Not just for patios, here’s Eco Grind’s guide on Where to Use Polished Concrete in Melbourne.
Durable, classy, and blending seamlessly with any surrounding, more and more homeowners in Melbourne are opting for outdoor polished concrete for their front and backyards.
While most like the idea of sprucing up their outdoor areas with polished concrete, however, we’re often asked by hesitant customers what our recommended applications for polished concrete would be. To provide the final, definitive answer, we asked our team for their recommendations and have compiled them into the following list:
Pool Surrounds
Polished concrete furnished with an anti-slip agent acts as a fantastic barrier between your pool and backyard. Framing your pool elegantly, it helps to block splashes of water and won’t rust or degrade even after decades of constistently getting wet.
Driveways
The true entranceway to your home, having a good-looking driveway is guaranteed to leave a positive first impression on neighbours, visitors, or passersby. Being durable and easy to clean, it can easily handle the wear and tear of cars and will provide a secure, sturdy support for your beloved collection of vehicles.
Paths
Paths of outdoor polished concrete from the street to your front door, garage, gardens, kids play areas, and more, make it easy for guests to find their way while protecting your lawn and plants from being trampled.
Patios
A well-designed, welcoming, and accommodating patio is the dream of all homeowners. With an outdoor polished concrete patio, you’ll have a designated space to wine, dine, and unwind surrounded by your garden while protecting the lawn. Similar to a pool surround, outdoor patio concrete can be fixed with a special non-slip solution and are extremely weather-proof, making them last and retain their looks for decades.
Alfresco Areas
While some may enjoy dining alfresco on their lawn, having chairs and tables constantly dragged across can cause irreversible damage while the lawn itself can dirty your outdoor furniture. With an outdoor polished concrete alfresco area, you can protect both while leaving furniture and BBQ sets set up for easy, no-stress alfresco dining at a moment’s notice!
