Pavilion Finish (Acid Etch)

Pavilion Finish, also known as Acid Etch, is a stylish, low-maintenance flooring solution that combines the natural beauty of exposed stone with a smooth, refined surface. Its textured appearance offers a slip-resistant finish, making it a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor spaces.

The process begins with mechanically grinding the concrete to achieve the desired level of stone exposure, followed by refining the surface to remove fine scratches and create a consistent finish.

An acid-etching process is then used to remove the cement matrix surrounding the stones, revealing the natural aggregate beneath. The result is a finish similar in appearance to exposed aggregate, while maintaining a flat, even surface. A penetrating sealer is applied to help protect the concrete and preserve its appearance.

Versatile and durable, Pavilion Finish is ideal for driveways, pathways, pool surrounds, alfresco areas, sheds and carports — delivering a practical finish without compromising on style.
