What is Architectural Finish Concrete?

Architectural finish concrete elevates standard concrete from purely functional to visually striking. These specialized finishes transform concrete surfaces into design features that enhance the aesthetic appeal of commercial spaces, retail environments, and public areas while maintaining the durability concrete is known for. Unlike basic concrete that’s left with a standard finish, architectural concrete receives specialized treatments to enhance color, texture, and visual appeal. The result is a surface that serves as both a structural element and a focal point of the design. Ideal for:
Retail storefronts and shopping centers
Office building lobbies and common areas

Restaurant and hospitality spaces

Public plazas and outdoor gathering spaces

Educational and institutional buildings

Multi-family residential common areas

How We Deliver Architectural Finishes

Metric Concrete specializes in multiple architectural finish techniques, each offering unique aesthetic possibilities:

Exposed Aggregate

Removing the top cement layer to reveal decorative stones, pebbles, or aggregate creates natural texture and visual interest. Popular for walkways, patios, and exterior areas.

Polished Concrete

Multi-step grinding and polishing creates smooth, glossy surfaces ideal for modern commercial interiors, retail spaces, and showrooms.

Stained Concrete

Chemical or acid stains produce rich, variegated colors and natural-looking patterns for both interior and exterior applications.

Stamped Concrete

Textured patterns that replicate brick, stone, slate, or wood grain for decorative outdoor areas including walkways, plazas, and entries.

Custom Formed Concrete

Specialized formwork leaves distinctive impressions—from wood grain textures to custom patterns—on the concrete surface.
