Honed Concrete

A smooth, matte finish that reveals subtle aggregate detail without the high gloss of polished concrete.

About Honed Concrete

Honed concrete is ground to reveal the aggregate beneath the surface, creating a smooth, sophisticated finish without the high-gloss shine of polished concrete. This finish offers the best of both worlds - the visual interest of exposed aggregate with a smoother, more refined texture. Honed concrete is ideal for pool surrounds, outdoor entertaining areas, and driveways where a premium look with better slip resistance is desired.
