Pavilion Concrete Highton, Geelong

The Highton project brings a light, stone-rich concrete surface around the pool and along the adjoining retaining edge. The broad view shows the pool surround within its outdoor setting; the closer photographs reveal the varied aggregate and the way the finish continues around corners and access details.

These images show the completed concrete while other parts of the surrounding landscape are still taking shape. The poolside floor is the focus: its material character, edges and relationship to the water.

Pavilion is our ground and acid-etched concrete finish, and the only finish we offer for exterior areas. It is specified for outdoor use and is distinct from the mechanically polished floors shown in our interior projects. A glossy interior reference is not a substitute for selecting an appropriate poolside finish.

The exposed stone gives this Highton surface its character. The flush access detail shows how a practical requirement can sit within the same concrete finish.

For a similar outdoor project, Irwin will discuss the slab, intended use, pool or landscape interfaces and the finish requirements before quoting. The principle remains Assess, Grind, Refine, Finish, with the specification determined by the exterior setting. Suitability and any required slip testing should be established for your project.
