Concrete Finishing Excellence with Spence Canadian Concrete:
1. Floating: Purpose: Floating is an initial step performed while the concrete is still wet. It involves compacting and leveling the surface to remove imperfections and achieve a smoother finish. Spence Canadian Concrete's Expertise: Our skilled team employs floats made of wood, magnesium, or aluminum to meticulously smooth the surface, ensuring a flawless foundation for subsequent finishing steps.
2. Edging: Purpose: Edging creates a beveled or rounded edge along the perimeter of the concrete surface, enhancing appearance, preventing chipping, and promoting water drainage. Spence Canadian Concrete's Expertise: Recognizing the importance of both aesthetics and functionality, we use edging tools with curved or straight edges, often made of steel, to achieve precision in creating defined edges.
3. Brooming or Troweling: Purpose: Brooming or troweling is done to achieve a specific texture on the surface, providing traction, reducing slipperiness, and contributing to aesthetic appeal. Spence Canadian Concrete's Expertise: Our team adeptly uses brooms or trowels, selecting the appropriate tool based on project requirements, ensuring a tailored and professional texture.
4. Stamping (Optional): Purpose: In decorative applications, stamping replicates the appearance of materials like brick, stone, or tile, adding visual interest to the surface. Spence Canadian Concrete's Expertise: Should you opt for stamped concrete, our skilled professionals use various stamps with patterns and textures, pressed into the concrete during its plastic or semi-plastic state, creating a unique and visually appealing finish.
5. Sealing (Optional): Purpose: Sealing is an optional step that provides protection against stains, moisture penetration, and enhances overall durability. Spence Canadian Concrete's Expertise: Our application of sealants, whether clear or colored, is performed with precision after the concrete has cured. This optional step ensures a resilient finish that stands the test of time.
Each step in the concrete finishing process at Spence Canadian Concrete is executed with a keen focus on detail, ensuring that the final product not only meets but exceeds the highest standards of excellence. The choice of techniques is tailored to the specific project requirements, reflecting our commitment to delivering a customized and professional finish.
