Rubbed finish
This type of finish is obtained by scrubbing or brushing the concrete surface with fiber or wire brushes and water to remove the surface film or mortar leaving the coarse aggregate exposed.
Brushed Finish
Concrete surfaces may be finished by tooling by any of the methods employed for dressing or finishing natural stone.
Tooled finish
Very much the same appearance as that obtained by brushing the concrete while its still green. Produces granulated finish similar to sandstone but not uniform.
Sand Blast Finish
Color is obtained through this finish and not adding coloring material to the mixture. Facing mortar of 1 part Portland cement, 1 1/2 parts sand and 3 parts of special screenings or pebbles of desired color
Exposed Aggregate Finish
The concrete aggregate is forced below the surface, the surface is then leveled with a straight wood screed and while the concrete is not firmly set, it is given a float finish with straight flat wood.
Wood float finish
After the concrete aggregate is forced below the surface, the surface is then leveled with a straight wood screed and given a wood float finish. Before it finally sets, the entire surface is steel trowelled.
Steel trowelled finish
