Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-000787
To impart a textured, slip-resistant surface on freshly placed concrete by pulling a specialized broom across the slab before it has fully hardened.

The resulting broom finish is a standard requirement for many exterior flatwork applications, including sidewalks, ramps, and parking areas.
