Polished & honed concrete · Moreton Bay
Polished & honed, ground smooth
Honed and polished concrete across Moreton Bay: seamless honed pool surrounds and alfresco floors outside, polished concrete floors inside. We pour the slab, then grind it back on site until the stone in the mix shows through a smooth, even face.
Honed outside, polished inside
Honing grinds the top of the slab back to a flat, matte face that shows the stone in the mix. It's what we do around pools and under alfresco roofs, where you want something smooth to look at that still sits well underfoot.
Polishing takes the same idea further, inside, until the floor throws the lights back at you. The photos below include a room mid fit-out with the polished floor already down, the bar still being built on top of it.
Seamless pool surrounds
A honed surround is one continuous surface with clean saw-cut joints, rather than separate pavers or coping. The grinder comes out once the concrete has cured, and the strip below is the same pool going from rough slab to finished edge.
The details
A honed step edge with lighting tucked underneath, a surround that follows the curve of a kidney-shaped pool: small things, but they're the ones people notice at night.

Common questions
Good questions,
straight answers
Anything not covered here, call 0418 772 099 and ask.
What's the difference between polished and honed concrete?
Both are ground back with a concrete grinder. Honed stops at a smooth, matte face, which suits pool surrounds and outdoor areas. Polished keeps going to a shine, which suits floors inside.
Can you hone a pool surround after the pool is in?
Yes. The surround is poured around the finished pool shell, left to cure, then honed in place. The photos on this page show a grinder working a surround next to a full pool.
Do you do polished floors inside the house?
Yes. The gallery has a polished concrete floor in a large room that was still being fitted out, which is the best time to do it.
