What is Honed Concrete?

Honed concrete refers to a type of concrete flooring or surface that has been ground and polished to achieve a smooth, matte finish. Unlike traditional concrete that has a rough, porous surface, honed concrete is smoother and less porous, giving it a more elegant and refined appearance.

The process of honing concrete involves grinding down the surface with progressively finer grit of diamond abrasives. This removes any roughness, imperfections, and small cracks, resulting in a surface that is flat, smooth and seamless. The final step of the process is polishing the concrete with a fine abrasive to create a glossy, diamond like and reflective finish.
