COVING TROWEL CONCRETE AVAILABLE
Coving Concrete: The Definitive Finish for Safety and Rustic Style
Step away from the slick, modern look and embrace the natural beauty and rugged performance of the Coving Concrete finish. This technique is specifically designed to create a beautiful, rustic, and highly textured surface that mimics the look of natural stone or weathered terrain.
Achieved through specialized trowelling and texturing methods, Coving Concrete is the ultimate choice for enhancing safety and delivering a timeless, earthy aesthetic for all your outdoor and high-traction applications.
WHY CHOOSE COVING CONCRETE?
Rustic Charm and Earthy Appeal
Coving Concrete provides an unparalleled natural look that instantly adds character and warmth to any space. The unique texturing process brings out the natural variations in the concrete mix, resulting in a matte, variegated, and earthy appearance. It is the perfect complement to heritage homes, landscaping features, patios, and garden paths, where a classic, understated, and durable surface is required.
Superior Traction and Safety
The primary benefit of the Coving finish is its enhanced slip resistance. Unlike smooth finishes, the rugged texture of Coving Concrete significantly improves grip, making it a safe choice for areas exposed to water or heavy foot traffic. This makes it an ideal, worry-free solution for pool surrounds, exposed walkways, steep driveways, and alfresco areas where safety is paramount.
Hardy, Weather-Resistant, and Durable
Built to endure the harsh Australian climate, Coving Concrete is exceptionally tough and low-maintenance. The intentionally textured surface is highly effective at hiding minor imperfections and marks, and it stands up brilliantly against UV exposure, rain, and temperature fluctuations. Once sealed, this finish provides a long-lasting, resilient surface that retains its beauty with minimal effort, easily outperforming delicate paving or timber.
HOW IT WORKS
Achieving the perfect Coving texture requires careful technique and timing:
Preparation and Pour: The ready-mix concrete is poured and leveled as usual, ensuring the mix is consistent for the desired texture and colour.
Initial Float: The surface is initially floated to bring a fine layer of cement paste to the top, preparing it for texturing.
Specialised Trowelling (The “Coving”): A specific hand or power trowel technique is used to create the signature textured profile. This process deliberately manipulates the surface to achieve a consistent, yet rustic, non-uniform finish that defines the Coving style.
Curing and Sealing: After the concrete has cured, a heavy-duty, penetrating sealer is applied. This seals the surface against moisture and staining while locking in the rugged texture and further enhancing its durability.
Please Note: Due to its exceptional traction and weather resilience, Coving Concrete is perfectly suited for exterior applications such as patios, driveways, pool decks, and public walkways.

WHAT IS COLOURED CONCRETE?
Coloured concrete is the same substance as your generic ready-mix concrete, just with some added pigmentation for your desired colour. It is made up of cement, aggregates, water, and the colour pigment is added in the mixing process. When you use coloured concrete, you can choose whether you want to use this opportunity for the concrete to blend in with its surroundings or pull all the attention as the focal point. Adding colour to your concrete gives a new dimension to your project; this way, you can also accurately colour match any new concrete with an existing pour.
