Finishing:

Finishing operation is the last operation in making concrete. Finishing within original sense does not apply to all concrete operations. For a beam concreting, finishing may not be applicable, while for the concrete road pavement, airfield pavement or for the flooring of the domestic building, careful finishing is of great significance.

Surface finishes might be grouped as under:

(a)        Formwork finishes

(b)       Surface treatment

(c)        Applied finishes
