Craze refers to the network of small hairline cracks on the surface of the concrete – much like the
intersecting cracks on an antique pot, or on the surface of an old oil painting. Crazing usually occurs when the surface of the concrete dries rapidly. Crazing does not affect the concrete’s strength or durability; but has aesthetic appeal to some people. It should be noted that any grinding and polishing done to concrete surfaces will likely remove most crazing.
