PROFESSIONAL BROOM FINISH CONCRETE INSTALLATION

Broom-finish concrete is a texturing technique applied to concrete where a broom is dragged across the surface, creating a rough texture that improves traction and slip-resistance. 

It offers increased traction, making it ideal for driveways, walkways, and other areas that may be slippery when wet. It is also an economical and durable finish for concrete surfaces. 

After the concrete is poured and leveled, while it's still slightly wet, a broom is pulled across the surface to create the textured finish.

Yes, coloring agents can be added to the concrete mix before pouring, or stains can be applied after curing to achieve various color effects. 

Broom-finish concrete is suitable for many climates, especially those that experience rain or snow since it offers good slip resistance.

Regular sweeping and occasional pressure washing are generally sufficient to keep broom-finished concrete clean.

Yes, sealing broom-finish concrete helps to protect the surface from staining and wear. It can also enhance the color of stained or colored concrete. 

Weather can impact the timing and quality of the broom finish. For instance, concrete may dry too quickly in hot weather, making it difficult to achieve the desired texture.

Small cracks or chips can be filled with concrete patching compounds. For larger repairs, it may be necessary to remove and repour sections of the concrete.

When properly installed and maintained, broom-finish concrete can last for several decades.

Broom-finish is typically one of the most cost-effective finishes for concrete because it requires fewer additional materials and labor.

Yes, by using different types of brooms and varying the technique, you can create a range of textures from lightly to heavily textured finishes.

Maintenance typically involves regular cleaning, immediate removal of stains, resealing every few years, and avoiding the use of harsh chemicals that can damage the surface.

Yes, broom-finished concrete can be resurfaced with a concrete overlay to restore its appearance and texture if the underlying structure is still sound.

The broom finish should be applied when the concrete is firm enough to support the weight of a worker but still soft enough to shape. The exact timing can vary based on temperature and humidity conditions.
