You can combine broom finishing with other decorative concrete options. Colored concrete with a broom texture is an especially popular option.
A broom finish is an affordable way to get a slip-resistant and beautiful surface. Homeowners and commercial property owners like that it looks elegant, but it’s subtle enough to fit with any style.
A broom finish isn’t only done on brand-new concrete, contrary to popular belief. If you already have a concrete surface, it can still be achieved! If your existing concrete slab is viable, SUNDEK of Washington can apply a coating on top of your slab and complete the broom finish technique.
If your existing surface has minor imperfections such as cracking or chipping, we can resolve that before putting on the new coating. You’ll get a surface that looks brand-new without having to tear any concrete out.
The coating we apply to the surface after prepping is SUNDEK’s SunRestore. This system is used on brand-new concrete slabs and existing slabs.
With SUNDEK’s SunRestore system, SUNDEK of Washington can apply Broom Finish just about anywhere on a property:
Let us know what you have in mind, and we can figure out how to make it happen.
Generally, here’s what we do at SUNDEK of Washington to install a broom finish on an existing slab of concrete:
While it’s possible to do it yourself, we recommend talking with a contractor such as SUNDEK of Washington.
Like any construction work, we are familiar with the common pitfalls people encounter with these types of projects. Since we’re a local business, we also know what times of year and times of day are best to do the work, as elements and temperature can affect the coating application process.
Though it’s a simple-looking finish, a broom finish effect is more difficult to achieve than it looks. You need to make sure you get complete coverage and are consistent as you move the broom across the surface.
Just like any other SUNDEK surface, the SunRestore coating with broom finish will last for years, maintaining its beauty. In fact, according to Mr. and Mrs. Bob Lane, clients in McLean, Virginia have this to say about their driveway: “After four years, the driveway still looks brand new, without any pitting, cracking or discoloration. It is very easy to clean and has required zero maintenance.”
