Architectural concrete poured in-situ (on site) is the best option for BBQ bench-tops, floating stairs and bench seats.

Burnished concrete is very popular in both residential and commercial design for a simple reason: it combines striking aesthetics with serious durability, without the high maintenance or cost of other premium finishes.

Burnished Concrete – Modern, Durable, Effortlessly Beautiful

At Shape and Form, we love working with burnished concrete, and once you see it in action, you’ll understand why it’s a standout choice for modern landscape features like floating steps, bench seating, and barbecue benchtops.

Sleek, Architectural Finish

Burnished concrete offers a refined, smooth surface with a natural sheen that adds sophistication to any outdoor space. Its minimalist look pairs perfectly with contemporary materials like timber, steel, and natural stone, making it a designer’s dream.

Built to Withstand the Elements

When sealed correctly, burnished concrete is incredibly tough and weather resistant. It won’t fade in the sun, stain easily, or crack under heat, making it the ideal material for high-traffic areas like:

  • Floating steps

  • Outdoor bench seats

  • BBQ benchtops and food prep areas

Low Maintenance, Long Life

With no grout lines, no joins, and a naturally sealed surface, burnished concrete is easy to clean and maintain. Just a periodic reseal is all it takes to keep it looking as good as the day it was poured.

Custom Made for Every Project

Every pour is unique. We can tailor the finish, from colour and aggregate exposure to sheen level giving you a bespoke product that feels truly high end.
