Premium Honed Concrete in Gold Coast

Honed concrete is a smooth, refined concrete surface created by grinding the slab to reveal the natural stone within the concrete. This process produces a matte to low-sheen finish that offers a clean, modern appearance without the high gloss of polished concrete. The honed finish highlights the decorative aggregate while remaining comfortable underfoot and easy to maintain, making it a popular flooring choice for homes and businesses across the Gold Coast.

At Flaked Floor Coatings, we install honed concrete finishes that combine durability with modern design. This type of flooring is highly versatile and can be used in many areas around a property, including driveways, patios, alfresco spaces, pathways, and outdoor entertaining areas. Many Gold Coast homeowners also choose honed concrete for pool surrounds, as the exposed aggregate surface provides excellent grip and long-lasting performance in outdoor environments.

Styles of Honed Concrete

First impressions matter, which is why your spaces should reflect the style and character of your home. Well-designed concrete finishes can transform areas such as patios, pool surrounds, and entertaining spaces into attractive and functional environments.

If you’re considering honed concrete for your outdoor areas, choosing the right style, colour, and level of aggregate exposure is an important part of the design process. The right combination can completely enhance the look of your space, creating a modern and inviting area you can enjoy for many years.

Our team offers different honed concrete finish options, including customisable designs for pool surrounds and outdoor areas, allowing you to achieve a look that suits your property and personal style.

Architectural / Industrial Exposure

This finish is achieved by lightly grinding the concrete surface to subtly expose the aggregate beneath the slab. It is a popular choice for modern homes looking to achieve a clean, seamless, and contemporary appearance. Rather than heavily exposing the stone within the concrete, this style focuses more on the colour and texture of the concrete surface itself, creating a refined architectural look that complements modern design styles.

Full Stone Exposure

Full stone exposure is an excellent option for those who want their concrete floor to stand out. This finish is achieved by grinding the concrete surface deeper to fully reveal the natural stones within the slab. By selecting different concrete and stone mixes, you can customise the final look to suit the style of your outdoor space. In many homes, this finish also creates a seamless visual connection between external honed concrete areas and internal polished concrete floors.

Pool Surrounds

Honed concrete pool surrounds can transform your pool area into a standout feature of your outdoor space. Our team works closely with pool builders and concreters to create a seamless finish around your pool, delivering a clean and modern look. We can also hone the concrete edges around the pool, which often removes the need for traditional bullnose pavers while maintaining a smooth, refined finish.

Benefits of Honed Concrete

Honed concrete offers an excellent balance of safety, durability, and modern design, making it a popular flooring choice for homes and businesses across the Gold Coast.

Clean, Modern Appearance - Honed concrete creates a refined and contemporary look by revealing the natural stone within the slab. This finish works beautifully in driveways, alfresco areas, pathways, and modern outdoor spaces, complementing many architectural styles.

Strong and Long Lasting - The grinding and honing process creates a dense and durable concrete surface that performs well in high-traffic areas. Honed concrete stands up to daily wear, outdoor conditions, and vehicle traffic, making it ideal for driveways, pathways, and outdoor living areas.

Low Maintenance - One of the biggest advantages of honed concrete is how easy it is to maintain. With regular cleaning and occasional resealing, the surface can maintain its appearance and performance for many years.

Ideal for Pool Surrounds and Outdoor Areas - The exposed aggregate surface provides natural texture and grip, making honed concrete a great option for pool surrounds, patios, and outdoor entertaining areas. This slip-resistant finish helps improve safety in areas that may frequently become wet.

Our Honed Concrete Process

Our proven concrete honing process ensures consistent results and long-lasting performance for projects throughout Gold Coast.

We begin by grinding the concrete using specialised diamond tooling to expose the decorative aggregate within the slab. This step creates a smooth, level surface and achieves the desired level of stone exposure.

Once grinding is complete, the concrete is thoroughly cleaned to remove dust and debris. This ensures the surface is properly prepared for the next stage of the process.

A high-quality sealer is then applied to protect the concrete, enhance the natural colour of the aggregate, and complete the honed concrete finish. This helps improve durability while maintaining the appearance of the surface for years to come.

Questions? We Got Answers

How long does honed concrete last?

When installed correctly and properly sealed, honed concrete can last 20+ years. Regular cleaning and resealing will help maintain its appearance and performance.

Is honed concrete slippery?

Honed concrete can be treated with slip-resistant sealers, making it suitable for pool surrounds and outdoor entertaining areas. This makes honed aggregate a safe and practical option for Gold Coast homes.

What is the difference between honed concrete and honed polished concrete?

Honed concrete typically refers to an outdoor finish with exposed stone and slips resistance, while honed polished concrete is usually smoother and more refined, often used for internal flooring. The level of grinding and sealing determines the final look and application.

Can I have the same polished concrete flow from inside my home to my external areas?

Yes! You can achieve a seamless look from the indoor applications to the outside of your property with a blemish free honed surface. Create an uninterrupted and expansive feel in your home by utilising the same concrete flow both internally and externally. Providing the two surfaces are level, homeowners are granted greater flexibility and functionality as this allows for recessed sliding door tracks, which not only improves visual aesthetics of the home, but also eliminates trip hazards.

I currently have an external aggregate application on my property, is it possible to do an external hone on the existing concrete floor?

In most cases yes! Honing existing washed aggregate is a great way to take your tired looking concrete surfaces and give them a new, stylish appearance.However, before our team can get to work, we will need to inspect the slab to make sure that its current condition is stable enough for the honing process.
In the rare case that the slab is too damaged or unstable, a new decorative concrete slab may be required. Our team will assess the surface and provide honest advice on the best solution for your space.

Can a Honed Concrete Slab Be Repaired If It Becomes Damaged or Cracked?

Yes. If a stone becomes dislodged from the surface or a crack develops in the concrete, repairs can usually be carried out to restore the floor.If you notice signs of damage or general wear, it’s best to address the issue early. Fixing small problems sooner can help prevent further deterioration, saving time, money, and unnecessary stress in the future. Repairing honed concrete also helps maintain both the appearance and safety of your flooring.

How Should You Clean Honed Concrete Surfaces?

One of the great advantages of honed concrete, aside from its modern appearance, is that it is very low maintenance. In most cases, regular sweeping and an occasional rinse with a hose is enough to keep the surface clean and looking its best.If your honed concrete needs a deeper clean, our team can provide helpful advice and simple cleaning tips to refresh the surface and maintain its long-term appearance.
