Plain concrete is the standard or most basic form of concrete available.
Once plain concrete has cured – that is, dried completely – the finish is white in colour.
What is Plain Concrete?
What Areas are Most Suitable for Plain Concrete?
Plain concrete is the best option for areas that will be tiled including:
- Alfresco Slabs
- Porch slabs
- Pool Surrounds
Plain concrete can be used for driveways or pathways, however, you may prefer coloured or stenciled concrete which are more decorative, or exposed aggregate concrete which provides better grip.
Benefits of Coloured Concrete
Plain concrete is the most cost effective concrete option.
It also has a broom finished texture meaning it will be soft underfoot compared to some of the exposed aggregate finishes.
How Much Does Plain Concrete Cost?
Plain concrete is the most affordable type of concrete available.
Considerations
So how do you know if plain concrete is right for you? The decision will come down to the following factors:
- What is my budget?
- How big is the area and what are the functional requirements?
- What are the aesthetic requirements? Am I trying to achieve a certain look / will this concrete be placed alongside existing concrete or design features of my property?
- Do I intend to tile over the concrete slab?

What Colours Are Available?
Plain concrete is only available in one colour – white.
If you would like a different colour with a brushed finish, you should consider coloured concrete. While coloured concrete has a slightly higher price point, you have an extensive range of 50+ colours to choose from. This will ensure the concrete not only blends into the environment but looks more cohesive with your property.
