SANDBLASTED CONCRETE AVAILABLE
Sandblasted Concrete: The Custom Finish for Distinctive Design
Achieve a high-impact, custom-designed surface with the Sandblasted Concrete finish. This advanced technique is specifically engineered for embedding symbols, corporate logos, or unique artistic patterns directly into the concrete surface. The process involves precisely removing the soft, top layer (cement paste) of cured concrete, which in turn reveals a clean, fine, and consistent sandy finish. Sandblasting is the ultimate method for surfaces that require both personalized aesthetics and reliable, non-slip texture.
WHY CHOOSE SANDBLASTED CONCRETE?
Unmatched Customisation and Branding
Sandblasting allows for the creation of intricate and permanent designs, making your concrete floor or path a canvas for artistic expression or corporate branding. Using stencils and meticulous application, we can embed sharp, detailed symbols and logos that are visible in contrasting texture and colour (when coloured concrete is used). This is an ideal solution for public spaces, entryways, and commercial facilities looking to make a unique statement.
Consistent, Fine Sandy Texture
The finish is defined by its clean, granular, and uniform texture. By stripping away the outer layer of cement, the fine aggregate is exposed, creating a beautifully simple, non-uniform surface that enhances the natural look of the material. This textural change provides an appealing, matte finish that pairs well with surrounding landscaping or architecture.
Reliable and Slip-Resistant
Beyond its visual appeal, the sandblasted finish provides a tangible benefit in safety. The exposed sandy texture significantly increases the surface’s coefficient of friction, resulting in a reliable slip-resistant surface that is crucial for areas prone to moisture or heavy foot traffic, such as pool decks, plazas, and outdoor dining areas.
HOW IT WORKS
Creating a precision sandblasted surface requires expertise and careful preparation:
Curing and Preparation: The concrete slab is poured and allowed to cure to a specific hardness. Templates or stencils (for logos/patterns) are then meticulously secured to the surface, covering the areas that are not to be blasted.
The Blasting Process: High-pressure sand (or other abrasive material) is systematically directed at the exposed concrete surface. This process carefully erodes the cement paste, removing the top layer to reveal the fine sand and aggregate underneath.
Washing and Cleaning: Once the desired depth and texture are achieved, the surface is thoroughly washed to remove all residue and abrasive material, leaving a clean, exposed sandy finish.
Sealing: A quality penetrating or topical sealer is applied. This step protects the new texture from staining and moisture while preserving the clarity of the design.
Please Note: Due to its customisation capabilities and superior grip, Sandblasted Concrete is an outstanding choice for all exterior and high-traffic interior applications where logos, patterns, and safety are a priority.

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.
