Concrete Finishes and Options
Finishes and Options
Transforming Outdoors, One Pour, Endless Impact
It is easier to pour concrete, but to craft masterpieces out of it, takes time and need commitment. At One and Done, we believe in transforming ordinary concrete into extraordinary works of art. Our advanced techniques ensure superior finishes, long-lasting quality, and an upscale look that sets your outdoor spaces apart.
Stamped Concrete
Where Texture Meets Timelessness
Imagine imprinting the elegance of natural stone, the warmth of brick, or the rustic charm of wood directly onto your concrete surface. We achieve this through carefully selected stamps and color selection, pressed into freshly poured concrete.
Our artisans expertly apply release agents to prevent sticking, ensuring sharp, detailed impressions. The concrete is then cured and sealed, revealing a breathtaking textured surface.
- Unparalleled Versatility:
Replicate the look of high-end materials at a fraction of the cost.
- Enhanced Aesthetics:
Adds depth and character to driveways, patios, walkways, and pool decks.
- Increased Durability:
Sealers create a robust, weather-resistant finish.
- Customization:
A vast array of patterns and colors allows for personalized designs that complement any architectural style
Broomed Concrete
The Classic, Reliable Finish
A timeless and practical finish, broomed concrete provides a textured surface that enhances traction and safety. After the concrete is leveled and floated, a broom is dragged across the surface, creating a series of parallel lines. The degree of texture can be varied by the type of broom and the timing of the process.
- Enhanced Traction:
Ideal for driveways, sidewalks, and areas prone to moisture.
- Cost-Effective:
A simple and economical finishing option.
- Durable and Functional:
Provides a long-lasting, slip-resistant surface.
- Traditional Aesthetic:
Offers a classic, understated look that complements various architectural styles. Great for outdoor use.
Densifier
Fortify Your Concrete from Within
Densifiers are liquid chemical treatments that penetrate the concrete surface, reacting with the free lime to form a hard, insoluble calcium silicate hydrate. This process strengthens the concrete matrix, increasing its density and resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and moisture. Application is simple, and the benefits are long-lasting.
- Increased Hardness:
Enhances the surface strength, making it more resistant to wear and tear.
- Reduced Dusting:
Minimizes the release of concrete dust, creating a cleaner environment.
- Improved Chemical Resistance:
Protects against damage from salts, acids, and other corrosive substances.
- Enhanced Durability:
Extends the lifespan of concrete surfaces.
- Reduced permeability:
Helps prevent water and other liquids from penetrating the concrete.
You Have Options of What Type of Finishing You Prefer
