Precision Broom Finish or Salt Finish Concrete
 

Description:
2500 PSI - 1" Minus Rock
3.5" to 4" thick

Process:
When installing a salt finish we always use the integral coloring system when a color other than natural grey is desired. The concrete is poured, leveled or trowled smooth, and begins to cure. Salt is applied to the concrete as it is curing. A roller is worked over the concrete to imbed the salt into the concrete. The salt begins to react with the concrete and slowly erodes the concrete to give it more of a weathered/porous look. The salt sits overnight and is washed off the following day. This process will give the concrete a porous look. A sealer is not required on this finish.


Curing Period:
We recommend that the concrete sit for a few days before any foot traffic be applied. We suggest that no vehicles or heavy items be placed on the concrete for at least 28 days, after which the concrete will be fully cured. If 28 days is not feasible to stay off the concrete, the psi (the density of concrete) can be increased so that the concrete will cure faster and will be able to withstand the weight of a heavy item such as a vehicle in less time.
