Brushed concrete is created by dragging the head of a brush over a fresh concrete floor, leaving a pattern of parallel lines. These lines can be of various depths depending on the type and hardness of the bristles used.
Resulting in a rough surface of horizonal grooves, a tamped finish is achieved by compacting the concrete by moving a tamping beam quickly across the surface. It is important to get this process right as it can easily result in an uneven and therefore dangerous surface.
To make power float concrete, a purpose-built machine uses rotating blades to buff the surface of the concrete floor to achieve a highly polished finish.
Laser screed machines are state-of-the-art technology in the concrete business and help ensure a perfectly level finish is achieved in the fastest and most effective way possible.
