects:

1. Site preparation tops the list. A well prepped sub base ensures a durable finish.
2. The process of screeding ensures a flat surface. It allows you to remove any excess concrete and even out the surface.
3. Any low spots left in the process of screeding or any ridges can be filled and levelled by bull floating.
4. Edging ensures the durability of the edges and sides, protecting them against chipping and scaling.
5. Since concrete always cracks after it dries out, it’s important to find pressure points that need to be cut or ‘joint’ to avoid such cracks.
6. Hand troweling, brooming and sealing are also other important aspects in concrete finishing that we specialise in.
